The RWM (main memory) 61 is a storage medium capable of storing (updating) various data based on the progress of the game.
The ROM 62 is a storage medium that stores programs necessary for the progress of the game, various data (for example, a data table), and the like.
The main CPU 63 refers to a CPU provided on the main control board 60, and executes programs and calculations necessary for the progress of the game. Specifically, the lottery of the combination, the drive control of the reel 31, and the winning Execute paying out.

The sub-control board 80 controls the selection and output of effects (information) during the game and during the game standby.
The main control board 60 and the sub control board 80 are electrically connected, and the serial communication circuit in the main CPU 63 of the main control board 60 has information (signals) necessary for production in one direction on the sub control board 80. , Data, control commands, etc.).
The main control board 60 and the sub control board 80 are not limited to being electrically connected but may be connected using an optical communication unit. Furthermore, both the electrical connection and the optical communication connection are not limited to serial communication, and may be parallel communication.

Similar to the main control board 60, the sub control board 80 includes an RWM 81, a ROM 82, a sub CPU 83, and the like.
The RWM (sub memory) 81 is a storage medium capable of temporarily storing data and the like captured when the sub CPU 83 controls the effect.
The ROM (sub-ROM) 82 is a storage medium for storing programs such as a lottery for production, various data, and the like as production data.

The medals inserted from the medal insertion slot 44 are configured to pass through the medal selector 45.
As shown in FIG. 1, the medal selector 45 includes a passage sensor 46, a blocker 47, and insertion sensors 48 a and 48 b (but not limited to these), and is electrically connected to the main control board 60. Yes.
When a medal is inserted from the medal slot 44, the passage sensor 46 first detects the medal.

  Further, a blocker 47 is provided on the downstream side of the passage sensor 46. The blocker 47 is provided in the medal passage, and is used to allow / disallow medal passage (insertion). When the medal insertion is not permitted, the blocker 47 is inserted from the medal insertion slot 44. A medal passage for returning medals from the payout opening is formed. On the other hand, when the medal insertion is permitted, a medal passage for guiding the medal inserted from the medal insertion port 44 to the hopper 35a is formed.

  Here, the blocker 47 does not allow the insertion of medals during the game (from the start of the rotation of the reels 31 until all the reels 31 are stopped and the payout corresponding to the winning combination is completed at the time of winning the winning combination). ) State. That is, the blocker 47 permits the insertion of medals at least when no game is being played.

  On the further downstream side of the blocker 47, input sensors 48a and 48b (optical sensors) are provided. Therefore, medals inserted from the medal insertion slot 44 are further detected by the insertion sensors 48a (upstream side) and 48b (downstream side) after being detected by the passage sensor 46.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 1, the main control board 60 is electrically provided with a settlement switch 43, a bet switch 40, a start switch 41, and a (left, middle, right) stop switch 42 as operation switches operated by the player. It is connected to the.

The settlement switch 43 is a switch operated by the player when paying out (paying out) medals stored (credited) in the slot machine 10.
The bet switch 40 is a switch operated by the player when betting a stored medal for the game. In this embodiment, the bet switch 40 includes a 1-bet switch 40a for betting one piece (the minimum number in one game) and a max-bet switch 40b for betting the maximum number of medals that can be bet in the game. Prepare.

In the present embodiment, except for the MB game described later, the game is set by inserting three medals, and in the MB game, the game is set by inserting two medals. For this reason, in the game other than the MB game, when the max bet switch 40b is operated, three medals are inserted. In the MB game, when the max bet switch 40b is operated, two medals are inserted.
However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a bet switch for two bets may be provided.

The start switch 41 is a switch operated by the player when starting the reels 31 (all of left, middle, and right).
Furthermore, three stop switches 42 are provided corresponding to the three (left, middle, and right) reels 31 and are operated by the player when the corresponding reels 31 are stopped.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 1, a display substrate 70 is electrically connected to the main control substrate 60. In practice, a relay board is provided between the main control board 60 and the display board 70, and the main control board 60 and the relay board, and the relay board and the display board 70 are connected. In FIG. 1, the illustration of the relay board is omitted. Thus, the main control board 60 and the display board 70 may be directly connected by a harness or the like, but another board may be interposed between them.

A storage number display LED 71, an acquisition number display LED 72, and a status display LED 73 are connected to the display substrate 70.
FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating a storage number display LED 71, an acquisition number display LED 72, and a state display LED 73. In FIG. 2, a display substrate 70 (indicated by a dotted line in FIG. 2) is disposed inside the slot machine 10 below the storage number display LED 71, the acquired number display LED 72, and the status display LED 73.

The storage number display LED 71 is an LED that displays the number of stored medals, and is composed of two seven-segment displays (so-called 7-segment) in order to display two digits.
Further, the acquired number display LED 72 is an LED for displaying the number of payouts (player acquired number) when winning a winning combination. Like the stored number display LED 71, the acquired number display LED 72 includes two seven-segment displays.

  Here, in the present embodiment, AT management (AT lottery, start, addition, continuation, end, etc.) to be described later is performed on the main control board 60 side, information on the AT, information on the lottery result of the combination, and stop Information (operation information) related to the operation mode (push order) of the switch 42 is transmitted from the main control board 60 to the sub control board 80. On the side of the sub control board 80, the operation mode (push order) of the stop switch 42 is notified based on the information transmitted from the main control board 60.

  Furthermore, in this embodiment, the notification of the operation mode (push order) of the stop switch 42 is performed not only on the sub control board 80 side but also on the main control board 60 side. For notification of the operation mode (push order) on the main control board 60 side, peripheral devices (such as LEDs) connected to the main control board 60 are used. In the present embodiment, the acquired number display LED 72 is used. For this reason, in this embodiment, the acquisition number display LED 72 also functions as the operation information display LED 74. The notification of the operation mode (push order) by the acquisition number display LED 72 will be described later.

The storage number display LED 71 displays the number of stored medals, and in this embodiment, displays a number between “00” and “50” (integer).
For example, in a state where no medals are bet and stored, the display of the storage number display LED 71 is “00”. Here, when one medal is maintained, the one medal is bet for the game. When two more medals are additionally inserted, three medals are bet for the game (when the bet limit number is three). Therefore, when up to three medals are maintained, the medals are bet and not stored. As medals continue to be maintained, medals are stored in the slot machine 10 and the number of stored medals is displayed by the stored number display LED 71.

  In this embodiment, a maximum of 50 medals can be stored. Therefore, when the number of stored sheets reaches 50 (when “50” is displayed on the stored number display LED 71), medals are not stored any more. In this state, if a medal is maintained from the medal insertion slot 43, the maintained medal is returned from the payout slot 14 by the blocker 45.

Further, the acquisition number display LED 72 displays the number of medals to be paid out when winning a winning combination.
The acquisition number display LED 72 is “00” when there is no medal to be paid out. For example, when one medal is paid out, the display of the acquisition number display LED 72 is changed from “00” to “01”. .
The acquired number display LED 72 may be controlled to be turned off when there are no medals to be paid out.

  Here, when a combination with a medal payout (except for replay) wins and pays out a medal corresponding to that combination, the medal is stored in the slot machine 10 in preference to paying out from the payout port 14. . For example, if one medal is paid out when the stored number is “10”, the display of the acquired number display LED 72 is updated from “00” to “01”, and the display of the stored number display LED 71 is “10”. Is updated to “11”.

  In addition, when the winning number of the winning combination exceeds “50”, the portion exceeding “50” is paid out from the payout opening 14. For example, when the number of stored sheets is “47”, if 7 medals are paid out, 3 are stored and the stored number is “50”, and 4 sheets exceeding “50” are paid out from the payout port 14. .

  Further, when a replay is won, medals are not stored and paid out, and the number of medals bet in the game are automatically bet for re-game. For example, when the game is played with 3 bets (3 cards) and the replay wins, 3 medals are automatically bet. Since the automatic bet based on the replay winning is the insertion of medals for replaying, even if a settlement (return) operation is performed thereafter, the medals are not settled.

  According to the “Rules for Game Machine Approval and Type Approval, etc.”, when the combination of symbols corresponding to replay is stopped on the active line, the condition device for replaying is activated (regardless of the insertion of medals, etc.). Is given) and is not interpreted as “winning (displaying a combination of symbols for acquiring medals and the like)”. However, in this specification and the like, replay is also treated as one of the roles (replaying role), and the combination of symbols corresponding to the replay is stopped on the active line is referred to as “replay winning”.

The status display LED 73 is composed of seven LEDs (73a to 73g).
The replay display LED 73a is an LED that is lit when a replay is won, and when an automatic bet is made based on the replay win, the replay display LED 73a is lit almost simultaneously to notify the player that the bet state is automatic.
The insertable display LED 73b is an LED that lights up when a medal can be inserted. That is, it lights up before the game is finished and a medal for shifting to the next game is inserted, indicating a so-called bet waiting state.

The settlement display LED 73c is an LED that is lit during the settlement process. When the settlement switch 46 is turned on in a state where there is a stored medal and / or a bet medal (excluding an automatic bet at the time of replay winning), the light is lit while the medal is actually paid out.
The game start LED 73d is an LED that lights up when a medal is inserted and the start switch 41 becomes operable. Therefore, it does not light up when no medal is bet (or when replay is not automatically inserted).

(1, 2, 3) Insertion display LEDs 73e to 73g are LEDs that display the number of medals bet.
When one medal is bet, “1 BET (single insertion display LED 73e)” is lit, and when two medals are bet, “1 BET (one insertion display LED 73e)” and “2 BET ( When the “two-sheet display LED 73f)” is lit and three medals are bet, “1BET (one-sheet display LED 73e)”, “2BET (two-sheet display LED 73f)” and “3BET (three-sheet insertion) The display LED 73g) "lights up.

The main control board 60 is electrically connected to the motor 32 of the symbol display device 30 and the like.
The symbol display device 30 includes a reel 31 (three in this embodiment) that displays symbols, a motor 32 that drives each reel 31, and a reel sensor 39 that detects the position of the reel 31.

  The motor 32 is for rotating the reels 31, is connected to the center of rotation of each reel 31, and is controlled by a reel control means 63 c described later. Here, the reel 31 includes a left reel 31, a middle reel 31, and a right reel 31, and a stop switch 42 that is operated when the left reel 31 is stopped is the left stop switch 42, and when the middle reel 31 is stopped. The stop switch 42 to be operated is the middle stop switch 42, and the stop switch 42 to be operated when stopping the right reel 31 is the right stop switch 42.

The reel 31 is ring-shaped, and a reel tape on which a plurality of types of symbols (designs constituting a combination of symbols corresponding to the combination) is attached is attached to the outer peripheral surface thereof.
FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a symbol arrangement of the reels 31. In FIG. 3, symbol numbers are also shown. For example, in the left reel 31, the symbol of symbol number 20 is “bell”.
In the symbol, “blank” does not mean a blank, that is, a blank, but has a unique symbol.

As shown in FIG. 3, in this embodiment, the symbol display area of each reel 31 is equally divided into 20 frames (symbols), and a predetermined symbol is displayed on each frame. Depending on the specifications of the slot machine 10, 21 frames may be used.
FIG. 4 is a view showing the display window (transparent window) 13 provided in the slot machine 10, the positional relationship between the reels 31, and the effective lines.

  In this embodiment, three reels 31 (left reel 31, middle reel 31, and right reel 31) are provided in parallel in the horizontal direction in this embodiment. Further, each reel 31 is arranged so that three symbols that are continuous in the vertical direction can be seen from the display window 13. Therefore, the display windows 13 of the slot machine 10 are arranged so that a total of nine symbols can be seen. The numbers on the lower right of each symbol indicate the symbol number.

  In this specification, “Replay (No. 11)” of the left reel 31, “JAC-A (No. 12)” of the middle reel 31, and “Replay (No. 13)” of the right reel 31 in FIG. The position where the symbol is stopped is called “upper stage”, “bell (No. 10)” of the left reel 31, “bell (No. 11)” of the middle reel 31, and “bell (No. 12)” of the right reel 31. The position at which the symbol of FIG. 8 stops is called “middle stage”, “JAC-A (No. 09)” of the left reel 31, “Replay (No. 10)” of the middle reel 31, and “JAC-B” of the right reel 31. The position where the symbol (No. 11) is stopped is referred to as “lower stage”.

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 4, effective lines are set for the nine symbols visible from the display window 13.
Here, the “effective line” is a symbol combination line that forms a symbol combination when the reel 31 is stopped, and a symbol combination corresponding to any of the combinations is the line. If the combination of symbols corresponding to any combination stops on that line, a profit is awarded according to the combination (medal payout, etc.) It is a line that performs. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, only the effective line (one line) in the middle in the horizontal direction is determined, and all the other symbol combination lines are invalid lines.

  For example, in FIG. 4, a symbol combination line passing through the upper stage of each reel 31 and a symbol combination line passing through the lower stage of the left reel 31, the middle stage of the middle reel 31, and the upper stage of the right reel 31 are also conceivable. This line is an invalid line in this embodiment. An invalid line is a line that is not set as a valid line among symbol combination lines, and even if a combination of symbols corresponding to any of the combinations stops on that line, a profit corresponding to the combination is given. This line does not perform (medal payout etc.). In other words, the invalid line is a line that is not a target of combination of symbols in the first place.

Here, conventionally, a slot machine is known in which the number of effective lines differs according to the number of medals bet. For example, when the number of medal bets is one, one effective line is set, when the number of medal bets is two, the number of effective lines is three, and when the number of medal bets is three, the number of effective lines is set to five. And so on.
On the other hand, in this embodiment, except for the MB game, a game is performed by betting three medals, and in the MB game, a game is performed by betting two medals. However, in all games, the game is always horizontal. Only one in the middle direction is an effective line.

  Each reel 31 is provided with one (or two or more) index. The index is provided in a convex shape on, for example, the circumferential side surface of the reel 31 and is used when detecting whether the reel 31 has passed a predetermined position, whether it has rotated one time, or the like. Each index is detected by the reel sensor 39. The signal of the reel sensor 39 is electrically connected to the main control board 60. When the reel sensor 39 detects (cuts) the index, the input signal is input to the main control board 60, and it is detected that the reel 31 has passed a predetermined position.

Further, a symbol on the reference position at the moment when the reel sensor 39 detects the index of the reel 31 is stored in the ROM 62 in advance. Thereby, the symbol on the reference position at the moment when the index is detected can be detected.
The medal payout device 35 is electrically connected to the main control board 60. The medal payout device 35 is a hopper 35a for storing medals, a hopper motor 36 that is driven when paying out medals of the hopper 35a from the payout port, and a payout for detecting medals paid out from the hopper 35a. Sensors 37a and 37b are provided.

The medals that are maintained and received from the medal slot 44 are formed so as to be accommodated in the hopper 35a through a predetermined passage (also referred to as “chute portion”).
The payout sensors 37a and 37b are provided with a payout sensor 37a on the upstream side and a payout sensor 37b on the downstream side, similarly to the input sensors 48a and 48b.

  The payout sensors 37a and 37b are arranged at a predetermined distance, and are configured to be detected by the payout sensor 37b after a predetermined time has elapsed since the medal was detected by the payout sensor 37a. Then, based on the timing when the payout sensors 37a and 37b are turned on / off, it is determined whether or not the medals have been paid out correctly.

For example, when the signals of the payout sensors 37a and 37b are both off despite the hopper motor 36 being driven, it is determined that no medal has been paid out, and a hopper error (no medal) is detected. Is done.
On the other hand, when at least one of the signals from the payout sensor 37a or 37b remains on, it is detected that a medal jam has occurred.
The full sensor 38 is a sensor that detects the fullness of the sub tank 35b that accommodates medals overflowing from the hopper 35a, and is configured by a circuit that energizes when the medals come into contact when the medals in the sub tank 35b become full.

The door switch 16 is a switch for detecting an open / closed state of a front cover (not shown) of the slot machine 10 and is configured to be turned on when the front cover is opened and turned off when the front cover is closed. Yes.
The power switch 51 is a switch for turning on / off the power of the slot machine 10.
The setting key switch 52 is a switch that is turned on when a setting key is inserted from the setting key insertion slot and rotated 90 degrees to the right, and is turned on when confirming the setting or changing the setting.

The setting change / reset switch 53 is a switch that serves as both a setting change switch and a reset switch with a single switch. Note that the setting change switch and the reset switch may be provided separately.
The setting change / reset switch 53 is operated when changing a setting value. When the power switch 51 is turned on while the setting key switch 52 is turned on, reset, that is, initialization processing is performed, and predetermined data stored in the RWM 61 and the RWM 81 is cleared.

The setting door switch 54 is a switch for detecting the open / closed state of the setting door (the door covering the setting key switch 52 and the setting change / reset switch 53) (not shown), and is turned on when the setting door is opened. It is configured to turn off when closed.
For example, an error occurs when the setting door switch 54 is off, that is, when the setting key switch 52 is on while the setting door is not opened.

The sub-control board 80 is electrically connected to the following peripheral devices for effects through an input port or an output port (not shown).
The effect lamp 21 is made of an LED, for example, and lights up in a predetermined pattern when a predetermined condition is satisfied. Note that the effect lamp 21 is arranged on the inner peripheral side of each reel 31, and a back lamp and reel 31 for illuminating from behind the symbols displayed on the reel 31 (three symbols that are continuously visible from the display window 13). Fluorescent lamps that illuminate the symbols on the reel 31 from above, and a frame lamp that is arranged on the front surface of the slot machine 10 and blinks when winning a winning combination.

The speaker 22 outputs a predetermined sound when a predetermined condition is satisfied so as to perform various effects during the game.
The image display device 23 is composed of a liquid crystal display, an organic EL display, a dot display, and the like, and various effect images (effects corresponding to push order during AT, lottery results, etc.) and game information during the game. (The number of games during AT, the number of differences, etc.) are displayed.
The push button 24 and the cross key 25 are used when displaying information intended by the player or when a hall manager (store manager or the like) changes various settings.

Next, a specific configuration of the main control board 60 will be described.
As shown in FIG. 1, the main CPU 63 of the main control board 60 includes the following setting change means 63a and the like. Note that the following means in the present embodiment are examples, and are not limited to the means shown in the present embodiment.

The setting change means 63a is a means for changing and determining the set value.
Here, the set value defines the degree of player's advantage, more specifically, the expected value of the payout number with respect to the number of inserted medals (medals that can be acquired by the player), and is set in this embodiment. 1 to setting 6 stages are provided.
The higher the set value, the higher the advantage for the player, such as the higher the winning probability of at least some of the combinations.

Further, the higher the set value, the higher the probability of shifting to the AT (the winning probability of the AT lottery), and the higher the advantage for the player.
In addition, it is not limited only to increasing the probability of shifting to AT, for example, the number of games during AT, the number of medals paid out, or the difference number (net increase number) obtained by subtracting the number of inserted medals from the number of medals paid out The probability of winning (the winning probability of the extra lottery) may be increased, or the probability of continuing the AT (the winning probability of the continuous lottery) may be increased.

In order to set / change the set value, a power switch 51, a setting key switch 52, and a setting change / reset switch 53 are used.
In this embodiment, when the power switch 51 is off and the power is turned off, the setting key switch 52 is turned on when a setting key is inserted into the setting key insertion slot and rotated 90 degrees clockwise. When the power switch 51 is turned on again in this state, the setting is being changed, that is, the setting changing mode is entered. In this case, normal startup processing is not performed. Therefore, in order to change the setting, the power switch 51 needs to be turned on / off. In addition, by the above operation, reset, that is, initialization processing is performed, and predetermined data (for example, setting value information, information on winning of AT, etc.) stored in RWM 61 and RWM 81 are deleted.

In the setting change mode, the setting changing means 63a displays the current setting value on the setting value display LED 64.
The setting change means 63a displays the set value every time the setting change / reset switch 53 is operated (turned on) once... → “1” → “2” → “3” → “4” “→” 5 ”→“ 6 ”→“ 1 ”→“ 2 ”→...

Further, when the start switch 41 is turned on, the setting change means 63a determines the setting value with the numerical value displayed on the setting value display LED 64 at this time, and “0” indicating that the setting value has been determined. Is displayed on the set value display LED 64.
Then, the setting changing unit 63a rotates the setting key 90 degrees counterclockwise to turn off the setting key switch 52, thereby storing the determined setting value in a predetermined storage area in the RWM 61. It becomes possible to play with the set value.

  Furthermore, in the state where no medals are bet and the part lottery is not performed (before the start switch 41 is operated), the setting key is inserted into the setting key insertion slot, and the setting key switch 52 is turned on. Then, “Setting confirmation is in progress”. That is, when only the set value is confirmed, it is not necessary to turn on / off the power switch 51. During the setting confirmation, the setting value at the present time is displayed on the setting display LED 64 as in the case of the setting change.

The role lottery means 63b performs lottery for each game at the start of the game.
Here, the combination of the combination of the present embodiment and its design, etc. will be described.
5 to 7 are diagrams showing types of combinations, symbol combinations, and payouts in the present embodiment. For example, in FIG. 5, two combinations of symbols corresponding to “Replay 03” are “Replay” — “Bell” — “JAC-A” and “Replay” — “Bell” — “JAC-B”. (In the case of having a combination of a plurality of symbols in other roles, it has the same meaning).

The roles of this embodiment are roughly classified into special roles, replays, and small roles.
A combination of symbols corresponding to each combination and a payout at the time of winning (the number of payouts, etc.) are determined. When all the reels 31 are stopped, when the combination of symbols corresponding to any of the combinations stops on the active line (the combination wins, the same applies hereinafter), the number of medals corresponding to the combination is paid out.

First, the special role is a role that shifts to a special game. In the present embodiment, an MB (middle bonus, also referred to as a second type big bonus (2BB)) is provided as a special combination.
Other special roles include 1BB (first type big bonus), RB (regular bonus), SB (single bonus), etc., but are not provided in this embodiment.
When the MB wins, there is no payout of medals in the game, but the next game shifts to the MB game corresponding to the special game.

In addition, the replay (re-playing combination) is a combination that enables a re-play that maintains the number of medals inserted in the game (automatic bets on medals).
As shown in FIG. 5, the replay includes replay 01 to replay 06.
Further, as shown in FIGS. 5 to 7, the small combination includes a small combination 01 to a small combination 31.
For the small roles 01 and 02, the payout (the number of medals to be paid out) at the time of winning is set to 7 for non-MB games (when 3 cards are inserted), and is set to 2 for MB games (when 2 cards are inserted). .

For the small role 03, the payout at the time of winning is set to 3 for non-MB games and set to 2 for MB games.
For the small role 24, the payout at the time of winning is set to 5 for non-MB games and set to 2 for MB games.
For the small role 31, the payout at the time of winning is set to 1 for non-MB games and set to 2 for MB games.
For the small roles other than the above (small roles 04 to 23 and 25 to 30), the payout at the time of winning is set to one regardless of whether or not the game is an MB game.

  Further, in the small role 31, the symbol of the right reel 31 is set to “ANY”, that is, an arbitrary symbol. In the present embodiment, during the MB game, the right reel 31 is controlled to stop within 75 ms, so that even if any symbol stops, the small role 31 can be won.

In each of the above-mentioned combinations, when the combination of symbols corresponding to the combination does not stop on the active line in the game won for the combination, a combination that is carried over to the next game and a combination that is not carried over are determined.
The role carried over is the special role MB. When an MB is won, the game is controlled so that the MB win is carried over to the next game in the game until the MB wins.

  On the other hand, small roles and replays are not carried over. In the lottery of a combination, when a small combination or replay is won, the winning combination is valid only in the game, and the winning combination is not carried over to the next game. That is, in the game won for these winning combinations, the reel 31 is controlled to stop so that a combination of symbols corresponding to the winning combination can be won, but at the end of the game regardless of whether or not the winning combination is won. , The right (that is, information) related to the winning role will disappear.

  A game in which a special role is not won (a game in which a special role is not carried over) is referred to as “non-inside”. A game in which a special role is won in a game before the game but the selected special role is not won (a game in which the special role is carried over) is called “inside”.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the role lottery means 63b includes, for example, a random number generation means for hardware lottery (a hardware random number, a random number generation circuit provided in the main CPU 63, etc.) and a random number generated by the random number generation means. And a determination means for determining whether or not a winning combination has been won and a winning combination based on the random value extracted by the random number extracting means.

  The random number generation means generates random numbers in a predetermined area (for example, 0 to 65535 in decimal notation). For example, the main counter is a random number (hardware random number) or a predetermined random numerical order (numerical sequence) in which a counter that performs one count at 200 n (nano) sec continues counting as a cycle in the range of 0 to 65535. It is a random number (built-in random number) that is updated every clock cycle input to the CPU 63, and continues to count the random number while the slot machine 10 is powered on.

  The random number extraction means extracts the random number generated by the random number generation means at a predetermined time, in the present embodiment, when the start switch 41 is operated (turned on) by the player. The judging means collates the random number value extracted by the random number extracting means with the role lottery table, thereby determining the combination corresponding to the area to which the random number value belongs. For example, if the extracted random number value belongs to the MB winning area, it is determined as MB winning, and if it belongs to the non-winning area, it is determined as non-winning. The extracted random number may be processed by calculation and collated with the role lottery table.

  The combination lottery table defines the types of combinations to be selected and the winning probability of each combination. The role lottery table is provided for each gaming state, and each has a predetermined range of lottery areas.This lottery area is divided into a winning area and a non-winning area for each role, and It is set to a predetermined ratio so as to have a winning probability set in advance.

FIG. 8 is a diagram showing the types and details of winning combinations that are selected by the winning lottery means 63b. In the present embodiment, the winning numbers are “00” to “29”. These winning numbers “00” to “29” are also referred to as “condition devices”.
For the MB with the winning number “00”, the MB is selected alone, the replay A with the same “01” is selected with the replay 01 alone, and the replay F with the “06” is selected with the replay 06 alone and the “27” The small role J1 of “is a winning combination of the small role 27 alone.

For winning numbers other than the above, two or more types of winning combinations will be won simultaneously (simultaneous winning).
For example, in the replay B with the winning number “02”, the replay 01 and the replay 06 are won in duplicate.
In the present embodiment, the replay does not have a case where the replays are duplicated between the replays and a combination other than the replay is won. In addition, the small role does not have a case where the small role is duplicated and won with a role other than the small role.

Replay single wins or duplicate wins have win numbers “01” to “08”.
For replays A to E with winning numbers “01” to “05” and replays G to H with winning numbers “07” to “08”, replay 01 and other replays are won in duplicate.
Furthermore, with respect to the replays B to E, G, and H of the winning numbers “02” to “05”, “07”, and “08”, the types of replays that can be awarded differ depending on the pressing order of the stop switch 42. It is positioned as “order replay”.

As a single winning combination or overlapping winning combination, the winning numbers “09” to “29” are provided.
In addition, for the small roles A1 to D2 of the winning numbers “09” to “16”, the small role 01 and other small roles are won in duplicate.
Furthermore, for the small roles E1 to F2 of the winning numbers “17” to “20”, the small role 02 and other small roles are won in duplicate.
Furthermore, for the small roles G1 to G2 with the winning numbers “21” to “22”, the small role 03 and other small roles are won in duplicate.

In addition, the small combinations A1 to G2 with the winning numbers “09” to “22” are positioned as “push order bells” in which the types of small combinations (bells) that can be won according to the pressing order of the stop switch 42 are different. .
In each of the above condition devices, the relationship between the pressing order of the stop switch 42 and the winning combination is determined in advance, which will be described later.

FIG. 9 is a diagram showing the winning probabilities for the gaming states of the winning numbers “00” to “29” described above. In other words, FIG. 9 shows a role lottery table for each gaming state.
As shown in FIG. 9, in this embodiment, the “gaming state” on the main control board 60 side includes non-RT (non-inside), RT (inside MB), and MB games.
In FIG. 9, “numerical value” is a value indicating a winning range out of the entire range “65536” taken by the random number value. Therefore, the winning probability = “numerical value / 65536”. For example, in non-RT, since the number of the replay A with the winning number “01” is “8771”, the winning probability of the replay A is “8771/65536”.

As shown in FIG. 9, the winning probability of replay is set to be different for each gaming state. For example, the replay A of the winning number “01” is drawn with a winning probability of “8771/65536” in the non-RT, is drawn with a winning probability of “2030/65535” in the RT, and is not drawn in the MB game.
On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 9, the small roles A1 to J3 with the winning numbers “09” to “29” are drawn with the same winning probability in all the gaming states.

In addition, in the non-RT (non-inside), since the combined value of the replays A to H is “8978”, the combined value of the winning probabilities of the replays A to H is “8978/65536” (about 13.7). %).
Furthermore, in RT (inside the MB), the combined value of the replays A to H is “19963”, so the combined value of the winning probabilities for Replays A to H is “19963/65536” (about 30%). It is.

Furthermore, in both non-RT (non-inside) and RT (inside MB), the combined values of the small combinations A1 to G2 (push order bell) are “43420”. The total value of the winning probabilities of G2 is “43420/65536” (about 66.3%).
For this reason, in both non-RT (non-inside) and RT (inside MB), push-bell winning (small roles A1 to A1) is determined based on the probability of winning a replay (winning one of replays A to H). The probability of winning one of G2) is higher.

In addition, the replays F to H with the winning numbers “06” to “08” are positioned as “rare replays” whose winning probabilities are lower than other replays.
Furthermore, the small roles H1 to J3 of the winning numbers “23” to “29” are positioned as “rare small roles” whose winning probability is lower than other small roles.
Rare small roles and rare replays are collectively referred to as “rare roles”.

In FIG. 1, the main CPU 63 controls on / off of a winning flag corresponding to each combination based on the combination lottery result by the combination lottery means 63b. In this embodiment, a winning flag (a part of the storage area of the RWM 61) is provided for each combination for each combination. When any of the winning combinations is selected by the winning lottery means 63b, the winning flag for the winning combination corresponding to the winning is turned on (the winning flag is set).
For example, when winning the replay D of the winning number “04”, as shown in FIG. 8, a total of four winning flags of replay 01, replay 02, replay 03, and replay 06 are turned on, and the other roles The winning flag will be off.

In FIG. 1, the reel control means 63c starts to rotate all (three) reels 31 when a rotation start command for the reels 31 is received, particularly when the start switch 41 is operated in this embodiment. To control.
Further, the reel control means 63c refers to on / off of the winning flag in the game after the winning lottery is performed by the winning lottery means 63b, and refers to the stop position determination table corresponding to the on / off of the winning flag. When the stop switch 42 is operated, the stop position of the reel 31 corresponding to the stop switch 42 is determined based on the operation timing of the stop switch 42, and the motor 32 is driven and controlled. The reel 31 is controlled to stop at the position.

  For example, in a game in which at least one winning flag is turned on, the reel control means 63c selects a combination of symbols corresponding to the winning combination (the combination with the winning flag turned on) within the range of the stop control of the reel 31. The reel 31 is stopped and controlled so as to be able to stop on the active line, and the reel 31 is stopped and controlled so as not to stop the combination of symbols corresponding to a combination other than the winning combination (the combination whose winning flag is off) on the effective line. .

Here, “within the range of stop control of the reel 31” means the time from the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated until the reel 31 actually stops or the amount of rotation of the reel 31 (the number of moving frames (symbols)). Means within range.
In the present embodiment, the reel 31 rotates at a speed of about 80 rotations per minute at a constant speed.
When the stop switch 42 is operated, the time from when the stop switch 42 is operated until the reel 31 is stopped is set within 190 ms. Thereby, in the present embodiment, the maximum number of moving frames from the symbol at the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated until the reel 31 stops is set to four frames.

  For example, in FIG. 3, when the left stop switch 42 is operated immediately before the “Replay” of No. 01 passes through the middle stage (active line) when the left reel 31 is stopped, the “Replay” of No. 01 (bita stop). ), No. 02 “Cherry” (1 Coma), No. 03 “White BAR” (2 Coma), 04 “JAC-A” (3 Coma), or 05 “Belle” (4 Coma) Either can stop at the middle stage (on the active line).

In the present embodiment, all but the right reel 31 in the MB game is stopped within 190 ms (up to 4 frames) as described above.
On the other hand, in the right reel 31 during the MB game, the time from when the stop switch 42 is operated until the reel 31 is stopped is set within 75 ms. Thus, in the present embodiment, the right reel 31 in the MB game is set to have a maximum number of moving frames from the symbol at the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated until the reel 31 stops.

For example, in FIG. 3, when the right stop switch 42 is operated just before the “01th“ JAC-A ”passes through the middle stage (effective line) when the right reel 31 is stopped, the“ 01th “JAC-A” "(Bit stop)" or No. 02 "bell" (single frame) can be stopped at the middle stage (on the active line).
Then, at the moment when the operation of the stop switch 42 is detected, when any of the symbols within the range of the stop control of the reel 31 is a symbol to be stopped on the effective line, when the stop switch 42 is operated, The reel 31 is controlled to stop (drive control of the motor 32) so that the symbol stops on the effective line.

  That is, if the reel 31 is immediately stopped at the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated at the time of winning the winning combination, if the symbol related to the winning combination does not stop on the active line, the reel 31 is stopped before the reel 31 is stopped. By rotating the reel 31 within the range of the stop control, the reel 31 is controlled to stop so that the symbol related to the winning combination stops on the effective line as much as possible (retraction stop control).

  Conversely, if the reel 31 is stopped immediately at the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated, if the symbol combination corresponding to the winning combination is stopped on the active line, the reel 31 is stopped. In the meantime, the reel 31 is rotated within the range of the stop control of the reel 31 to stop the reel 31 so that the combination of symbols corresponding to the winning combination is not stopped on the effective line (kicking stop control). ).

Furthermore, in a game in which a combination of a plurality of types of symbols can be stopped on the active line, the priority of the combination of symbols to be stopped on the active line is determined in advance, and the drawing priority control for the highest priority symbol is controlled according to a predetermined priority. I do.
In this embodiment, in a game in which a combination of a plurality of types of replays can be stopped, a combination of replays that can be stopped on the active line is determined according to the order in which the stop switch 42 is pressed.
In the game in which a combination of symbols of multiple types of small roles can be stopped, which combination of symbols is prioritized and stopped on the active line, in this embodiment, the order of pressing the stop switch 42 is determined. In addition, it has number priority and number priority.

“Piece priority” means that the combination of symbols with the largest number of payouts is given priority and stopped on the active line among the combinations of symbols for the winning combination. Is controlled so as to be pulled into the effective line with priority.
For example, in FIG. 5, assuming that the small combinations 01 and 03 have been won simultaneously, the combination of symbols with a large number of payouts is “bell”-“bell”-“bell” related to the small combination 01.
Therefore, in the priority of the number, for example, when the left reel 31 is stopped first, the small role is given priority over “black BAR”, “JAC-A”, or “JAC-B” which is the symbol related to the small role 03. Priority is given to stopping “bell”, which is a symbol related to 01, on the active line.

On the other hand, “number priority” means the number of small symbol combinations that can be stopped on the active line when the symbol is stopped on the active line among the combinations of small characters that can be stopped on the active line. Is to stop control so that the symbols constituting the symbol combination are preferentially drawn into the effective line so that the maximum number is obtained.
For example, in FIG. 5, assuming that the small roles 01 and 03 have been won repeatedly, the combination of the small roles that can be stopped on the active line is:
"Bell"-"Bell"-"Bell" (small role 01)
"Black BAR"-"Replay"-"JAC-A" (small part 03)
"JAC-A"-"Replay"-"JAC-A" (small part 03)
"JAC-B"-"Replay"-"JAC-A" (small part 03)
"Black BAR"-"Replay"-"JAC-B" (small role 03)
"JAC-A"-"Replay"-"JAC-B" (small part 03)
"JAC-B"-"Replay"-"JAC-B" (small role 03)
There are seven types.

For example, when the left reel 31 is first stopped, if “bell” is stopped on the active line, the number of symbols that can be stopped on the active line at that time is one. On the other hand, when “black BAR” is stopped at the active line, the number of symbol combinations that can be stopped at the active line at that time is two. Similarly, in the case of “JAC-A” and “JAC-B”, the number is two.
For this reason, in the number priority, when the left reel 31 is first stopped, the symbols “Black BAR” and “JAC−” which are related to the small role 03 are given priority over the “bell” which is related to the small role 01. Either "A" or "JAC-B" is stopped at the active line.

In addition, as in the above example, in any of “Black BAR”, “JAC-A”, or “JAC-B”, the number of symbol combinations that can be stopped on the active line is equal to two. There is no superiority or inferiority, and either may be stopped. In such a case, it may be determined in advance. Further, when any of the symbols can be stopped within the range of the maximum number of moving symbols of the symbol, the symbol that can be stopped is stopped.
The concept of the number priority and the number priority is used for a small combination with a medal payout at the time of winning a prize, and is not applied even when a combination of a plurality of symbols can be stopped at the time of replay winning without a medal payout.

In the stop control of the reel 31, if the stop switch 42 is not operated at an appropriate position of the reel 31 (at an operation timing at which the target symbol can be stopped within the range of the maximum number of moving frames), the target symbol is stopped on the effective line. Inability to (draw to the effective line) is referred to as “PB (pull-in rate) ≠ 1”.
On the other hand, regardless of the position of the reel 31 at the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated (regardless of the operation timing of the stop switch 42), the target symbol can always be stopped (drawn) on the effective line. , Referred to as “PB = 1”.

“PB = 1” indicates that in the combination of symbols of the role, all the reels 31 are in such a case, and only in a specific (partial) reel 31. Have.
As described above, in the present embodiment, since the maximum number of moving frames is “4”, when the target symbols are arranged at intervals of 5 symbols or less, “PB = 1”, which exceeds 5 symbols. When arranged at intervals, “PB ≠ 1”.

  For example, in the left reel 31 of FIG. 3, “PB ≠ 1” is arranged for “black BAR” alone, “PB ≠ 1” is arranged for “JAC-A” alone, and “PB” is arranged for “JAC-B” alone. ≠ 1 ”arrangement. However, any one of “black BAR”, “JAC-A” or “JAC-B” is arranged at intervals of 5 frames (04, 09, 14, and 19). Therefore, no matter what timing the left stop switch 42 is operated, the “black BAR”, “JAC-A” or “JAC-B” is placed on the effective line (middle) within the range of the maximum number of moving frames (4 frames). Can be stopped.

Therefore, as described above, when the small roles 01 and 03 are selected and the number priority control is performed, when the left reel 31 is stopped, “black BAR”, “JAC-A” or “JAC-B” is always set. Since it can be stopped, the number priority control can be performed with “PB = 1” by adding “Black BAR”, “JAC-A”, and “JAC-B”.
In the following description, when the target symbols are arranged at intervals within 5 symbols is referred to as “PB = 1” arrangement, and at intervals exceeding 5 symbols is referred to as “PB ≠ 1” arrangement. Called.

As shown in FIG. 3, in this embodiment, “bell” and “replay” are all arranged in “PB = 1” (interval within 5 symbols) in all reels 31.
Further, in the left reel 31, “PB = 1” is arranged by adding “black BAR”, “JAC-A”, or “JAC-B”.
Furthermore, in the middle reel 31, “PB = 1” is arranged by adding “red 7”, “black BAR”, “white BAR”, or “blank”.
Further, in the middle reel 31, “JAC-A” has a “PB = 1” arrangement.

Further, the reel control means 63c detects the pressing order (operation order) of the stop switch 42.
When the stop switch 42 is operated, a signal indicating that the stop switch 42 has been operated is input to the reel control means 63c. By discriminating this signal, it is detected which stop switch 42 has been operated.

  The stop position determination table is provided for each on / off state of the winning flag, that is, for each lottery result of the combination by the combination lottery means 63b, and for the position of the reel 31 at the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated. The stop position of the reel 31 is determined. In each stop position determination table, for example, when the stop switch 42 is operated at the moment when the symbol 01 (“replay” in the case of the left reel 31) passes through the middle stage (effective line), movement control ( The stop position is determined in advance so that the number of symbols is stopped in the middle stage.

The stop position determination table includes the following.
The MB table is used when only the MB winning flag is turned on, that is, when the MB is won in the game, and within the range of the reel 31 stop control, the combination of symbols corresponding to the MB is stopped on the active line. In addition, the stop position of the reel 31 is determined so that the combination of symbols corresponding to the combination other than MB is not stopped on the effective line.

In this embodiment, the combination of MB symbols is as shown in FIG.
"Black BAR"-"Cherry"-"Replay"
"JAC-A"-"Cherry"-"Replay"
"JAC-B"-"Cherry"-"Replay"
There are three types.
In the left reel 31, “Black BAR”, “JAC-A”, and “JAC-B” are combined to be “PB = 1”, and in the right reel 31, “Replay” is “PB = 1”. It is. However, in the middle reel 31, “cherry” is arranged in “PB ≠ 1”.
Therefore, when the MB is won, the middle reel 31 may be missed.

The replay A table is used when the replay A is won, and the stop position of the reel 31 is determined so that the replay 01 is won and no role other than the replay 01 is won within the range of the stop control of the reel 31. is there.
Here, the combination of symbols of Replay 01 is as shown in FIG.
"Bell"-"Red 7"-"Bell"
"Bell"-"Black BAR"-"Bell"
"Bell"-"White BAR"-"Bell"
"Bell"-"Blank"-"Bell"
There are four types.

In the left and right reels 31, “bell” has a “PB = 1” arrangement (interval within 5 symbols), and in the middle reel 31, “red 7”, “black BAR”, “white BAR” and “ “Blank” is the sum of “PB = 1”.
Therefore, when Replay A is won, Replay 01 wins with “PB = 1”.
When the replay 01 is won, “replay”-“replay”-“replay” is stopped on the upper symbol combination line (invalid line) passing through the upper stage of each reel 31.

The replay B table is used when the replay B is won, and determines the stop position of the reel 31 so that the replay included in the winning combination is stopped on the active line according to the pressing order of the stop switch 42. In the present embodiment, the stop position of the reel 31 is determined so that the replay 01 (PB = 1) is won at the left or right first stop and the replay 06 (PB = 1) is won at the middle first stop. .
When winning Replay 06, “JAC-A / JAC-B”-“JAC-A”-“JAC-A /” is applied to the middle horizontal symbol combination line (effective line) passing through the middle of each reel 31. JAC-B "may stop. Then, the back lamps behind these symbols are blinked to notify the player that a special replay having a combination of symbols different from the normal replay has won.

The replay C table is used when the replay C is won, and the reel 31 is set so that the replay 01 (PB = 1) is awarded at the left or middle first stop and the replay 06 (PB = 1) is awarded at the first right stop. The stop position is determined.
In Replay C, Replay 05 is provided as a control combination (for providing a plurality of condition devices), and is not an actual winning combination.

The Replay D table is used when the Replay D is won, and the Replay 06 (PB = 1) is awarded at the first left stop, the Replay 02 (PB = 1) is awarded at the first middle stop, and the Replay is played at the first right stop. The stop position of the reel 31 is determined so that 01 (PB = 1) is won.
The replay E table is used when the replay E is won. When the first left stop, the replay 06 (PB = 1) is won, and during the middle first stop, the replay 03 (PB = 1) is won, and the right first stop. Sometimes the stop position of the reel 31 is determined so that the replay 01 (PB = 1) is won.

At the time of winning the replay 02, the winning combination is replay, but the symbol combination line (invalid line) in the diagonally downward direction passing through the upper stage of the left reel 31, the middle stage of the middle reel 31, and the lower stage of the right reel 31, “Bell”-“Bell”-“Bell” corresponding to the small role 01 stops.
At the time of winning the replay 03, the winning combination is replay, but the symbol combination line (invalid line) in the diagonally upward direction passing through the lower stage of the left reel 31, the middle stage of the middle reel 31, and the upper stage of the right reel 31, “Bell”-“Bell”-“Bell” corresponding to the small role 01 stops.

In this way, a replay in which “bell”-“bell”-“bell” can be stopped on a straight symbol combination line (invalid line) is referred to as “bell replay”.
At the time of winning the bell replay, a medal payout sound similar to that at the time of winning the small role is output from the speaker 22.
Also, if a medal is automatically inserted immediately after winning a bell replay, the player recognizes that a replay has been won, and at the same time as a bell replay win, a freeze is executed to delay the progress of the game.

In the present embodiment, the freeze is started simultaneously with the winning of the bell replay, and the elapsed time is measured. During the freeze, the replay display LED 73a remains off. If the bet switch 40 is operated before a predetermined time (for example, 20 seconds) elapses, the freeze is released (cancelled) in response to this operation.
When the freeze is cancelled, a medal automatic insertion process based on a bell replay winning is performed and the replay display LED 73a is turned on. At this time, the same insertion sound as when a medal is inserted by operating the bet switch 40 is output from the speaker 22, and the one-sheet insertion display LED 73e, the two-sheet insertion display LED 73f, and the three-sheet insertion display LED 73g are turned on.
Accordingly, the player can be given an impression that three medals have been inserted by operating the bet switch 40, so that the bell replay can be shown as a small role (bell).

In addition, the release of the freeze is not limited to when the bet switch 40 is operated, but can also be performed when the player cares for medals from the medal slot 44.
Here, after the bell replay is won and before the start of the next game (before the start switch 41 is operated), when the player cleans and puts in a medal, the medal is not accepted and returned from the payout slot. Cannot make bell replay look like a small role.
Therefore, when a medal care insertion from the medal insertion slot 44 is detected by the passage sensor 46 at the time of winning the bell replay, the freeze is released, and the medal that has been inserted is received and stored, and based on the bell replay winning. Control to perform automatic insertion of medals.

The replay F table is used when the replay F is won, and determines the stop position of the reel 31 so that the replay 06 (PB = 1) is won regardless of the pressing order of the stop switch 42.
The replay G table is used when the replay G is won, and the reel 31 is set so that the replay 01 (PB = 1) is awarded at the left or middle first stop, and the replay 04 (PB ≠ 1) is awarded at the first right stop. The stop position is determined.

The replay H table is used when the replay H is won, and the replay 01 (PB = 1) is won at the left or middle first stop, and the replay 04 or 05 (both PB ≠ 1) at the first right stop, or the replay 01 The stop position of the reel 31 is determined so that (PB = 1) is won.
At the time of the first right stop at the time of replay H winning, priority is given to stopping the “white BAR” related to the replay 05 to the active line, and when the “white BAR” cannot be stopped to the active line, the replay 01 The reel 31 is controlled so as to stop the “bell” related to the active line.

In addition, when “White BAR” stops on the active line at the first right stop when Replay H is selected, priority is given to stopping “White BAR” related to Replay 05 on the active line at the middle and left stop. When the “white BAR” cannot be stopped on the active line, the reel 31 is controlled to stop so that symbols other than the “white BAR” related to the replay 04 are stopped on the active line.
Furthermore, if “BELL” stops on the active line without stopping “White BAR” on the active line at the first right stop when Replay H is elected, the symbol related to Replay 01 is enabled at the middle and left stop. The reel 31 is controlled so as to stop at the line.

  The small role A1 table is displayed when the small role A1 is won (when the winning flags of the small role 01, the small role 04, the small role 08, the small role 11, the small role 14, the small role 16, and the small role 18 are turned on). Within the range of the stop control of the reel 31, the selected small combination 01, small combination 04, small combination 08, small combination 11, small combination 14, small combination according to the pressing order and operation timing of the stop switch 42. The stop position of the reel 31 is determined so that the 16 or the small combination 18 is won (becomes possible).

  When winning the small role A1, there is a correct answer pressing order and an incorrect answer pressing order, the correct answer pressing order is left middle right, and the other five pressing orders are incorrect answer pressing orders. In the correct push order, the small role 01 can be won with the above-mentioned number priority, and when the incorrect answer order, the small role 04, the small role 08, the small role 11, the small role 14, the small role 16, Alternatively, the small role 18 can be won.

In the small combination A1 table, at the time of the first left stop (push order correct answer), the “bell” (small combination 01) is stopped on the active line with priority on the number of sheets.
At the middle first stop (push order incorrect answer), if the “bell” (small role 08 or 11) is stopped, the maximum number (8) of symbol combinations that can be stopped is given priority. To stop the “bell” at the active line.
At the right first stop (push order incorrect answer), if “Replay” (small role 14, 16, or 18) is stopped, the number of symbol combinations that can be stopped is the maximum number (6). “Replay” is stopped on the active line with the number priority.

From the above, when winning the small role A1,
When left first stop (push order correct answer): "Bell"-"Rotating"-"Rotating"
During first stop (incorrect push order): "Rotating"-"Bell"-"Rotating"
Right first stop (incorrect push order): "Rotating"-"Rotating"-"Replay"
It becomes.

(1) First left stop: "Bell"-"Rotating"-"Rotating"
When the second stop is middle, the correct answer is pushed. In this case, since the small role 01 is won with priority on the number of sheets, the “bell” is also stopped on the active line for the middle reel 31. Furthermore, the “bell” is stopped at the active line at the third stop on the right. As a result, the small role 01 wins and 7 medals are paid out.

  When the second stop on the right, the push order is incorrect. In this case, the number priority is not performed and the number priority is switched. When “JAC-A” or “JAC-B” (small role 04) is stopped at the second right stop, the maximum number (2) of symbol combinations that can be stopped at that time is “JAC” -A "or" JAC-B "is controlled to stop at the active line. Note that “JAC-A” or “JAC-B” of the right reel 31 is “PB = 1” in total, so that it can always be stopped at the effective line.

  At the middle third stop, control is performed so that “red 7” or “black BAR” (small role 04) stops at the active line. When the combination of symbols corresponding to the small combination 04 stops on the active line, the small combination 04 is won and one medal is paid out. Since “red 7” or “black BAR” of the middle reel 31 has the “PB ≠ 1” arrangement, there is a case where it cannot be stopped at the active line (missed).

(2) During the first stop: "Rotating"-"Bell"-"Rotating"
At the time of the second stop on the left, control is performed so that “black BAR”, “JAC-B”, “JAC-A” or “blank” (small part 08 or 11) is stopped on the active line. In the left reel 31, these four symbols are summed up in a “PB = 1” arrangement. Therefore, one of the symbols can always be stopped at the active line.

  When “Black BAR” or “JAC-B” (small role 08) stops at the active line at the second stop on the left, “Red 7” or “JAC-A” (small role 08) at the third stop on the right Control to stop at the effective line. When the combination of symbols corresponding to the small combination 08 stops on the active line, the small combination 08 is won and one medal is paid out. Note that “red 7” or “JAC-A” of the right reel 31 has a “PB ≠ 1” arrangement, and therefore may not be able to be stopped (missed) at the active line.

  When "JAC-A" or "Blank" (small role 11) stops on the active line at the second stop on the left, "JAC-B" or "Blank" (small role 11) on the effective line at the third stop on the right Control to stop. When the combination of symbols corresponding to the small combination 11 stops on the active line, the small combination 11 is won and one medal is paid out. It should be noted that “JAC-B” or “blank” of the right reel 31 has a “PB ≠ 1” arrangement, and therefore may not be able to be stopped (missed) on the effective line.

  At the time of the second stop on the right, control is performed so that “red 7”, “JAC-A”, “JAC-B” or “blank” (small part 08 or 11) is stopped on the active line. In the right reel 31, these four symbols are added together and arranged as “PB = 1”. Therefore, one of the symbols can always be stopped at the active line.

  When “Red 7” or “JAC-A” (small role 08) stops on the active line at the second stop on the right, “Black BAR” or “JAC-B” (small role 08) at the third stop on the left Control to stop at the effective line. When the combination of symbols corresponding to the small combination 08 stops on the active line, the small combination 08 is won and one medal is paid out. Note that “black BAR” or “JAC-B” of the left reel 31 has a “PB ≠ 1” arrangement, and therefore may not be able to be stopped (missed) on the effective line.

  When "JAC-B" or "Blank" (small role 11) stops on the active line at the second stop on the right, "JAC-A" or "Blank" (small role 11) on the effective line at the third stop on the left Control to stop. When the combination of symbols corresponding to the small combination 11 stops on the active line, the small combination 11 is won and one medal is paid out. Since “JAC-A” or “blank” of the left reel 31 has the “PB ≠ 1” arrangement, there is a case where it cannot be stopped (missed) on the effective line.

(3) Right first stop: "Rotating"-"Rotating"-"Replay"
At the time of the second left stop, control is performed so that “red 7” (small role 14), “watermelon” (small role 16), or “cherry” (small role 18) is stopped on the active line. In the left reel 31, these three symbols are added in a “PB = 1” arrangement. Therefore, one of the symbols can always be stopped at the active line.

  At the middle third stop, control is performed so that “red 7” or “black BAR” (small role 14, 16 or 18) is stopped on the effective line. When “Red 7” or “Black BAR” stops on the active line, the small combination 14, 16 or 18 is won, and one medal is paid out. Since “red 7” or “black BAR” of the middle reel 31 has the “PB ≠ 1” arrangement, there is a case where it cannot be stopped at the active line (missed).

  At the time of middle second stop, control is performed so that “red 7” or “black BAR” (small role 14, 16, or 18) is stopped on the active line. As described above, “red 7” or “black BAR” of the middle reel 31 has the “PB ≠ 1” arrangement, and therefore, there is a case where it cannot be stopped (missed) at the effective line.

  When “Red 7” or “Black BAR” (small role 14, 16 or 18) stops on the active line during the second stop, “Red 7” (small role 14), “Watermelon” at the third stop left (Short 16) or “Cherry” (small 18) is controlled to stop at the active line. As described above, in the left reel 31, these three symbols are added together in a “PB = 1” arrangement. Therefore, one of the symbols can always be stopped at the active line. When “Red 7”, “Watermelon” or “Cherry” stops on the active line, the small role 14, 16 or 18 is won and one medal is paid out.

When winning a small role A2, winning a small role B1, winning a small role B2, winning a small role C1, winning a small role C2, winning a small role D1, and winning a small role D2, Similarly, the reel 31 is controlled to stop so that the small combination 01 is won when the correct answer is pressed and the winning combination other than the small role 01 is won or the winning combination is missed when the incorrect answer is determined.
Even when the small combination A1 to D2 is selected, the reel 31 may be controlled to stop so that the small combination 01 may win when the stop switch 42 is operated in a specific pressing order other than the correct pressing order. Good.

  When “Watermelon”-“Red 7”-“Replay” corresponding to the small role 16 stops at the active line, the diagonally upward direction passing through the lower stage of the left reel 31, the middle stage of the middle reel 31, and the upper stage of the right reel 31. There is a case where “red 7”-“red 7”-“red 7” stops on the symbol combination line (invalid line). In this case, the image display device 23 displays an image indicating that the red 7 assortment does not give a privilege.

The small role E1 table is used when the small role E1 is won (when the winning flags of the small role 02, the small role 08, the small role 12, and the small role 20 are turned on) and within the range of the stop control of the reel 31. The stop position of the reel 31 is set so that the selected small combination 02, small combination 08, small combination 12 or small combination 20 is won (can be won) according to the pressing order and operation timing of the stop switch 42. It has established.
When winning the small role E1, the correct answer pressing order is in the middle of the right and left, and the other pressing order is the incorrect answer pressing order. When the correct answer is pressed, the small role 02 can be won with priority on the number, and when the incorrect answer is pressed, the small role 08, the small role 12 or the small role 20 can be awarded with priority on the number.

In the small combination E1 table, at the time of the first right stop (push order correct answer), “Replay” (small combination 02) is stopped on the active line with priority on the number of sheets.
At the time of the first stop on the left (incorrect push order), if the “bell” (small role 20) is stopped, the maximum number of combinations of symbols that can be stopped (4) is reached. Stop "bell" on the active line.
At the middle first stop (push order incorrect answer), if “bell” (small role 08) is stopped, the maximum number (4) of symbol combinations that can be stopped is given. Stop "bell" on the active line.

From the above, when winning the small role E1,
Right first stop (push order correct answer): "Rotating"-"Rotating"-"Replay"
When left first stop (incorrect push order): "Bell"-"Rotating"-"Rotating"
During first stop (incorrect push order): "Rotating"-"Bell"-"Rotating"
It becomes.

(1) Right first stop: "Rotating"-"Rotating"-"Replay"
When the second stop is on the left, the correct answer is given. In this case, since the small role 02 is won with priority on the number of sheets, “replay” is also stopped on the active line for the left reel 31. Furthermore, at the time of the middle third stop, “JAC-A” is stopped at the effective line. As a result, the small role 02 wins and seven medals are paid out.

The “replay” of the left reel 31, “JAC-A” of the middle reel 31, and “replay” of the right reel 31 are all arranged in “PB = 1”. Therefore, in the correct push order (right middle left) at the time of winning the small role E1, the small role 02 wins with “PB = 1”.
In the case of winning the small role 02, “bell”-“bell”-“bell” stops at the horizontal lower symbol combination line (invalid line) passing through the lower portion of each reel 31.

  In the middle second stop, the push order is incorrect. In this case, the number priority is not performed and the number priority is switched. If “Replay” (small role 12) is stopped at the time of the second stop, the maximum number (2) of symbol combinations that can be stopped at that time will be the maximum number (2). To control. Since the “replay” of the middle reel 31 has the “PB = 1” arrangement, it can always be stopped at the effective line.

  At the time of the third stop on the left, control is performed so that “black BAR” or “JAC-B” (small role 12) is stopped on the active line. When the combination of symbols corresponding to the small combination 12 is stopped on the active line, the small combination 12 is won and one medal is paid out. Note that “black BAR” or “JAC-B” of the left reel 31 has a “PB ≠ 1” arrangement, and therefore may not be able to be stopped (missed) on the effective line.

(2) First stop left: "Bell"-"Rotating"-"Rotating"
At the time of the middle second stop, control is performed so that “red 7”, “black BAR”, “white BAR” or “blank” (small part 20) is stopped on the active line. In the middle reel 31, these four symbols are added in a “PB = 1” arrangement. Therefore, one of the symbols can always be stopped at the active line.

At the time of the third stop on the right, the control is performed so that “red 7” (small role 20) is stopped on the active line. When the combination of symbols corresponding to the small combination 20 stops on the active line, the small combination 20 is won and one medal is paid out. Note that “red 7” of the right reel 31 has a “PB ≠ 1” arrangement, and therefore may not be able to be stopped (missed) on the active line.
Even when the pressing order is left and right, the reel 31 is controlled to stop as in the case where the pressing order is left middle and right.

(3) During the first stop: “Rotating”-“Bell”-“Rotating”
At the time of the second stop on the left, control is performed so that “black BAR” or “JAC-B” (small role 08) is stopped on the active line. In the left reel 31, since these symbols are arranged in “PB ≠ 1”, there is a case where the symbols cannot be stopped (missed) on the active line.

At the time of the third stop on the right, “red 7” or “JAC-A” (small role 08) is controlled to stop at the active line. When the combination of symbols corresponding to the small combination 08 stops on the active line, the small combination 08 is won and one medal is paid out. Note that “red 7” or “JAC-A” of the right reel 31 has a “PB ≠ 1” arrangement, and therefore may not be able to be stopped (missed) at the active line.
Even when the pressing order is middle right and left, the reel 31 is stopped and controlled in the same manner as when the pressing order is middle right and left.

  Also, in the case of the small role E2, the small role F1, the small role F2, and the small role F2, the small role 02 is awarded when the push order is correct, and the small role is determined when the push order is incorrect. The reel 31 is stopped and controlled so that a winning combination other than 02 is won or a combination is missed.

The small role G1 table is used when the small role G1 is won (when the winning flags of the small role 03, the small role 08, the small role 09, the small role 20, and the small role 21 are turned on), and the reel 31 is stopped. In this range, the reel 31 is set so that the selected small combination 03, small combination 08, small combination 20, or small combination 21 is won (becomes winning) in accordance with the pressing order and operation timing of the stop switch 42. The stop position is determined. Note that the small combination 09 is a control combination and not an actual winning combination.
When winning the small role G1, the correct answer pressing order is the first stop on the right, and the other pressing orders are incorrect answer pressing orders. When the correct answer is pressed, the small role 03 can be won with priority on the number of copies, and when the incorrect answer is pressed, the small role 08, the small role 20 or the small role 21 can be awarded with priority on the number.

In the small combination G1 table, at the time of the first stop on the right (push order correct answer), “JAC-A” or “JAC-B” (small combination 03) is stopped on the active line with priority on the number of sheets. In the right reel 31, these symbols are added in a “PB = 1” arrangement. Therefore, one of the symbols can always be stopped at the active line.
When the first stop on the left (incorrect push order), if the “bell” (small role 20 or 21) is stopped, the maximum number (8) of symbol combinations that can be stopped is given priority. To stop the “bell” at the active line.
At the middle first stop (push order incorrect answer), if “bell” (small role 08) is stopped, the maximum number (4) of symbol combinations that can be stopped is given. Stop "bell" on the active line.

From the above, when winning the small role G1,
Right first stop (push order correct answer): "Rotating"-"Rotating"-"JAC-A / JAC-B"
When left first stop (incorrect push order): "Bell"-"Rotating"-"Rotating"
During first stop (incorrect push order): "Rotating"-"Bell"-"Rotating"
It becomes.

(1) Right first stop: "Rotating"-"Rotating"-"JAC-A / JAC-B"
“Black BAR”, “JAC-A” or “JAC-B” is stopped at the effective line at the second left stop, and “Replay” is stopped at the effective line at the middle third stop. Even when the pushing order is right middle left, the reel 31 is stopped and controlled in the same manner as when the pushing order is right middle left. As a result, the small role 03 wins and three medals are paid out.

In addition, “black BAR”, “JAC-A” or “JAC-B” of the left reel 31 is “PB = 1” in total, and “replay” of the middle reel 31 is “PB = 1”. . Therefore, in the correct answer in the pushing order at the time of winning the small role G1 (right first stop), the small role 03 wins with “PB = 1”.
When winning the small role 03, “bell”-“bell”-“bell” stops at the upper horizontal symbol combination line (invalid line) passing through the upper portion of each reel 31.

(2) First stop left: "Bell"-"Rotating"-"Rotating"
At the time of middle second stop, control is performed so that “red 7”, “black BAR”, “white BAR” or “blank” (small role 20 or 21) is stopped on the active line. In the middle reel 31, these four symbols are added in a “PB = 1” arrangement. Therefore, one of the symbols can always be stopped at the active line.

At the time of the third stop on the right, control is performed so that “red 7” (small role 20) or “black BAR” (small role 21) is stopped on the active line. When “Red 7” stops on the active line, the small role 20 is won, and one medal is paid out. Further, when “Black BAR” stops on the active line, the small role 21 is won and one medal is paid out. Note that “red 7” or “black BAR” on the right reel 31 has a “PB ≠ 1” arrangement, and thus may not be able to be stopped (lost) on the effective line.
Even when the pressing order is left and right, the reel 31 is controlled to stop as in the case where the pressing order is left middle and right.

(3) During the first stop: “Rotating”-“Bell”-“Rotating”
At the time of the second stop on the left, control is performed so that “black BAR” or “JAC-B” (small role 08) is stopped on the active line. In the left reel 31, since these symbols are arranged in “PB ≠ 1”, there is a case where the symbols cannot be stopped (missed) on the active line.

At the time of the third stop on the right, “red 7” or “JAC-A” (small role 08) is controlled to stop at the active line. When the combination of symbols corresponding to the small combination 08 stops on the active line, the small combination 08 is won and one medal is paid out. Note that “red 7” or “JAC-A” of the right reel 31 has a “PB ≠ 1” arrangement, and therefore may not be able to be stopped (missed) at the active line.
Even when the pressing order is middle right and left, the reel 31 is stopped and controlled in the same manner as when the pressing order is middle right and left.

  Also, in the case of winning the small role G2, as in the case of winning the small role G1, the small role 03 is won in the correct answer in the pushing order, and the winning role other than the small role 03 is won in the incorrect answer in the pushing order. The reel 31 is controlled to stop so as to be missed.

  The small role H1 table is used when winning the small role H1 and determines the stop position of the reel 31 so that the small role 24 is won within the range of stop control of the reel 31 regardless of the pressing order of the stop switch 42. Yes. As shown in FIG. 6, there are five combinations of symbols of the small role 24. Since the symbol related to the small role 24 has the “PB ≠ 1” arrangement in any of the reels 31, there is a case where the symbol cannot be stopped (missed) on the active line.

When “watermelon”-“watermelon”-“watermelon” stops on the active line, the back lamp behind these “watermelons” blinks to notify the player that the small role has won.
When “black BAR”-“watermelon”-“red 7” is stopped on the active line, the pattern in the diagonally upward direction passing through the lower stage of the left reel 31, the middle stage of the middle reel 31, and the upper stage of the right reel 31. "Watermelon"-"Watermelon"-"Watermelon" stops at the combination line (invalid line).

  When "Black BAR"-"Watermelon"-"Black BAR" stops on the active line, "Blank"-"Watermelon"-"Red 7" stops, "Blank"-"Watermelon"-"Black BAR" When “Black BAR”-“Watermelon”-“Red 7” stops, “Watermelon”-“Watermelon”- “Watermelon” stops.

  The small role H2 table is used when winning the small role H2, and, like the small role H1, the small role 24 is awarded within the range of stop control of the reel 31 regardless of the pressing order of the stop switch 42. The stop position of the reel 31 is determined.

  The small role I1 table is used when winning the small role I1, and the stop position of the reel 31 is set so that the small role 25 or 26 is won within the range of stop control of the reel 31 regardless of the pressing order of the stop switch 42. It has established. As shown in FIG. 7, there are 8 combinations of symbols corresponding to the small role 25 and 24 combinations of symbols corresponding to the small role 26.

In addition, the symbols related to the small role 25 are arranged “PB = 1” alone or in total in any of the reels 31. Similarly to the symbol related to the small role 25, the symbol related to the small role 26 is arranged “PB = 1” alone or in total on any reel 31. Therefore, when winning the small combination I1, the small combination 25 or 26 is always won.
When winning the small role 25 or 26, the “cherry” can be stopped at the upper or lower stage of the left reel 31.

  The small role I2 table is used when winning the small role I2, and the stop position of the reel 31 is set so that the small role 18 or 19 is awarded within the range of stop control of the reel 31 regardless of the pressing order of the stop switch 42. It has established. As shown in FIG. 6, there are two combinations of symbols corresponding to the small roles 18 and 19 respectively.

Further, since “cherry” on the left reel 31 has the “PB ≠ 1” arrangement, there is a case where it cannot be stopped (missed) at the active line.
Note that “cherry” stops in the middle of the left reel 31 when the small combination 18 or 19 is won. Then, the back lamp behind “Cherry” is flashed to inform the player that the small role has won.

The small role J1 table is used when the small role J1 is selected, and the stop position of the reel 31 is determined so that the small role 27 is awarded within the range of stop control of the reel 31 regardless of the pressing order of the stop switch 42. Yes.

The small role J3 table is used when winning the small role J3, and the stop position of the reel 31 is set so that the small role 29 or 31 is awarded within the range of stop control of the reel 31 regardless of the pressing order of the stop switch 42. It has established.
The non-winning table is used in a game in which no winning combination is won, and the stop position of the reel 31 is determined so that a combination of symbols corresponding to any winning combination does not stop on the active line.

Next, stop control of the reel 31 during the MB game will be described.
As shown in FIG. 9, during the MB game, the small combinations A1 to J3 are drawn by the combination lottery means 63b.
In addition, during the MB game, the winning flags of all the small combinations (small combinations 01 to 31) are turned on regardless of the combination lottery result by the combination lottery means 63b. This is the same state as when all the small roles are won.

Furthermore, in the MB game, regardless of the pressing order of the stop switch 42, the left and middle reels 31 have stop control within 190 ms (the maximum number of transition frames is 4 frames), and the right reel 31 has stop control within 75 ms (maximum). The number of transfer frames is 1 frame).
During MB games, when the “bell” related to the small role 01 stops on the active line at the time of the first stop on the right, the “bell” related to the small role 01 stops on the active line at the left and middle stops. The reel 31 is controlled to stop. As a result, the small role 01 is won, and two medals are paid out (the payout of the small role 01 becomes 2 during the MB game).

  On the other hand, if the “bell” related to the small role 01 does not stop on the active line at the time of the first stop on the right, the “bell” related to the small role 31 stops on the active line when stopped on the left, The reel 31 is controlled to stop so that the “watermelon” or “cherry” (totally arranged “PB = 1”) related to the combination 31 is stopped on the effective line. As a result, the small role 31 is won and two medals are paid out.

In addition, in both the small roles 01 and 31, the symbol of the left reel 31 is “bell”. For this reason, during the MB game, the reel 31 is controlled to stop so that the “bell” is stopped at the active line at the first left stop.
When the “bell” related to the small role 01 stops on the active line at the second right stop, the reel 31 is controlled to stop so that the “bell” related to the small role 01 stops on the effective line at the middle third stop. To do. As a result, the small role 01 is won.
On the other hand, if the “bell” related to the small role 01 does not stop on the active line at the second stop on the right, the “watermelon” or “cherry” related to the small role 31 stops on the active line at the middle third stop The reel 31 is controlled to be stopped. As a result, the small role 31 is won.

In addition, during the MB game, the right reel 31 is controlled to stop within 75 ms. Therefore, if the “bell” related to the small role 01 is stopped on the active line during the middle first stop, Has the potential to miss the "bell".
For this reason, the “watermelon” or “cherry” related to the small role 31 is stopped at the active line during the first stop during the MB game, the “bell” is stopped at the active line at the left stop, and an arbitrary one is stopped at the right stop. The reel 31 is controlled to stop so that the symbol is stopped on the effective line. As a result, even if any symbol stops on the active line at the time of the right stop, the small combination 31 can always be won.

  In FIG. 1, the winning determination means 63d of the main CPU 63 determines whether or not the combination of symbols corresponding to any combination has stopped on the active line when all the reels 31 are stopped. The winning determination means 63d determines the symbol on the effective line by detecting the number of steps of the motor 32 after the reel sensor 39 detects the index, for example. However, the winning determination means 63d can determine the stop symbol regardless of whether or not the reel 31 is stopped when the stop switch 42 is operated and the stop position of the reel 31 is determined.

  When all the reels 31 are stopped, the payout means 63e determines that the combination of symbols corresponding to any of the winning combinations has stopped on the active line, and when the winning combination of the winning combination is determined according to the winning combination. Pay out the number of medals to the player. The payout is added as the stored number, or when the stored number exceeds “50”, the medal is actually paid out from the payout opening. When actually paying out medals, the hopper motor 36 is driven and controlled to pay out a predetermined number of medals. At the time of paying out medals, the payout medals are detected by the payout sensors 37a and 37b, and it is checked whether or not they have been paid out correctly.

  As described above, at the start of the game, the player operates the bet switch 40 to insert a previously stored medal, or inserts a medal from the medal insertion slot 44 and operates the start switch 41 (ON). ) When the start switch 41 is operated, the reel control means 63c controls to drive all the motors 32 and rotate all the reels 31. As the reel 31 is rotated by the motor 32 in this manner, the symbols on the reel 31 are moved and displayed in the display window 13 from the top to the bottom at a predetermined speed. When the start switch 41 is operated, the part lottery means 63b performs a part lottery.

Then, the player presses the stop switch 42 to stop the rotation of the reel 31 corresponding to the stop switch 42 (for example, the left reel 31 corresponding to the left stop switch 42). When the stop switch 42 is operated, the reel control means 63c drives and controls the motor 32 corresponding to the stop switch 42, and performs stop control of the reel 31 related to the motor 32.
Furthermore, the game result of the game is displayed by the combination of symbols when all the reels 31 are stopped. Then, when the combination of symbols corresponding to any of the winning combinations stops on the active line (the winning of the winning combination), a medal corresponding to the winning winning combination is performed.

As shown in FIG. 1, the main CPU 63 of the main control board 60 includes a game state control means 63f and an internal state control means 63g.
In the present embodiment, the game state on the main control board 60 side includes a normal game and a special game, and the normal game includes a non-RT (non-inside) and an RT (inside MB), and a special game As an MB game.

Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the main control board 60 side has a plurality of internal states separately from the gaming state. Specifically, the internal states are internal state A (normal), internal state B (preparing for pushing order), internal state C (pushing order game), internal state D (high accuracy), internal state E (precursor) ), Internal state F (AT), internal state G (in preparation for addition), internal state H (in addition special zone), internal state I (in preparation for continuous battle), and internal state J (continuation battle) Yes.
Furthermore, in this embodiment, it has a non-notification state (non-AT) and a notification state (AT) as the production state on the sub-control board 80 side.

The gaming state control unit 63f controls the transition of the gaming state, and the internal state control unit 63g controls the transition of the internal state independently of the gaming state transition control by the gaming state control unit 63f. In particular, in the present embodiment, the game state is controlled to be shifted between the internal states A to J while staying in the RT (inside the MB).
Further, the effect output control means 83a on the sub control board 80 side controls the transition of the effect state. In particular, in this embodiment, when the main control board 60 side is in the internal state A, B, C, D, or E, the effect state is set to the non-notification state (non-AT), and the main control board 60 side is set to the internal states F, G. , H, I, or J, the effect state is set to the notification state (AT).

  In the present embodiment, the internal state control means 63g on the main control board 60 side determines whether or not to execute AT (AT lottery), AT start, and the difference number of medals during AT (net increase number). Control (manage) addition, AT continuation, and AT termination. For this reason, the internal state control means 63g is also referred to as “AT control means”.

Here, “RT” refers to a gaming state in which the winning probability of replay is higher than non-RT.
A gaming state in which the winning probability of replay is different from non-RT may be referred to as RT. In addition, for “replay winning probabilities differ”, the combined value of the winning probabilities for multiple types of replays is the same, but the method for distributing the winning probabilities for each replay is different, or the types of replays to be drawn are different. Including cases. Further, the winning probability of replay in non-RT may be set higher than RT. Thus, RT means a game in which the winning probability of replay is set higher than non-RT in a narrow sense, and a game in which the winning probability of replay is different from non-RT in a broad sense.

  In addition, “AT” means a combination lottery result (including both single and duplicate) that is advantageous / disadvantageous to the player in accordance with the operation (pushing order and / or operation timing) of the stop switch 42. This means an effect state in which operation information of the stop switch 42 that is most advantageous to the player is notified.

In this embodiment, during the AT, when the small roles A1 to D2 are won, the push order (correct answer pressing order) in which the small role 01 wins and 7 sheets are paid out is notified, and when the small roles E1 to F2 are selected, the small role When 02 wins, 7 pushes out (the correct push order) is notified, and when the small role G1-G2 is won, the push order (Positive push order) where the small role 03 wins and 3 pays out is notified. To do. On the other hand, during non-AT, the correct pressing order is not notified. Thus, during the AT, if the player operates the stop switch 42 according to the notification, the player can win the small roles 01 to 03 when winning the small roles A1 to G2 (push order bell).
If AT is executed during RT, RT and AT (ART) are set.

FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating the transition of the gaming state, and FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating the transition of the internal state. Hereinafter, the game state transition control by the game state control means 63f and the internal state transition control by the internal state control means 63g will be described with reference to FIGS.
The gaming state control means 63f shifts the gaming state based on the winning of the special combination (MB), the winning of the special combination (MB), and the number of medals paid out during the special game (MB game).

First, the gaming state control means 63f performs MB lottery in non-RT (non-inside).
Then, when the MB is won in non-RT (non-inside) and the winning MB is not won in the game, the game state control means 63f changes the game state to RT (inside MB) from the next game. Transition. The transition from non-RT (non-inside) to RT (inside MB) is determined when MB is won, when all reels 31 are stopped in a game won for MB, or when MB is not won for a game won for MB. Sometimes you can go.
Further, when the MB is won in non-RT (non-inside) and the winning MB wins in the game, the game state control means 63f shifts the game state from the next game to the MB game. That is, a transition is made from non-RT (non-inside) to MB gaming without going through RT (inside MB).

When transitioning to RT (inside the MB), the gaming state control means 63f continues RT (inside the MB) until the MB wins. When the MB is won in RT (inside the MB), the gaming state control means 63f shifts the gaming state from the next game to the MB game.
In the MB game, the left and middle reels 31 are controlled to stop within 190 ms (maximum moving frame number is 4 frames), and the left reel 31 is controlled to stop within 75 ms (maximum moving frame number is one frame).

Further, during the MB game, the winning flags of all the small combinations are turned on every game, which is equivalent to the state where all the small combinations are won.
During the MB game, every game, small role 01 or 31 (two payouts during MB game) wins.
Here, in this embodiment, during the MB game, two medals are inserted, but every game, small role 01 or 31 wins, and two medals are paid out. For this reason, during an MB game, every game will be paid out with two coins inserted, and the game state will be maintained (the medal will not increase or decrease).

Further, the game state control means 63f continues the MB game until the MB game end condition is satisfied.
In the present embodiment, the MB game end condition is set such that the number of medals paid out during the MB game is equal to or greater than a predetermined number (46).
For this reason, the game state control means 63f counts the number of medals paid out during the MB game, and when the count value becomes 46 or more, the game state control means 63f determines that the MB game end condition is satisfied in the game, ends the MB game, From the next game, the game state is changed to non-RT (non-inside).

In this embodiment, in RT (inside the MB), when a replay is won, priority is given to stopping the combination of symbols corresponding to the replay to the active line rather than MB, and when winning a small role, Priority is given to stopping the combination of symbols corresponding to the small combination on the active line rather than MB.
In the present embodiment, in RT (inside the MB), the probability of not winning in the winning lottery means 63b is set to “1/65536”, and it is extremely rare that the winning is made.
Furthermore, when the winning lottery means 63b is not won during RT (inside the MB), the MB that has won the winning can be won, but as shown in FIG. 5, the combination of symbols corresponding to the MB is “black”. “BAR / JAC-A / JAC-B” − “Cherry” − “Replay” is set, and “Cherry” on the middle reel 31 is missed.

For this reason, in this embodiment, it is extremely rare that an MB wins in RT (inside the MB), and it is not possible to win the MB in a non-RT (inside no inside) and win the MB in the game. After the transition to RT (inside the MB), the user stays in RT (inside the MB) substantially.
As described above, the gaming state control means 63f determines whether or not the gaming state transition condition is satisfied in each gaming state, and when it is determined that the gaming state transition condition is satisfied, the predetermined gaming state is determined. To migrate.

The internal state control means 63g is a lottery (AT lottery, transition lottery, extra lottery, continuous lottery) other than the winning of a winning combination, winning a winning combination, winning a lottery, number of games, difference number of medals (net increase), etc. Based on the above, the transition of the internal state is controlled.
Here, the internal state A (normal) is an internal state that stays at a normal time.
The internal state B (preparing for pushing order) is an internal state through which the internal state A shifts to the internal state C. In the internal state B, an effect that makes the player expect to shift to the internal state C is output.

Furthermore, in the internal state C (push order hit game), when the small roles A1 to G2 (push order bell) are won, a push hit game is executed in which the player presses the correct push order and the game is played when the correct push order is applied. It is an internal state which gives a privilege to a person.
Furthermore, the internal state D (high probability) is an internal state in which the winning probability of the AT lottery is higher than the internal state A.
The internal state E (a precursor) is an internal state through which the internal state A to D is shifted to the internal state F. In the internal state E, an effect that causes the player to expect to shift to the internal state F is output.

Furthermore, the internal state F (AT) is an internal state in which AT is executed on the sub-control board 80 side.
Furthermore, the internal state G (preparing for addition) is an internal state through which the internal state F transitions to the internal state H. In the internal state G, an effect that causes the player to expect to shift to the internal state H is output.
Further, the internal state H (addition specialization zone) is an internal state in which the difference number (pure increase number) of medals, which is the end condition of the internal state F (AT), is added.

Furthermore, the internal state I (in preparation for continuing battle) is an internal state through which the internal state F transitions to the internal state J. The internal state I is stayed between the time when the end condition of the internal state F is satisfied and the time when the start condition of the internal state J is satisfied.
Furthermore, the internal state J (continuous battle) is an internal state that outputs a continuous effect according to the result of the continuous lottery over a plurality of games (for example, 8 games). When the continuous lottery is won, an effect that the main character wins in the battle is output last, and when the continuous lottery is not won, the effect that the main character is defeated in the battle is output last.

The internal state control means 63g is set to the internal state A (normal) at the normal time.
In the internal state A, the internal state control means 63g performs an AT lottery to determine whether or not to execute AT when a rare small combination (small combination H1 to J3) is won. When the AT lottery is won, the internal state control means 63g ends the internal state A in the game and shifts from the next game to the internal state E (a precursor).

In addition, when the rare role is won in the internal state A and is not won in the AT lottery, the internal state control means 63g ends the internal state A in the game and shifts to the internal state D from the next game. Let
At the time of transition to the internal state D (high probability), an initial value (for example, “34”) of the number of games staying in the internal state D is set in the high probability counter. In the internal state D, the winning probability of the AT lottery is higher than that in the internal state A. Further, every time one game is consumed in the internal state D, 1 is subtracted from the count value of the high-accuracy counter. Then, when the count value of the high-accuracy counter becomes “0”, the internal state control means 63g ends the internal state D, and shifts (returns) from the next game to the internal state A.

In addition, when the rare small role is won in the internal state D, and the AT lottery is won, the internal state control means 63g ends the internal state D in the game and shifts from the next game to the internal state E (a precursor). Let
On the other hand, when the rare small role is won in the internal state D and is not won in the AT lottery, the internal state control means 63g again sets the initial value (“34”) of the number of games in the high-accuracy counter. set.

Here, in the internal state A (normal), the winning probability of the AT lottery is “2%” when winning the small role H1 (weak watermelon), “15%” when winning the small role H2 (strong watermelon), and the small role I1 ( “Kaku Cherry” is set to “1%” at the time of winning, “25%” at the time of winning the small role I2 (middle tier cherry), and “1%” at the time of winning the small roles J1 to J3 (chance).
On the other hand, in the internal state D (high accuracy), the winning probability of the AT lottery is “20%” when winning the small role H1, “50%” when winning the small role H2, and “10%” when winning the small role I1. It is set to “100%” when winning the small role I2 and “10%” when winning the small roles J1 to J3.

In addition, when the replays B to F are won in the internal state A or D and the replay 06 wins, the internal state control unit 63g determines whether or not to shift to the internal state C (push order game). Make a lottery. The winning probability of the transfer lottery is set to “20%”.
And when winning by transfer lottery, the internal state control means 63g complete | finishes the internal state A or D by the said game, and makes it transfer to the internal state B from the next game.
On the other hand, when the winning lottery is not won, the internal state control means 63g maintains the internal state (internal state A or D) in the game.

  When transitioning to the internal state B (preparing for pushing order), the internal state control means 63g continues the internal state B until a predetermined number of games (for example, 5 games) are consumed. Further, in the internal state B, an effect that causes the player to expect to shift to the internal state C (pressing order game) is output. When the predetermined number of games has been consumed in the internal state B, the internal state control means 63g ends the internal state B and shifts from the next game to the internal state C.

  In the internal state B, an AT lottery is performed when a rare small role is won. Note that the winning probability of the AT lottery at the time of the rare small combination winning in the internal state B is set to be the same as that in the internal state D. When the AT lottery is won in the internal state B, the internal state control means 63g ends the internal state B in the game and shifts from the next game to the internal state E (a precursor).

  When transitioning to the internal state C (push order game), the internal state control means 63g continues the internal state C until a predetermined number of games (for example, 10 games) are consumed. In the internal state C, a pushing order game is executed. In this push order hitting game, when the small role A1 to G2 (push order bell) is won, the correct answer push order (the push order in which the small role 01, 02 or 03 wins) is applied to the player, and when the replay B to E is won. In this case, the player is placed in the pushing order in which Replay 06 wins. And if a player applies the correct answer pushing order or the pushing order which Replay 06 wins, a privilege will be provided with respect to a player.

For example, at the time of winning the small role A1 in the internal state C (in the correct pressing order: left middle right) at a predetermined time (for example, when the start switch 41 is operated) until the stop switch 42 can be operated. Then, an image such as “??? X” is displayed on the image display device 23. This prevents the stop switch 42 from being operated in the “first right stop”. In this case, the player places the correct answer pressing order by four choices of “left middle right”, “left / right middle”, “middle right / left”, or “middle right / left”.
Further, when the replay B is won in the internal state C (the pressing order in which the replay 06 wins: middle first stop), the image display device 23 is given a predetermined time until the operation of the stop switch 42 becomes acceptable. "????" is displayed. This prevents the stop switch 42 from being operated in the “first left stop”. In this case, the player places the pressing order in which Replay 06 wins with two choices of “medium first stop” or “right first stop”.

Here, the display of “?? x” and “x ??” is information regarding the pressing order of the stop switch 42, but is information that cannot be identified until the correct answer pressing order or the pressing order in which the replay 06 wins.
In the game in which the push order bell is won in the internal state C, after the third stop (after the third stop switch 42 is operated), an image indicating the correct push order is displayed on the image display device 23. Similarly, for the games won in replays B to E in the internal state C, after the third stop, an image indicating the pressing order in which the replay 06 wins is displayed on the image display device 23.
Thereby, the player is informed of which push order is the correct push order and which push order is the push order in which the replay 06 wins.

Further, when the player places a correct answer in the pushing order of the correct combination A1 to G2 (push order bell) in the internal state C and the small combination 01 to 03 wins, the internal state control means 63g is given as a privilege for the player. AT lottery. The AT lottery is performed in the same manner when the player wins the replay 06 in the internal state C when the replays B to E are won. In addition, the winning probability of the AT lottery at the time of the correct pushing order is set to “30%”.
In the internal state C, an AT lottery is also performed when a rare small role is won. Note that the winning probability of the AT lottery at the time of the rare small combination winning in the internal state C is set to be the same as the internal state D.

When the AT lottery is won in the internal state C, the internal state control means 63g ends the internal state C in the game and shifts from the next game to the internal state E (a precursor).
On the other hand, when the AT lottery is not won, the internal state control means 63g maintains the internal state C.
In addition, when the predetermined number of games has been consumed without winning the AT lottery in the internal state C, the internal state control means 63g ends the internal state C and shifts from the next game to the internal state A (normal).

At the time of transition to the internal state E (precursor), the internal state control means 63g determines the number of games (number of precursor games) that stay in the internal state E by lottery, and sets the determined number of precursor games to the precursor counter. For the number of precursor games, one of “34”, “27”, “17”, and “7” is determined by lottery. The selection probability of “34” is set to “40%”, the selection probability of “27” is set to “30%”, the selection probability of “17” is set to “20%”, and the selection probability of “7” is set to “10%”. ing.
In the internal state E, an effect that causes the player to expect to shift to the internal state F (AT) is output. Each time one game is consumed in the internal state E, the count value of the precursor counter is decremented by one. When the count value of the precursor counter becomes “0”, the internal state control means 63g ends the internal state E and shifts to the internal state F from the next game.

Also, the AT continuation rate is determined by lottery at the moment when the player releases his / her hand from the third stop switch 42 (the last operated stop switch 42) in the last game in the internal state E.
The continuation rate means the winning probability of the continuous lottery for determining whether or not to continue the AT, and is any one of “66%”, “79%”, “84%” or “88%”. One is decided by lottery. The selection probability of the continuation rate “66%” is “40%”, the selection probability of the continuation rate “79%” is “30%”, the continuation rate “84%” is the selection probability “20%”, and the continuation rate “88%” The selection probability of “10” is set to “10%”.

At the time of transition to the internal state F (AT), the internal state control means 63g sets the initial value (for example, “100”) of the difference number of medals in the internal state F to the difference number counter. The difference number means a number obtained by subtracting the inserted number from the number of medals paid out (net increase number).
In the internal state F, on the side of the sub control board 80, when the small roles A1 to D2 are selected, the push order in which the small role 01 wins (correct answer pressing order) is notified, and when the small roles E1 to F2 are selected, the small role 02 is pressed. The order (correct answer pressing order) is notified, and the pressing order (correct answer pressing order) in which the small role 03 wins is notified when the small roles G1 to G2 are won.

Further, when a rare small combination (small combinations H1 to J3) is won in the internal state F, the internal state control means 63g performs an extra lottery to determine whether or not to add the difference number of medals in the internal state F. . When the winning lottery is won, the internal state control means 63g shifts from the next game to the internal state G (in preparation for adding).
In the internal state G (preparing for addition), an effect that causes the player to expect to move to the internal state H (addition-specific zone) is output. Also, in the internal state G, waiting for the replay H to be won, and when the replay H is won, on the sub-control board 80 side, a notification such as “Aim at the white BAR by pressing backward!” The player is pushed to operate each stop switch 42 at an operation timing at which the “white BAR” of each reel 31 can be stopped on the active line in the order of pressing the middle right and left.

Then, in the internal state G, when the replay H is won, when “white BAR”-“white BAR”-“white BAR” stops at the active line and the replay 05 wins, the internal state control means 63g causes the internal state G in the game. , And the next game is shifted to the internal state H (additional special zone).
Further, since the symbol related to the replay 05 is “PB ≠ 1”, there is a case where the replay 05 is missed. When the replay 05 is missed, the reel 31 is controlled to stop so that the replay 04 or 01 wins. When the replay 04 or 01 wins, the internal state control means 63g ends the internal state G in the game and shifts to the internal state H from the next game, as in the case where the replay 05 wins.
Thus, the internal state G continues until the replay H is won and any of the replays 05, 04, or 01 wins, so the number of games staying in the internal state G is not constant.

At the time of transition to the internal state H (additional special zone), the internal state control means 63g determines the number of games (the number of stays) staying in the internal state H by lottery and sets the determined number of stays in the stay number counter.
As for the number of stays, one of “7”, “14”, and “21” is determined by lottery. The selection probability of “7” is set to “60%”, the selection probability of “14” is set to “30%”, and the selection probability of “21” is set to “10%”.

In the internal state H, every time one of the winning combinations is won by the winning lottery means 63b, the number to be added to the difference number of medals in the internal state F (AT) is added according to the type of the winning combination. It is determined by lottery, and the determined additional number is added to the count value of the difference sheet counter.
For example, when the replays A to H are won, “10” (selection probability 70%) or “20” (selection probability 30%) is determined as the additional number. Similarly, as the number of extras, “20” (selection probability 70%) or “30” (selection probability 30%) is determined at the time of winning the small roles A1 to G2 (push order bell), and the small roles H1 to H2 (watermelon) “30” (selection probability 70%) or “50” (selection probability 30%) is determined at the time of winning, and “50” (selection probability 70%) or “100” (selected) at the time of winning the small roles I1 to I2 (cherry) The probability 30%) is determined, and “10” (selection probability 70%) or “20” (selection probability 30%) is determined when winning the small roles J1 to J3.

Further, the count value of the stay counter is decremented by 1 every time one game is consumed in the internal state H (addition specialization zone). When the count value of the stay counter reaches “0”, the internal state control means 63g ends the internal state H, and shifts (returns) from the next game to the internal state F (AT).
In the internal state F (AT), each time the small combination 01 to 03 wins when winning the small combination A1 to G2 (push order bell), the difference number in the game is subtracted from the difference number counter. Then, when the count value of the difference number counter becomes “0” or less, the internal state control means 63g ends the internal state F and shifts from the next game to the internal state I (in preparation for continuous battle).

In the internal state I (in preparation for continuous battle), it waits for winning one of the replays B to F, and when winning one of the replays B to E, the replay 06 wins on the sub control board 80 side. Announces the pressing order. When the replay F is won, since the replay 06 wins regardless of the pressing order, the pressing order is not notified on the sub-control board 80 side.
When the replay 06 is won in the internal state I, the internal state control means 63g ends the internal state I in the game and shifts to the internal state J (continuation battle) from the next game.
Thus, since the internal state I continues until the replay 06 wins, the number of games staying in the internal state I is not constant.

In the internal state I, a continuous lottery for determining whether or not to continue the AT is performed at the moment when the player releases the hand from the third stop switch 42 at the time of replay 06 winning. The winning probability (continuation rate) of the continuous lottery is determined at the time of transition from the internal state E (precursor) to the internal state F (AT), and the transition from the internal state I to the internal state J is performed at this continuation rate. Occasionally draw lots continuously.
If it transfers to the internal state J (continuation battle), the internal state control means 63g will continue the internal state J until the predetermined number of games (for example, 8 games) are consumed.

In the internal state J, a continuous effect corresponding to the result of the continuous lottery is output over a plurality of games (for example, 8 games). Further, when the continuous lottery is won, an effect that the main character wins in the battle is output last, and when the continuous lottery is not won, the effect that the main character is defeated in the battle is output last.
Furthermore, when the predetermined number of games is consumed in the internal state J, the internal state control means 63g ends the internal state J. At the time of winning the continuous lottery, the next game is shifted to the internal state F (AT) (AT is continued), and the initial value (“100”) of the difference number is set again in the difference number counter. On the other hand, when the continuous lottery is not won, the next game is shifted to the internal state A (normal) (the AT is terminated).

As shown in FIG. 1, the main CPU 63 of the main control board 60 includes main-side notification means 63h and command control means 63i, and the sub-CPU 83 of the sub-control board 80 includes effect output control means 83a.
The main-side notification means 63h notifies operation information of the stop switch 42 using a peripheral device electrically connected to the main control board 60.

The operation information of the stop switch 42 transmitted from the main control board 60 to the sub control board 80 is also referred to as “instruction information”.

Information relating to the gaming state includes information indicating whether the user is staying in a non-RT, RT, or MB game.
Furthermore, the internal state information includes internal state A (normal), internal state B (preparing for pushing order), internal state C (pressing order game), internal state D (high probability), internal state E ( Presence), internal state F (AT), internal state G (in preparation for addition), internal state H (in addition special zone), internal state I (in preparation for continued battle), internal state J (continuation battle) The information etc. which show whether it is doing are mentioned.

Furthermore, as information on the AT, information on whether or not to execute AT (AT lottery), information on the start of AT, information on the difference number of medals in the AT (net increase number), addition of the difference number (addition) Information on lottery, number of extras), information on continuation of AT (continuation rate, continuous lottery), information on end of AT, and the like.
Further, as the operation information (instruction information) of the stop switch 42, information on the correct answer pressing order at the time of winning the small roles A1 to G2 (push order bell), the correct pressing order at the time of winning the small roles A1 to G2 (pressing order bell). Information on winning, information on the pushing order in which Replay 06 (JAC uniform) wins at the time of Replay B to E winning, information on the pushing order at which Replay 05 (white BAR uniform) can be won at the time of winning Replay H, etc. .

The production output control means 83a outputs any production at any timing (such as when the start switch 41 is operated or when each stop switch 42 is operated) according to the gaming state, internal state, winning combination, etc. It is determined by lottery how to turn on, blink, or turn off the lamp 21, what kind of sound is output from the speaker 22, what kind of image is displayed on the image display device 23, etc. .
Then, the effect output control means 83a controls the output of the effect lamp 21, the speaker 22, and the image display device 23 in accordance with the determination.

In the present embodiment, the internal state control means 63g on the main control board 60 side determines whether or not to execute AT (AT lottery), starts AT, and adds a difference number of medals during the AT (net increase number). Control (manage) AT continuation and AT termination.
Further, the main control board 60 transmits information related to the internal state, information related to the AT, and operation information (instruction information) of the stop switch 42 to the sub control board 80.
Then, the effect output control means 83a on the sub-control board 80 side notifies the operation mode (push order) of the stop switch 42 based on the information transmitted from the main control board 60, and further, the medal of the AT The difference number (pure increase number), the number of games, etc. are displayed as images.

Specifically, in the present embodiment, the presentation state on the sub-control board 80 side has a non-notification state (non-AT) and a notification state (AT).
Further, when the main control board 60 side is in the internal state A, B, C, D, or E, the production output control means 83a sets the production state to the non-notification state (non-AT), and the main control board 60 side has the internal state F. , G, H, I, or J, the effect state is set to the notification state (AT).

Furthermore, in the notification state (AT), the production output control means 83a notifies the push order (correct answer push order) in which the small role 01 wins when the small roles A1 to D2 are won, and the small role E1 to F2 wins the small size. The push order in which the winning combination 02 wins (correct answer pressing order) is notified, and when the small combination G1 to G2 is won, the pressing order in which the winning combination 03 wins (correct answer pressing order) is notified.
On the other hand, in the non-notification state (non-AT), the effect output control means 83a does not notify the correct answer pressing order.

FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating a correspondence relationship among the pressing order of the stop switch 42, instruction information, main-side instruction content, and sub-side instruction content.
Here, the “main-side instruction content” means content displayed on the acquisition number display LED 72 (operation information display LED 74) as the operation information of the stop switch 42.
Further, “sub-side instruction content” means content displayed on the image display device 23 as operation information of the stop switch 42.

As shown in FIG. 12, for example, the instruction information is set to “01”, the main-side instruction content is set to “01”, and the sub-side instruction content is “123” corresponding to the pressing order of “left middle right”. "Is set.
Corresponding to the pressing order of “first left stop”, the instruction information is set to “07”, the main-side instruction content is set to “07”, and the sub-side instruction content is set to “1--”. ing.
Further, in response to “left or middle two choices”, the instruction information is set to “11”, the main-side instruction content is set to “11”, and the sub-side instruction content is set to “??? X”. ing.
As described above, the instruction information, the main-side instruction content, and the sub-side instruction content are set for each pattern of the pressing order of the stop switch 42.

FIG. 13 and FIG. 14 are diagrams illustrating a correspondence relationship between the condition device, instruction information, main-side instruction content, and sub-side instruction content in each internal state.
As shown in FIG. 13, in the internal state A (normal), the internal state B (preparing for pushing order), the internal state D (high accuracy), and the internal state E (predictor), the small roles A1 to G2 (pushing order bells). ) The instruction information at the time of winning is set to “99”, the replay B to E, G, H (push order replay) the instruction information at the time of winning is set to “88”, the main side instruction content and the sub side instruction content are Not set.

Then, in the internal states A, B, D, and E, the command control means 63i transmits the instruction information “99” to the sub control board 80 when the small roles A1 to G2 (push order bell) are selected, and the replay B When E, G, H (push order replay) is selected, instruction information “88” is transmitted to the sub-control board 80. In this case, the main-side notification unit 63h does not display the main-side instruction content on the acquisition number display LED 72 (operation information display LED 74), and the effect output control unit 83a displays the sub-side instruction content on the image display device 23. Is not displayed.
In the internal states A, B, D, and E, the command control means 63i does not transmit information that can identify the condition device (winning number) to the sub-control board 80, and can identify the correct pressing order. Also do not send.

Here, the instruction information “99” is information indicating that one of the small roles A1 to G2 has been won. However, from the instruction information “99”, it is impossible to identify which of the small roles A1 to G2 is won, the condition device (winning number) is also unidentifiable, and the correct answer pressing order is also unidentifiable.
Accordingly, when the instruction information “99” is received, the sub-control board 80 side cannot notify the correct pressing order, but the effect related to the pressing order bell (for example, display of a color (yellow) corresponding to the bell) Can be output.

The instruction information “88” is information indicating that one of the replays B to E, G, or H has been won. However, from the instruction information “88”, it is impossible to identify which one of the replays B to E, G, or H has been won, the condition device (winning number) is also indistinguishable, and the replay 06 or the like wins. The pressing order is also indistinguishable.
Therefore, when the instruction information “88” is received, the sub-control board 80 side cannot notify the pressing order in which the replay 06 or the like wins, but the effect related to the pressing order replay (for example, the color corresponding to the replay ( It is possible to output (display in blue).

As described above, in the internal states A, B, D, and E, the main control board 60 transmits information that can identify the correct push order when the small roles A1 to G2 (push order bell) are selected to the sub-control board 80. Therefore, even if the sub-control board 80 side is tampered with and the information transmitted from the main control board 60 to the sub-control board 80 is illegally obtained, information regarding the correct answer pressing order cannot be obtained.
As a result, it is possible to prevent the correct push order from being illegally known when winning the small roles A1 to G2 (push order bell) during non-AT, and to pay out medals on the sub-control board 80 side. ) Can be prevented.

  In the internal states A, B, D, and E, the main control board 60 determines the push order in which the replays 06 and the like win the prizes when the replays B to E, G, and H (push order replay) are won. Since the identifiable information is not transmitted, it is possible to prevent the push order related to the transition of the internal state from being known due to an illegal act on the sub-control board 80 side.

As shown in FIG. 13, in the internal state C (pressing order hitting game), the instruction information at the time of replay D winning is set to “88 + 11”, the main-side instruction content is set to “11”, and the sub-side instruction content is “????” is set. In addition, the instruction information for winning the small role A1 is set to “99 + 11”, the main-side instruction content is set to “11”, and the sub-side instruction content is set to “??? X”.
The instruction information “88 + 11” means that “88” and “11” are set as the instruction information. Similarly, the instruction information “99 + 11” means that “99” and “11” are set as the instruction information.

  When the replay D is won in the internal state C, the command control means 63 i transmits instruction information “88” and “11” to the sub-control board 80 when the start switch 41 is operated. In addition, the main-side notifying unit 63h displays the acquired number display LED 72 (operation information display LED 74) on the main display at a predetermined time (for example, when the start switch 41 is operated) until the operation of the stop switch 42 is enabled. The side instruction content “11” is displayed. Further, the effect output control means 83a displays the sub-side instruction content “????” on the image display device 23 at a predetermined time until the operation of the stop switch 42 is made possible.

  When the small combination A1 is won in the internal state C, the command control means 63i transmits the instruction information “99” and “11” to the sub control board 80 when the start switch 41 is operated. Further, the main-side notifying means 63h displays the main-side instruction content “11” on the acquisition number display LED 72 at a predetermined time until the operation of the stop switch 42 can be accepted. Further, the effect output control means 83a displays the sub-side instruction content “????” on the image display device 23 at a predetermined time until the operation of the stop switch 42 is made possible.

Here, in the internal state C, the main-side notification means 63h displays the same main-side instruction content “11” on the acquired number display LED 72 in both the replay D win and the small role A1 win. The command control means 63 i transmits the same instruction information “11” to the sub-control board 80.
Further, the command control means 63i transmits the instruction information “88” together with the instruction information “11” when the replay D is won, and the instruction information “11” together with the instruction information “11” when the small role A1 is won. 99 "is transmitted to the sub-control board 80.

  Therefore, the sub-control board 80 side wins the push order replay (replay B to E, G, or H) depending on whether the instruction information “11” or the instruction information “88” or “99” is received. It is possible to identify whether the time or the push order bell (any of the small roles A1 to G2) is won.

Therefore, when the replay D is won in the internal state C, the effect output control unit 83a outputs an effect related to the push order replay (blue display corresponding to the replay) and causes the player to select either left or inside. (Display “?? x”) can be output.
Similarly, the effect output control means 83a outputs an effect related to the push order bell (yellow display corresponding to the bell) when selecting the small role A1 in the internal state C, and selects either the left or the middle for the player. It is possible to output an effect to be displayed (display of “?? x”).

Thus, in the present embodiment, even if the condition devices are different (in the above example, the replay D and the small role A1), the same instruction information “11” is transmitted and the same main-side instruction content “11” is transmitted. It has a case to display.
Even if the same instruction information “11” is transmitted and the same main instruction content “11” is displayed, the sub instruction contents are different (in the above example, the blue “????” display is yellow “?? ×” display).

The instruction information “11” is information indicating the left or middle two choices, but the instruction information “11” cannot be identified until the correct answer pressing order at the time of winning the pressing order bell. That is, the instruction information “11” is information regarding the pressing order of the stop switch 42, but is information that cannot be identified until the correct pressing order. For this reason, even if the sub-control board 80 side is tampered with and the information transmitted from the main control board 60 to the sub-control board 80 is illegally obtained, the information regarding the correct pressing order cannot be obtained.
Therefore, even if the push order hitting game is executed during non-AT, it is possible to prevent the correct push order from being illegally known, and to control the payout of the medals on the sub-control board 80 side. Can be prevented.

The sub-side instruction content “?? x” is information relating to the operation mode of the stop switch 42, although the correct answer pressing order cannot be identified. When the information regarding the operation mode of the stop switch 42 is notified on the sub-control board 80 side, the main-side instruction content “11” is displayed even if the correct pressing order is not identifiable. Similarly, when the sub-side instruction content “? ×?” Is displayed, the main-side instruction content “12” is displayed. When the sub-side instruction content “× ??” is displayed, the main-side instruction content “13” is displayed. Is displayed.
As described above, in the present embodiment, even when the presentation state on the sub control board 80 side is non-AT, when the information regarding the operation mode of the stop switch 42 is notified on the sub control board 80 side, the main side instruction content “ 11 "to" 13 "are displayed.

In addition, when winning the small roles A1 to G2 in the internal state C, the main notification means 63h displays the acquired number display LED 72 (operation information display LED 74) after the third stop (after the third stop switch 42 is operated). In addition, information indicating the correct answer pressing order (for example, “01” corresponding to the correct answer pressing order “left middle right” when the small role A1 is won) is displayed.
Furthermore, at the time of replay B to E winning in the internal state C, the main notification means 63h displays information indicating the pressing order in which the replay 06 wins on the acquisition number display LED 72 after the third stop (for example, at the time of replay B winning, “08”) corresponding to the pressing order “medium first stop” in which the replay 06 wins is displayed.

Furthermore, at the time of winning the small roles A1 to G2 in the internal state C or at the time of replays B to E, the command control means 63i provides information on the condition device (winning number) in the game to the sub-control board 80 after the third stop. Send. On the sub-control board 80 side, the ROM 82 stores data indicating the relationship between the condition device and the correct answer pressing order and the pressing order in which the replay 06 wins. When the information related to the condition device is received on the sub-control board 80 side, the effect output control means 83a causes the image display device 23 to push the correct answer push order or the push order in which the replay 06 wins after all the reels 31 are stopped. Is displayed as an image.
Thereby, it is possible to inform the player afterwards which push order is the correct push order and which push order is the push order in which the replay 06 wins.

Further, if the information transmitted from the main control board 60 to the sub-control board 80 is illegally acquired after the third stop, medals cannot be paid out based on the information.
For this reason, even if information related to the conditional device is transmitted during non-AT, it is possible to prevent the medal from being paid out illegally, and to control the payout of the medal on the sub-control board 80 side. Can be prevented.

As shown in FIG. 14, in the internal state F (AT), G (preparation for addition), H (specialization zone for addition), I (preparation for continuous battle), J (continuation battle), when the small role A1 is elected The instruction information is set to “99 + 01”, the main-side instruction content is set to “01”, and the sub-side instruction content is set to “123”.
The instruction information “99 + 01” means that “99” and “01” are set as the instruction information.

When the small role A1 in the internal states F, G, H, I, J is selected, the command control means 63i transmits the instruction information “99” and “01” to the sub-control board 80, and the main-side notification means 63h displays the main instruction content “01” on the acquisition number display LED 72 (operation information display LED 74).
On the sub-control board 80 side, the instruction information “99” is information indicating that one of the small roles A1 to G2 (push order bell) has been won, and the instruction information “01” is “left middle right” "ROM (sub ROM) 82 stores information indicating the pressing order of".

  For this reason, when the instruction information “99” and “01” are received, the sub-control board 80 side can identify that the push order bell in which the left middle right is the correct push order is won. Then, the effect output control means 83a outputs to the image display device 23 an effect related to the push order bell (yellow display corresponding to the bell), and an effect (sub-side) indicating that the left middle right is the correct push order. The instruction content “123” is displayed).

Also, the correct answer pressing order when winning the small role A2 is “left middle right”. For this reason, even when the small role A2 is won in the internal states F, G, H, I, J, the command control means 63i sends the instruction information “99” and the sub control board 80 to the instruction information “99”. "01" is transmitted, the main-side notification means 63h displays the main-side instruction content "01" on the acquisition number display LED 72 (operation information display LED 74), and the effect output control means 83a is displayed on the image display device 23. The sub instruction content “123” is displayed.
In this way, the condition devices are different (small roles A1 and A2) transmit the same instruction information “01”, display the same main-side instruction content “01”, and the same sub-side instruction content “123”. May be displayed.

Further, as shown in FIG. 14, in the internal states F, H, and J, the instruction information at the time of replays B to E and H is set to “88”, and the main-side instruction content and the sub-side instruction content are set. Absent.
In the internal states F, H, and J, the command control means 63 i transmits instruction information “88” to the sub-control board 80 when the replays B to E and H are selected. The main-side notification unit 63h does not display the main-side instruction content on the acquisition number display LED 72 (operation information display LED 74), and the effect output control unit 83a displays the sub-side instruction content on the image display device 23. Do not show. This is because in the internal states F, H, and J, the push order for replay 05 or 06 is not notified when the push order replay is won.

  Also, as shown in FIG. 14, in the internal state G (preparing for addition), the instruction information for Replay B to E winning is set to “88”, but the instruction information for Replay H winning is “88 + 09”. Is set to Further, when the replays B to E are won, the main-side instruction content and the sub-side instruction content are not set, but when the replay H is won, the main-side instruction content is set to “09” and the sub-side instruction content is “−−”. 1 ”is set.

  When the replay H is selected in the internal state G, the command control means 63i transmits the instruction information “88” and “09” to the sub-control board 80, and the main-side notification means 63h The main-side instruction content “09” is displayed on the information display LED 74), and the effect output control means 83 a displays the sub-side instruction content “−−1” on the image display device 23. This is to notify the pressing order for winning the replay 05 (white BAR uniform) when the replay H is won in the internal state G.

Also, as shown in FIG. 14, in the internal state I (in preparation for continuous battle), the instruction information for replay H winning is set to “88” contrary to the internal state G, and the instruction information for replay B winning is selected. Is set to “88 + 08”, the instruction information for replay C winning is set to “88 + 09”, and the instruction information for replay D or E winning is set to “88 + 07”.
When the replay B is won in the internal state I, the main instruction content is set to “08” and the sub instruction content is set to “−1−”. Furthermore, when the Replay C is won, the main instruction content is set to “09” and the sub instruction content is set to “−1”. Further, when the replay D or E is won, the main instruction content is set to “07” and the sub instruction content is set to “1--”.

  When the replay B is won in the internal state I, the command control means 63i transmits the instruction information “88” and “08” to the sub-control board 80, and the main-side notification means 63h The main instruction content “08” is displayed on the information display LED 74), and the effect output control means 83 a displays the sub-side instruction content “−1−” on the image display device 23. When the replays C to E in the internal state I are won, the corresponding instruction information is transmitted and the corresponding main-side instruction contents and sub-side instruction contents are displayed, respectively, as in the case of the replay B winning. This is to notify the pressing order for winning the replay 06 (JAC uniform) when the replays B to E in the internal state I are won.

  Thus, in the present embodiment, during AT, there are cases where the main-side instruction content is displayed not only at the time of pushing order bell winning but also at the time of pushing order replay winning. When a push order replay is won, no matter which push order is used, any replay wins and the player replays the game. This is because it is preferable to display the main instruction content even when winning.

  In FIG. 14, the instruction information when the internal state F is selected for the replay H is set to “88”. However, for example, the instruction information when the internal state F is selected for the replay H is set to “88 + 07”. Good. At the time of replay H winning in the internal state F, the command control means 63i transmits the instruction information “88” and “07” to the sub-control board 80, and the main-side notification means 63h is displayed on the operation information display LED 74. The main-side instruction content “07” may be displayed, and the effect output control means 83 a may display the sub-side instruction content “1--” on the image display device 23. Thereby, when the replay H is won in the internal state F, the replay 01 can be won by operating the stop switch 42 with the first left stop.

  On the other hand, when the replay H is won in the internal state G, the command control means 63i transmits the instruction information “88” and “09” to the sub-control board 80, and the main notification means 63h is the operation information display LED 74. The main-side instruction content “09” is displayed, and the effect output control means 83 a displays the sub-side instruction content “−−1” on the image display device 23. As a result, when the replay H is won in the internal state G, the stop switch 42 is operated with the first right stop, and the replay 05 (white BAR uniform) is won.

Here, when the replay H is selected, if the stop switch 42 is operated with the left or middle first stop, the symbol combination corresponding to the replay 01 can be stopped on the active line, and if the stop switch 42 is operated with the right first stop, The combination of symbols corresponding to the replay 05 can be stopped on the active line. In addition, the replay 01 and the replay 05 are different in the combination of symbols, but have the same profit (replay) for the player.
In this way, according to the internal state, by informing the player of which internal state is staying by changing the push order to be notified at the time of the push order replay winning, and by changing the type of replay to be awarded Can do.

Also, for example, at the time of winning the push order replay, the type of replay to be awarded is changed according to the order of pressing the stop switch 42, and the benefits granted to the player are shifted to different internal states according to the type of replay awarded. You may let them.
In this case, even if the stop switch 42 is operated in any pushing order, any replay wins, so in the game, the profit given to the player is the same (re-game), but in the subsequent game Since the privilege given to the player is different, when displaying the sub-side instruction content on the sub-control board 80 side (notifying the pressing order), it is preferable to display the main-side instruction content on the main control board 60 side.

Further, in FIGS. 13 and 14, the main instruction contents at the time of winning the small roles H1 to J3 (rare small roles) are not set. Therefore, in any of the internal states A to E (the sub-control board 80 side performance state is non-AT) and the internal states F to J (the sub-control board 80 side performance state is AT), The main display instruction content corresponding to the winning of the rare small role is not displayed on the acquired number display LED 72.
However, for example, the main-side instruction content when winning the small roles H1 to J3 may be set to “66”. When any of the small roles H1 to J3 is won, the main-side notification unit 63h may display the main-side instruction content “66” on the acquired number display LED 72. As a result, the player can be informed that a rare small role has been won.

In addition, the main side instruction content “66” at the time of rare small role winning may be displayed in, for example, all of the internal states A to J, or the internal states A to E (the production state on the sub control board 80 side). May be performed only in the non-AT), or may be performed only in the internal states F to J (the effect state on the sub-control board 80 side is AT).
Further, when the rare small combination is won, the command control means 63 i transmits a winning number to the sub-control board 80. On the sub-control board 80 side, when the winning number is received at the time of the rare small role winning, the effect output control means 83a outputs the effect corresponding to the received winning number to the image display device 23. For example, when winning a small role H1 or H2, an effect corresponding to the small role H1 or H2 (display of “green” corresponding to a watermelon) is output, and when winning a small role I1 or I2, corresponding to the small role I1 or I2 Production (display of “red” corresponding to cherry) is output.

Next, instruction information transmission timing, main-side instruction content display timing, and sub-side instruction content display timing in the present embodiment will be described.
FIGS. 15 to 17 are timing charts showing the relationship among the transmission timing of the instruction information, the display timing of the main-side instruction content, and the display timing of the sub-side instruction content in the present embodiment.
FIG. 15 shows the transmission timing of the instruction information in the internal states A (normal), B (preparing for pushing order), D (high accuracy), and E (precursor), and the display timing of the main-side instruction contents and the sub-side instruction contents. Is shown.

As shown in FIG. 15, in the internal states A, B, D, and E, the command control means 63 i transmits instruction information to the sub control board 80 when the start switch 41 is operated.
In the internal states A, B, D, and E, the pressing order is not notified, so the main-side notification unit 63h does not display the main-side instruction content, and the effect output control unit 83a Does not display instructions.

FIG. 16 shows the transmission timing of the instruction information in the internal state C (push order game), F (AT), H (addition specialization zone), I (preparing for continuous battle), J (continuous battle), and the main side The display timing of instruction content and sub-side instruction content is shown.
As shown in FIG. 16, in the internal states C, F, H, I, and J, as in the internal states A, B, D, and E, when operating the start switch 41, the command control means 63i Instruction information is transmitted to 80.

  In the internal states C, F, H, I, and J, after transmitting the instruction information, the main-side notification unit 63h starts displaying the main-side instruction content on the acquisition number display LED 72 (operation information display LED 74). Thereafter, the main-side notification unit 63h continues to display the main-side instruction content until the third stop switch 42 is operated (until the third stop switch 42 is turned on). And the main side alerting | reporting means 63h complete | finishes the display of the main side instruction content at the time of operation of the 3rd stop switch 42. FIG.

The main instruction content is displayed when information (command) indicating that the stop switch 42 has been operated is transmitted, when information (command) indicating that all the reels 31 are stopped, or by the winning determination means 63d. It may be terminated at a predetermined time before winning determination.
In particular, in this embodiment, in order to display the main-side instruction content on the acquisition number display LED 72, if the main-side instruction content is continuously displayed until after the winning determination by the winning determination means 63d, the player can display the main-side instruction content and medal There is a risk of confusion with the number obtained. Therefore, it is preferable to end the display of the main instruction content before winning determination by the winning determination means 63d.

  Furthermore, in the internal states C, F, H, I, and J, the presentation output control means 83a sends the sub-side instruction content to the image display device 23 almost simultaneously with the start of display of the main-side instruction content after transmission of the instruction information. Start displaying. Thereafter, the effect output control means 83a continues to display the sub-side instruction content until the third stop switch 42 is operated. Then, the effect output control means 83a ends the display of the sub-side instruction content when the third stop switch 42 is operated.

FIG. 17 shows the transmission timing of the instruction information in the internal state G (preparing for addition), and the display timing of the main-side instruction content and the sub-side instruction content.
As shown in FIG. 17, also in the internal state G, the command control means 63 i transmits instruction information to the sub control board 80 when the start switch 41 is operated, as in other internal states.

  Also, in the internal state G, as in the internal states C, F, H, I, and J, after the transmission of the instruction information, the main-side notification unit 63h displays the acquired number display LED 72 (operation information display LED 74) on the main side. Start displaying the instruction content. Thereafter, the main-side notification unit 63h continues to display the main-side instruction content until the third stop switch 42 is operated (until the third stop switch 42 is turned on). And the main side alerting | reporting means 63h complete | finishes the display of the main side instruction content at the time of operation of the 3rd stop switch 42. FIG.

  Furthermore, in the internal state G, unlike the internal states C, F, H, I, and J, the effect output control means 83a displays the sub-side instruction content on the image display device 23 when the reel 31 starts to rotate. Start. Specifically, when receiving information indicating that the rotation of the reel 31 has started on the sub-control board 80 side, the effect output control means 83a starts displaying the sub-side instruction content on the image display device 23. Thereafter, the effect output control means 83a continues to display the sub-side instruction content until the third stop switch 42 is operated. Then, the effect output control means 83a ends the display of the sub-side instruction content when the third stop switch 42 is operated.

As described above, the display timings of the main-side instruction contents are the same in the internal states C, F, H, I, and J and the internal state G, but the display timings of the sub-side instruction contents are different. Specifically, in the internal states C, F, H, I, and J, the main-side instruction content and the sub-side instruction content start to be displayed almost simultaneously, but in the internal state G, the main-side instruction content is displayed. Starts, and then delays and starts displaying the instruction contents on the sub side.
Thus, the player is informed that he / she is staying in the internal state G (preparing for addition), and the player is expected to shift to the internal state H (addition-specific zone).

Note that the transmission timing of the instruction information and the display start timing of the main-side instruction contents and the sub-side instruction contents may be any time after the start switch 41 is operated and before the operation of the stop switch 42 is enabled. .
Moreover, the display start of the main instruction content and the display start of the sub instruction content may be performed at the same time, the display of the main instruction content may be started, and the display of the sub instruction content may be started after that. Conversely, the display of the sub-side instruction content may be started, and then the display of the main-side instruction content may be started after a delay.

Furthermore, display of the main-side instruction content may be started, and after that, the instruction information may be transmitted and display of the sub-side instruction content may be started.
In the internal state G, when the start switch 41 is operated, a lottery is performed to determine whether or not to delay the start of display of the sub-side instruction content. The start of display may be delayed.
Furthermore, the display end timing of the main-side instruction content and the sub-side instruction content may be any time after the second stop switch 42 is operated (when the second stop switch 42 is turned on). Examples of the display end timing include timing when the second stop switch 42 is operated, when the third stop switch 42 is operated, and when all the reels 31 are stopped.

  Moreover, the display of the main instruction content and the display of the sub instruction content may be terminated at the same time, the display of the main instruction content may be terminated, and the display of the sub instruction content may be terminated after that. Conversely, the display of the sub-side instruction content may be terminated, and then the display of the main-side instruction content may be terminated after a delay.

For example, as shown in FIG. 18, the instruction information is transmitted when the start switch 41 is operated, and then the display of the main-side instruction content is started when the rotation of the reel 31 is started. Thereafter, the stop switch 42 is in an operation-acceptable state. The display of the instruction contents on the sub side may be started before
Further, as shown in FIG. 19, instruction information is transmitted when the start switch 41 is operated, and then the display of the sub-side instruction content is started when the reel 31 starts to rotate. Thereafter, the stop switch 42 is in a state where the operation can be accepted. At this time, the display of the main instructions may be started.
Further, as shown in FIG. 20, display of the main-side instruction content is started when the start switch 41 is operated, and then instruction information is transmitted after the rotation of the reel 31 is started. Thereafter, the stop switch 42 is in a state where the operation can be accepted. The display of the instruction contents on the sub side may be started before

Specifically, for example, in the internal state F (AT), as shown in FIG. 16, when the start switch 41 is operated, instruction information is transmitted by the command control means 63i, and then the number obtained by the main-side notification means 63h. The display of the main-side instruction content is started on the display LED 72 (operation information display LED 74), and the display of the sub-side instruction content is started on the image display device 23 by the effect output control means 83a.
On the other hand, in the internal state G (preparing for addition), as shown in FIG. 18, at the start of the rotation of the reel 31, the main side notification means 63h starts displaying the main side instruction content on the acquisition number display LED 72, and then After a delay, the production output control means 83a starts displaying the sub-side instruction content on the image display device 23.

Further, as shown in FIG. 19, in the internal state G, when the rotation of the reel 31 is started, the presentation output control means 83a starts displaying the sub-side instruction content on the image display device 23, and the stop switch 42 can accept the operation. At this time, the main-side notification means 63h may start displaying the main-side instruction content on the acquisition number display LED 72.
Furthermore, for example, in the internal state F, when the start switch 41 is operated, the main-side notification means 63h starts displaying the main-side instruction contents, and the effect output control means 83a starts displaying the sub-side instruction contents. In the internal state G, display of the sub-side instruction content is started when the start switch 41 is operated, but display of the main-side instruction content may be started when the rotation of the reel 31 is started.

Further, for example, in the internal state F, when the start switch 41 is operated, the main-side notification unit 63h starts displaying the main-side instruction content, and the effect output control unit 83a starts displaying the sub-side instruction content. In the state G, when the rotation of the reel 31 is started, the main side notification unit 63h may start displaying the main side instruction content, and the effect output control unit 83a may start displaying the sub side instruction content.
That is, the main-side instruction content is displayed on the acquisition number display LED 72 by the main-side notification means 63h at different timings when the small role A1-G2 in the internal state F is won and when the small role A1-G2 is won in the internal state G Alternatively, the sub-side instruction content may be displayed on the image display device 23 by the effect output control means 83a.

In this way, the display timing of the main-side instruction content and / or the sub-side instruction content can be varied depending on the internal state.
Further, the display timing of the main instruction content and the display timing of the sub instruction content can be made almost simultaneously or shifted depending on the internal state.
For example, the display timing of the main-side instruction content and / or the sub-side instruction content may be different between the internal state F (AT) and the internal state H (addition-specific zone). More specifically, when the start switch 41 is operated when the internal state F push order bell is selected, and when the stop switch 42 is ready to accept the operation when the internal state H push order bell is selected, the acquisition number display LED 72 is instructed to the main side. The contents “01” to “09” can be displayed.
Thereby, it is possible to inform the player which internal state the user is staying in.

In a specific internal state, when the start switch 41 is operated, a lottery regarding the display timing may be performed, and the display timing of the main-side instruction content and / or the sub-side instruction content may be determined based on the lottery result.
Furthermore, in a specific internal state, the display timing of the main-side instruction content and / or the sub-side instruction content may be determined according to a scenario (predetermined effect pattern).
As a result, the player can be made to guess which internal state the user is staying in, so that the gameability can be improved.

  16 to 20, the display of the main-side instruction content and the sub-side instruction content is continued until the third stop switch 42 is operated, and the main-side instruction content and the sub-side instruction are displayed when the third stop switch 42 is operated. After displaying the contents, but after displaying the main-side instruction contents and the sub-side instruction contents corresponding to the correct pressing order, the operation mode different from the main-side instruction contents and the sub-side instruction contents (a pressing order different from the notified pressing order) When the stop switch 42 is operated, the display of the main-side instruction content and the sub-side instruction content may be terminated at that time.

Furthermore, after displaying the main instruction content and the sub instruction content corresponding to the correct pressing order, the stop switch 42 is operated in an operation mode (a different press order from the notified press order) from the main instruction content and the sub instruction content. When operated, the display of the acquired number display LED 72 (operation information display LED 74) and the image display device 23 is changed from the main side instruction content and the sub side instruction content corresponding to the correct pressing order to other information (for example, pressing order error). It may be switched to (information indicating that
In addition, when there are three stop switches 42, when the first stop switch 42 is operated (when the first stop switch 42 is turned on), the pushing order is incorrect, and when the second stop switch 42 is operated (second) When the stop switch 42 is turned on), there is a case in which the pressing order is missed.

  In addition, when the push order bell is won, when the correct answer push order (the push order for winning the winning combination with the maximum number of payouts) is reported, the small winning combination with the maximum payout due to the player's pushing order error. However, if a small combination that pays out a smaller number than the maximum number can be won, a stop switch 42 for winning a small combination that pays out a smaller number than the maximum number is notified from the notification of the correct pressing order. The operation information (push order or / and operation timing) may be switched to notification.

Specifically, when the small roles A1 to G2 (pressing order bell) in the internal state F are selected, the main instruction contents corresponding to the correct pressing order are displayed on the operation information display LED 74, and the sub instruction contents corresponding to the correct pressing order are displayed. Is displayed on the image display device 23, and then the stop switch 42 is operated in an operation mode (a pressing order different from the notified pressing order) different from the main-side instruction contents and the sub-side instruction contents.
In this case, the main CPU 63 determines whether or not there is another small role that can be won at that time, and if it is determined that there is another small role that can be won, the command control means 63i determines the other small role. Corresponding information is transmitted to the sub-control board 80.

Further, the main-side notifying means 63h stops the display of the operation information display LED 74 from the main-side instruction content corresponding to the correct push order in order to stop (win) the combination of symbols corresponding to the other small roles. The operation information of the stop switch 42 is switched.
Furthermore, the effect output control means 83a switches the display of the image display device 23 from the sub-side instruction content corresponding to the correct pressing order to the operation information of the stop switch 42 for winning the other small role.
In this manner, the notification of the correct answer pressing order can be switched to the notification of the operation information of the stop switch 42 for winning a small combination that will be paid out in a smaller number than the maximum number.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the main control board 60 is electrically connected to the external concentration terminal board 100. When the main control board 60 shifts to the internal state F (AT) (at the start of AT), the main control board 60 sends an external signal (a signal related to the start of AT; also referred to as an “AT signal”) to the external concentrated terminal board 100. Send. The AT signal is transmitted from the external concentration terminal board 100 to the game information display device 110, the hall computer, or the like.

In addition, the player can know the game history such as the total number of games and the number of AT executions on the current day and the past several days by looking at the game information display device 110.
Furthermore, by looking at the hall computer, the hall manager can know the total number of games, the number of AT executions, and the change in the appearance of balls (outgoing information) on the current day and the past several days. It can be used for the operation of the hall.

Further, the main control board 60 displays information (AT information) related to the start of AT on a predetermined display at the time of AT start, and then transmits an AT signal.
Specifically, in this embodiment, AT information is set to “77”. Then, when the gaming state is RT (inside the MB), the main control board 60 obtains the acquisition number display LED 72 at the time of transition from the internal state E (precursor) to the internal state F (AT) (at the start of AT). Display AT information “77”, and then control to turn on the output of the AT signal to the external concentration terminal board 100.

In addition, after the transition from the internal state E to the internal state F during the inside of the MB and the output of the AT signal is turned on, the main control board 60 continues until the main control board 60 shifts (returns) to the internal state A (normal). And the output of the AT signal is controlled to be turned off at the time of transition from the internal state J (continuation battle) to the internal state A (normal) (at the end of AT).
Furthermore, when the internal state E is changed to the internal state F and the output of the AT signal is turned on during the MB, the game state is changed from the MB internal state to the MB game before the internal state A is changed. At this time, the main control board 60 controls to turn off the output of the AT signal when shifting from the inside of the MB to the MB game.

When the internal state E is changed to the internal state F and the output of the AT signal is turned on while the MB is inside, the game state is changed from the inside of the MB to the MB game before the internal state A is changed. When shifting to the non-internal state, the main control board 60 may turn off the output of the AT signal when shifting from the MB game to the non-internal state.
Further, when the gaming state is non-RT (non-internal), the main control board 60 displays the AT information “77” on the acquisition number display LED 72 even when the internal state E shifts to the internal state F. In addition, control is performed so that the output of the AT signal is not turned on.

Note that a dedicated display (such as an LED) electrically connected to the main control board 60 may be provided, and AT information may be displayed on the dedicated display (including LED lighting) at the start of AT.
Also, at the start of AT, information related to the start of AT is transmitted from the main control board 60 to the sub control board 80. Further, when the sub control board 80 receives information related to the start of AT, the AT information is displayed on the image display device 23 or a dedicated display (LED or the like) electrically connected to the sub control board 80. . Thereafter, the main control board 60 may be controlled so that the output of the AT signal to the external concentration terminal board 100 is turned on.

  Furthermore, a dedicated display is provided on the main control board 60 side or the sub control board 80 side. At the start of AT, display of AT information on the dedicated display is started, and then the output of the AT signal is turned on. And In this case, the display of the AT information is continued and the output of the AT signal is kept on until the state shifts to the internal state A (normal). Then, when the AT ends, the output of the AT signal may be turned off, and thereafter the display of the AT information may be ended.

Furthermore, when the display of AT information on the dedicated display device is started and then the output of the AT signal is turned on, the game state is changed from the inside of the MB before the transition to the internal state A (AT ends). When transitioning to the MB game, the main control board 60 turns off the output of the AT signal when transitioning from the inside of the MB to the MB game, and thereafter ends the display of the AT information on the dedicated display device. Good.
In addition, when AT information display on a dedicated display is started and then the output of the AT signal is turned on, the game state passes from the inside of the MB to the MB game before shifting to the internal state A. The main control board 60 turns off the output of the AT signal at the time of transition from the MB game to the non-inside, and then ends the display of the AT information on the dedicated display. May be.

Thus, at the start of AT, by displaying AT information on a predetermined display connected to the main control board 60 or the sub-control board 80, and then transmitting an AT signal to the external concentration terminal board 100, The start of AT can be notified to the player on both the slot machine 10 side and the game information display device 110 side.
Further, when transmitting an AT signal to the external concentration terminal board 100, since the AT information is displayed on a predetermined display on the slot machine 10 side, the game information display device that the player is not notified on the slot machine 10 side The problem of notifying the player on the 110 side can be prevented.

Second Embodiment
FIG. 21 is a diagram illustrating a correspondence relationship between the condition device in each internal state, instruction information, main-side instruction content, and sub-side instruction content in the second embodiment. It is a corresponding figure. Hereinafter, differences from the first embodiment will be mainly described.
In the first embodiment, at the time of winning the push order bell during AT, “two-digit numerical value set for each push order” is transmitted as instruction information, and “two-digit numerical value set for each push order” is transmitted as the instruction content on the main side. However, in the second embodiment, “winning number” is transmitted as the instruction information, and “winning number” is displayed as the main instruction content.

  As shown in FIG. 21, in the internal states F (AT), G (preparation for addition), H (addition specialization zone), I (preparation for continuous battle), J (continuation battle), the command control means 63i is A “winning number” is transmitted to the sub-control board 80 as instruction information. In the game that has won the winning order to notify the pressing order, the main notification means 63h displays “winning number” on the acquisition number display LED 72 (operation information display LED 74) as the main instruction content.

Here, as shown in FIG. 21, the winning number of the small role A1 is “09”.
When the small role A1 in the internal state F, G, H, I, J is selected, the command control means 63i transmits a winning number “09” as instruction information to the sub-control board 80, and the main-side notification means 63h. Displays the winning number “09” as the main instruction content on the acquisition number display LED 72 (operation information display LED 74).
On the sub-control board 80 side, the winning number “09” is information indicating the winning of the small role A1, and the ROM (sub ROM) 82 indicates that the correct answer pressing order at the time of winning the small role A1 is “left middle right”. I remember it.

For this reason, the sub-control board 80 side can identify that the winning combination A1 has been won when the winning number “09” is received as the instruction information. Then, the effect output control means 83a outputs to the image display device 23 an effect related to the push order bell (yellow display corresponding to the bell), and an effect (sub-side) indicating that the left middle right is the correct push order. The instruction content “123” is displayed).
In the case of winning the small roles A2 to G2, the winning number is transmitted as the instruction information and the two-digit numerical value indicating the winning number is displayed as the main instruction content in the same manner as the small role A1 winning, and the sub instruction content Produces an effect indicating the correct answer pressing order.

Further, as shown in FIG. 21, the winning number of Replay H is “08”.
When the replay H is selected for the internal states F, G, H, I, and J, the command control means 63i transmits information indicating the internal state to the sub-control board 80, and the winning number “08” as the instruction information. Send.
Further, when the internal state F, H, I, J is replayed H, the main side notification means 63h does not display the main side instruction content, but when the internal state G (preparing for addition) is selected, the main side notification means 63h. The means 63h displays the winning number “08” as the main instruction content on the acquisition number display LED 72 (operation information display LED 74).

Furthermore, on the sub-control board 80 side, the winning number “08” is information indicating the Replay H winning, and the pressing order in which the Replay 05 (white BAR uniform) wins at the time of the Replay H winning is “first stop right”. The ROM (sub-ROM) 82 stores the notification of the pressing order in which the replay 05 wins when the replay H is won in the internal state G.
On the sub-control board 80 side, even if the winning number “08” is received as the instruction information in the internal states F, H, I, J, the production output control means 83a does not display the sub-side instruction content. In the internal state G, when the winning number “08” is received as the instruction information, the effect output control means 83a displays “−−1” indicating the right first stop as the sub-side instruction content on the image display device 23. .

Also, as shown in FIG. 21, the winning number for Replay B is “02”.
When the replay B is won for the internal states F, G, H, I, and J, the command control means 63i transmits information indicating the internal state to the sub-control board 80, and the winning number “02” as the instruction information. Send.
In addition, when the replay B is won in the internal states F, G, H, J, the main-side notification means 63h does not display the main-side instruction content, but when the replay B is won in the internal state I (continuous battle preparation), The notification means 63h displays the winning number “02” as the main instruction content on the acquisition number display LED 72 (operation information display LED 74).

Furthermore, on the sub-control board 80 side, the winning number “02” is information indicating the Replay B winning, and the pressing order in which Replay 06 (JAC uniform) wins at the time of Replay B winning is “medium first stop” The ROM (sub-ROM) 82 stores information that the replay 06 is awarded when the replay B is won in the internal state I.
On the sub-control board 80 side, even if the winning number “02” is received as the instruction information in the internal states F, G, H, and J, the production output control means 83a does not display the sub-side instruction content. In the internal state I, when the winning number “02” is received as the instruction information, the effect output control means 83a displays “−1−” indicating the middle first stop as the sub-side instruction content on the image display device 23. .

In the internal state I replays C to E, as in the case of the internal state I replay B, the information indicating the internal state is transmitted and the winning number is transmitted as the instruction information. Each instruction is displayed. This is to notify the pressing order for winning the replay 06 (JAC uniform) when the replays B to E in the internal state I are won.
Note that the instruction information, the main-side instruction content, and the sub-side instruction content in the internal states A, B, C, D, and E are the same as in the first embodiment.
Also, the transmission timing of the instruction information and the display timing of the main-side instruction content and the sub-side instruction content are the same as in the first embodiment.

In the second embodiment, “winning number” is displayed as the main-side instruction content. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, “information regarding the type of the winning combination” is displayed as the main-side display content. May be.
Specifically, predetermined information is assigned to each combination described in FIGS. As predetermined information, for example, “A” for replay 01, “B” for replay 02, “C” for replay 03, “D” for replay 04, and “E” for replay 05. And “F” is assigned to Replay 06, respectively.

And, for example, when winning the replay C of the winning number “03”, as shown in FIG. 8, since the replays 01, 05, and 06 are repeatedly won, the operation information display LED 74 displays the main side display contents as “A” corresponding to the replay 01, “E” corresponding to the replay 05, and “F” corresponding to the replay 06 are displayed.
Similarly, when the replay D with the winning number “04” is won, as shown in FIG. 8, since the replays 01, 02, 03, and 06 are repeatedly won, the operation information display LED 74 displays the main display contents. “A” corresponding to replay 01, “B” corresponding to replay 02, “C” corresponding to replay 03, and “F” corresponding to replay 06 are displayed.

  Note that the small information items 01 to 31 are also assigned predetermined information, as in the case of the replays 01 to 06. When the push order bell (small roles A1 to G2) is won or rare rare roles (small roles H1 to J3) are selected, the operation information display LED 74 is assigned to each winning combination as the main display content. Display information.

Moreover, the information assigned to each combination described in FIGS. 5 to 7 is not limited to the alphabet.
For example, a 7-bit binary number (“0000000B” to “1111111B”) is given as predetermined information to each combination (MB, replay 01 to 06, small combination 01 to 31) described in FIGS. assign. Then, a 7-bit binary number may be displayed in a pattern of lighting or extinguishing of seven segments (segments A to G) constituting one seven segment display.

Specifically, for example, “000011B” is set for replay 01, “0000101B” is set for replay 02, “000001B” is set for replay 03, “0010001B” is set for replay 04, and “01000101B” is set for replay 05. And “1000001B” are assigned to Replay 06, respectively.
Also, for example, for the seven segments (segments A to G) constituting one seven segment display, segment A is “bit 0”, segment B is “bit 1”, and segment C is “bit 2”. , Segment D corresponds to “bit 3”, segment E corresponds to “bit 4”, segment F corresponds to “bit 5”, and segment G corresponds to “bit 6”.

For example, when the replay C with the winning number “03” is won, the replays 01, 05, and 06 are repeatedly won. “0000011B” corresponding to 01, “0100001B” corresponding to Replay 05, and “1000001B” corresponding to Replay 06 are displayed.
Further, “0000011B” corresponding to the replay 01 can be displayed by turning on the segments A and B and turning off the segments C to G. The same applies to the display of “01000101B” corresponding to Replay 05 and “1000001B” corresponding to Replay 06.
In this way, a maximum of 128 combinations can be displayed according to the lighting or extinguishing patterns of the seven segments constituting one seven segment display.

<Third Embodiment>
FIG. 22 is a diagram showing the operation information display LED 74 in the third embodiment, and FIG. 23 is a diagram illustrating condition devices, instruction information, main-side instruction contents, and sub-side instructions in each internal state in the third embodiment. It is a figure which shows the corresponding relationship with the content.
In the first embodiment, the acquired number display LED 72 and the operation information display LED 74 are combined, but in the third embodiment, a dedicated operation information display for displaying the main-side instruction content separately from the acquired number display LED 72. An LED 74 is provided.

  In the first embodiment, when the push order bell is selected during AT, “two-digit numerical value set for each push order” is transmitted as the instruction information, and “two digits set for each push order” is sent as the main instruction content. However, in the third embodiment, when winning the push order bell during AT, “winning number” is transmitted as instruction information, and “three-digit numerical value indicating the push order” is indicated as the main instruction content. indicate.

The operation information display LED 74 shown in FIG. 22 (1) includes three seven segment displays, and can display a three-digit numerical value. The operation information display LED 74 is for displaying the main-side instruction content, and is electrically connected to the main control board 60.
Further, as shown in FIG. 23, in the internal states F (AT), G (preparation for addition), H (addition specialization zone), I (preparation for continuous battle), J (continuation battle), command control means 63i. Transmits “winning number” as instruction information to the sub-control board 80. Further, in the game that has won the pressing order, the main side notification means 63h displays “three-digit numerical value indicating the pressing order” on the operation information display LED 74 as the main instruction content.

Here, as shown in FIG. 23, the winning number of the small role A1 is “09”.
When the small role A1 in the internal state F, G, H, I, J is selected, the command control means 63i transmits a winning number “09” as instruction information to the sub-control board 80, and the main-side notification means 63h. Displays, on the operation information display LED 74, a three-digit numerical value “123” indicating the middle left and right (the correct answer pressing order when winning the small role A1) as the main instruction content.

On the sub-control board 80 side, the winning number “09” is information indicating the winning of the small role A1, and the ROM (sub ROM) 82 indicates that the correct answer pressing order at the time of winning the small role A1 is “left middle right”. I remember it.
On the sub-control board 80 side, when the winning number “09” is received as the instruction information, the effect output control means 83a outputs an effect related to the push order bell (yellow display corresponding to the bell) to the image display device 23. In addition, an effect (display of the sub instruction content “123”) indicating that the middle left and right are in the correct pressing order is output.
In the case of winning the small roles A2 to G2, the winning number is transmitted as instruction information and the three-digit numerical value indicating the correct push order is displayed as the instruction information on the main side, as in the case of winning the small role A1. An effect indicating the correct pressing order is output as the content.

Also, as shown in FIG. 23, the winning number for Replay H is “08”.
When the replay H is selected for the internal states F, G, H, I, and J, the command control means 63i transmits information indicating the internal state to the sub-control board 80, and the winning number “08” as the instruction information. Send.
Further, when the internal state F, H, I, J is replayed H, the main side notification means 63h does not display the main side instruction content, but when the internal state G (preparing for addition) is selected, the main side notification means 63h. The means 63h displays, on the operation information display LED 74, "--1" indicating the first right stop (the pressing order in which the replay 05 (white BAR uniform) wins when the replay H is won).

Furthermore, on the side of the sub-control board 80, the winning number “08” is information indicating the Replay H winning, and the pressing order in which the Replay 05 wins at the time of Replay H winning is “Right first stop”. It is stored in ROM (sub ROM) 82 that the replay 05 is notified of the pressing order in which the replay 05 wins when winning the replay H.
On the sub-control board 80 side, even if the winning number “08” is received as the instruction information in the internal states F, H, I, J, the production output control means 83a does not display the sub-side instruction content. In the internal state G, when the winning number “08” is received as the instruction information, the effect output control means 83a displays “−−1” indicating the right first stop as the sub-side instruction content on the image display device 23. .

Also, as shown in FIG. 23, the winning number of Replay B is “02”.
When the replay B is won for the internal states F, G, H, I, and J, the command control means 63i transmits information indicating the internal state to the sub-control board 80, and the winning number “02” as the instruction information. Send.
In addition, when the replay B is won in the internal states F, G, H, J, the main-side notification means 63h does not display the main-side instruction content, but when the replay B is won in the internal state I (continuous battle preparation), The notification means 63h displays “−1−” indicating the middle first stop (the pressing order in which the replay 06 (JAC uniform) wins when the replay B is won) on the operation information display LED 74.

Furthermore, on the side of the sub-control board 80, the winning number “02” is information indicating the Replay B winning, the pressing order in which the Replay 06 wins at the time of Replay B winning is “medium first stop”, and the internal state I The ROM (sub-ROM) 82 stores information that the replay 06 wins when the replay B is won.
On the sub-control board 80 side, even if the winning number “02” is received as the instruction information in the internal states F, G, H, and J, the production output control means 83a does not display the sub-side instruction content. In the internal state I, when the winning number “02” is received as the instruction information, the effect output control means 83a displays “−1−” indicating the middle first stop as the sub-side instruction content on the image display device 23. .

In the internal state I replays C to E, as in the case of the internal state I replay B, the information indicating the internal state is transmitted and the winning number is transmitted as the instruction information. Each instruction is displayed. This is to notify the pressing order for winning the replay 06 (JAC uniform) when the replays B to E in the internal state I are won.
Note that the instruction information, the main-side instruction content, and the sub-side instruction content in the internal states A, B, C, D, and E are the same as in the first embodiment.
Also, the transmission timing of the instruction information and the display timing of the main-side instruction content and the sub-side instruction content are the same as in the first embodiment.

  In the above example, a 3-digit numerical value indicating the push order is displayed on the 3-digit operation information display LED 74 as the main-side instruction content. However, instead of the 3-digit operation information display LED 74, FIG. 1-digit operation information display LED 74 may be provided.

<Sixth Embodiment>
FIG. 28 is a diagram illustrating a correspondence relationship between the condition device, instruction information, main-side instruction content, reel effect, and sub-side effect pattern in the sixth embodiment.
In the sixth embodiment, during AT, when a push order bell is won, a freeze that delays the progress of the game is executed, and depending on the type of push order bell that has been won, the manner of reel effect during the freeze is varied It is.

  Here, “freeze” means delaying the progress of the game by pausing for a predetermined period of time. For example, receiving a medal, receiving an operation of the bet switch 40, start switch 41, stop switch 42 The function relating to the acceptance of the operation (acceptance of the stop operation of the reel 31) is to temporarily stop. It is possible to execute such a freeze and output various effects during the freeze period.

Furthermore, a pseudo game may be executed during the freeze period.
Hereinafter, the main game and the pseudo game will be described.
The “main game” is an original function of the operation switch (the bet switch 40 is a function for inserting a medal to start the game, and the start switch 41 is a function for starting the rotation of the reel 31 to start the game. The stop switch 42 is a game in which the function of stopping the rotating reel 31 within the range of the maximum number of moving frames based on the lottery result of the role) is effective as a game for obtaining a game result. Point to.

In this game, when the bet switch 40 is operated, medals are inserted, when the start switch 41 is operated, the reel 31 starts rotating (and the lottery is performed), and the stop switch 42 is operated. Sometimes, the reel 31 is stopped based on the winning lottery result, and the game result in the game is displayed by the combination of symbols when the reel 31 is stopped.
On the other hand, even if the bet switch 40 is operated, no medal is inserted, the reel 31 does not start rotating even if the start switch 41 is operated, and the reel 31 displays the game result even if the stop switch 42 is operated. No (reel 31 does not stop) means that the function of the operation switch is not effective for proceeding with this game and obtaining a game result in this game, and indicating that the operation is being frozen. means.

  The “pseudo game” is a game that is executed during the freeze. Unlike the main game, the function of at least one operation switch is to advance the main game and obtain a game result. Refers to games that are not valid. In particular, from the time when the start switch 41 is operated until the reel 31 becomes a constant speed and the operation of the stop switch 42 can be accepted (until the function of the stop switch 42 becomes effective for obtaining a game result). During this period, a pseudo game is executed.

  Moreover, as a timing of execution of the pseudo game, for example, the next game after the end of the warning (the first game after the transition from the internal state E to the internal state F) can be cited. In this game, a notification is made to aim at a combination of symbols to be stopped in the pseudo game, for example, “red 7” alignment (AT start symbol).

When it is decided to execute the pseudo game, the pseudo game is started before the start of this game.
When the player operates the start switch 41, a combination of lotteries is performed and a pseudo game is started. On the other hand, when the start switch 41 is operated, the rotation of the reel 31 is started. When the reel 31 is rotated by operating the start switch 41 and the game is executed before the main game in the game, the rotation of the reel 31 by the operation of the start switch 41 is simulated. It becomes a game.

Also, in the pseudo game, when the player operates the stop switch 42, the reel 31 corresponding to the stop switch 42 is changed to change the display state of the symbol different from the stop for displaying the game result. Control is performed so that a display state of a combination of symbols that does not indicate a result (a state close to the stop of the reel 31) is obtained. That is, although the function of the stop switch 42 is not effective for displaying the game result, the reel 31 is changed by the operation of the stop switch 42 as an opportunity.
At this time, an AT start effect is displayed by displaying the above-described AT start symbol triggered by the operation of the stop switch 42. Further, an external signal may be transmitted when the AT start symbol is displayed.

  In addition, when displaying the AT start symbol in response to the operation of the stop switch 42 during the pseudo game, the AT start symbol is the stop control using the stop position determination table in this game (the maximum number of moving symbols is four frames). ), But the AT start symbol is always displayed on the active line regardless of the operation timing of the stop switch 42 (even if the maximum number of moving frames exceeds 4). The reel 31 may be controlled. This is because the pseudo game is not limited by the maximum number of moving frames in this game.

Further, it is assumed that the display state of the symbol during the pseudo game is accompanied by fluctuation of the swing without the reel 31 (the symbol) completely staying at a certain position.
Here, “fluctuation fluctuation” means that a symbol repeats moving up and down with a constant amplitude (swing width). For example, the operation is such that after moving at a close position for a predetermined time, moving downward and holding at that position for a predetermined time, moving upward again and stopping for a predetermined time.

More specifically, it stays at that position for about 390 ms from the time the symbol is displayed, moves to the upper position, stays at that position for about 10 ms, then moves to the lower position and stays at that position for about 10 ms. , And so on, a pattern that stays about 390 ms at first, then repeats moving and staying for about 10 ms.
The reason for setting the first staying time to about 390 ms is to distinguish it from the stop for displaying the game result by setting the staying time to less than 500 ms.
“Stopping the reel 31” means displaying a game result. Then, once the game result is displayed, the reel 31 displaying the game result cannot be changed again within the same game. Therefore, if the reel 31 is stopped during the pseudo game, the reel 31 cannot be stopped and the game result cannot be displayed in the subsequent main game.

Therefore, during the pseudo game, with the operation of the stop switch 42 as a trigger, the display state of the symbol accompanied by the fluctuation of the shake, which is a state close to the stop of the reel 31 (also referred to as temporary temporary stop or pseudo stop), is set. That is, the display state of the symbol during the pseudo game is not a stop indicating the game result. In other words, even if the stop switch 42 is operated, the reel 31 does not stop so as to show the game result in the game.
For this reason, the display state of the symbol during the pseudo game does not mean that the symbol combination corresponding to the combination has stopped on the active line, that is, the combination winning combination. Therefore, medals are not paid out as in the small role winning, and medals are not automatically inserted as in the replay winning.

In this way, in the pseudo game, after all the reels 31 are set to the symbol display state, the player waits for the start switch 41 to be operated, and when the start switch 41 is operated, the pseudo game and freeze are performed. And all the reels 31 are changed again.
Note that the operation of the start switch 41 at this time is an operation in a state where the function of the start switch 41 is not effective for obtaining a game result, and the player ends the pseudo game by himself (freezing is performed). (Cancel or cancel) operation.
Further, the re-change of the reel 31 is controlled so that the rotation start timing of the re-change varies for each reel 31 by a random delay. Thereby, control is performed so as not to assist in pushing in the game after the pseudo game.

In the sixth embodiment, in the internal state F, G, H, I or J (the production state on the sub-control board 80 side is the notification state (AT)), freezing is performed when the small roles A1 to G2 (push order bell) are selected. In addition to the execution, the aspect of the reel effect during freezing is made different according to the type of the pressed order bell.
Here, “reel effect” means an effect in which the reel 31 is fluctuated in a different manner during normal freeze.

  As shown in FIG. 28, when the small role A1 is won in the internal state F, G, H, I or J, the main CPU 63 executes the freeze and also during the freeze, in order of left → middle → right. A reel effect A that reversely rotates the reel 31 is executed. Thereafter, the main CPU 63 ends the reel effect and the freeze, and re-varies all the reels 31 as described above.

More specifically, when the small role A1 is won in the internal state F, G, H, I or J, the main CPU 63 executes the freeze and also executes the reel effect A during the freeze, and performs command control. The means 63i transmits instruction information “01” indicating the reel effect A to the sub-control board 80, and the main notification means 63h displays the main information indicating the reel effect A on the acquisition number display LED 72 (operation information display LED 74). The side instruction content “01” is displayed.
On the sub control board 80 side, the instruction information “01” is stored in a ROM (sub ROM) 82 as information indicating the reel effect A.
When the instruction information “01” is received on the sub control board 80 side, the effect output control means 83 a displays an image of the effect pattern A corresponding to the reel effect A on the image display device 23.

In the case of winning the small roles A2 to G2, as in the case of winning the small role A1, a reel effect in a predetermined mode is executed on the main control board 60 side, and an effect of a predetermined effect pattern is output on the sub control board 80 side. To do. Further, the correspondence relationship between the condition device, instruction information, main-side instruction content, reel effect, and sub-side effect pattern is as shown in FIG.
As described above, when the reel effect A is executed, the player can recognize that the correct answer pressing order is “left middle right”. Therefore, when information indicating the reel effect A (instruction information “01”) is transmitted to the sub-control board 80, and the effect corresponding to the reel effect A (image display of the effect pattern A) is output on the sub-control board 80 side. Displays the main instruction content “01” on the operation information display LED 74 on the main control board 60 side.

Note that, for example, when the small role A1 in the internal state F, G, H, I or J (during AT) is selected, the reel effect A is executed with a probability of 250/256, and the reel effect B is executed with a probability of 1/256. The reel effect C is executed with a probability of 1/256, the reel effect D is executed with a probability of 1/256, the reel effect E is executed with a probability of 1/256, and the reel effect F with a probability of 1/256. And reel effect G may be executed with a probability of 1/256.
Also in this case, when the reel effect A is executed, the player can recognize that the correct answer pressing order is “left middle right”. Therefore, when the information indicating the reel effect A is transmitted to the sub control board 80 and the effect corresponding to the reel effect A is output on the sub control board 80 side, the main control board 60 side outputs the main corresponding to the reel effect A. Displays the instruction contents.

In addition, when the small role A1 in the internal state A, B, C, D or E (during non-AT) is elected, the reel effect A is executed with a probability of 10/256, and the reel effect B is executed with a probability of 10/256. The reel effect C is executed with a probability of 10/256, the reel effect D is executed with a probability of 10/256, the reel effect E is executed with a probability of 10/256, and the reel effect F is generated with a probability of 10/256. The reel effect G may be executed with a probability of 10/256.
In this case, even if the reel effect A is executed, the player cannot recognize that the correct pressing order is “left middle right”. Therefore, even if information indicating the reel effects A to G is transmitted to the sub control board 80 and the effects corresponding to the reel effects A to G are output on the sub control board 80 side, the reel effects A on the main control board 60 side. The main side instruction content corresponding to .about.G is not displayed.

When pushing order replay (replays B to E, G, H) is won, a reel effect of a predetermined mode is executed on the main control board 60 side as well as pushing order bell (small roles A1 to G2) is won. An effect of a predetermined effect pattern may be output on the sub control board 80 side.
Then, when the player makes the player recognize the push order in which the replay 06 or the like wins according to the form of the reel effect, and outputs the predetermined effect according to the form of the reel effect on the sub control board 80 side, the main control board 60 side The predetermined main-side instruction content corresponding to the reel effect mode is displayed on the operation information display LED 74.

Is set to “blue cherry”-“ANY”-“ANY”, and the combination of symbols corresponding to “small role X3” is set to “black cherry”-“ANY”-“ANY”.

Further, although not shown, in the seventh embodiment, the effective line L1 that passes through the horizontal middle stage, the effective line L2 that passes through the horizontal upper stage, the effective line L3 that passes through the horizontal lower stage, and the effective line L4 in the diagonally upward direction. , And five effective lines L5 in the diagonally downward direction.
Further, the stop control of each reel 31 within 190 ms (within 5 symbols) is the same as in the first embodiment.

For this reason, for example, when winning the small role X2, the symbols 14 to 16 are located in the display window 13 from the moment when the symbols 08 to 10 on the left reel 31 are located in the display window 13. When the left stop switch 42 is turned on until the moment when the signal is made, the 14th “blue cherry” symbol can be stopped on any of the effective lines L1 to L5.
On the other hand, when the left stop switch 42 is turned on at an operation timing other than the above, the 14th “blue cherry” symbol cannot be stopped on any of the effective lines L1 to L5.

Further, the left stop switch 42 is turned on from the moment when the symbols No. 08 to No. 10 on the left reel 31 are located in the display window 13 to the moment when the symbols No. 14 to No. 16 are located within the display window 13. When this is done, within the range of stop control of the reel 31, both the 21st “red cherry” symbol and the 07th “black cherry” symbol will stop at any of the effective lines L1 to L5. I can't let you.
That is, when the left stop switch 42 is operated at an operation timing at which the “blue cherry” symbol on the left reel 31 can be stopped on any of the effective lines L1 to L5, the “red cherry” symbol and the “black cherry” symbol are displayed. "" Cannot be stopped at any of the effective lines L1 to L5. The same applies to the small roles X1 and X3.

Further, on the main control board 60 side, whether or not to execute AT (AT lottery), AT start, addition of the number of medals in the AT (net increase), AT continuation, and AT end Control (management) is the same as in the first embodiment.
When the main control board 60 controls the internal state corresponding to the AT and wins the small role X1, the command control means 63i wins the small role X1 with respect to the sub control board 80. The main side notification means 63h displays the main side instruction content “01” indicating the winning of the small role X1 on the acquisition number display LED 72 (operation information display LED 74).

On the sub-control board 80 side, the instruction information “01” is stored in the ROM (sub-ROM) 82 as information indicating that the small role X1 is won.
When the instruction information “01” is received when the sub control board 80 is controlling to the effect state corresponding to the AT, the effect output control means 83a sends the sub display instruction content “01” to the image display device 23. “Red Cherry” is displayed.
In the case of winning the small roles X2 to X3, as in the time of winning the small role X1, during the AT, on the main control board 60 side, the command control means 63i transmits the corresponding instruction information, and the main notification means 63h The corresponding main-side instruction content is displayed, and the corresponding sub-side instruction content is displayed on the sub-control board 80 side. FIG. 30 shows the correspondence between the condition device, instruction information, main-side instruction content, and sub-side instruction content.

On the other hand, during non-AT, when the small roles X1 to X3 are selected, on the main control board 60 side, the command control means 63i does not transmit instruction information, and the main-side notification means 63h displays the main-side instruction content. On the sub control board 80 side, the effect output control means 83a does not display the sub-side instruction content.
In this way, during the AT, when the small roles X1 to X3 are won, it is notified which of the small roles X1 to X3 has been won. Thereby, the player can win the small roles X1 to X3 if he / she pushes in accordance with the notification.
On the other hand, during non-AT, when the small roles X1 to X3 are won, it is not notified which of the small roles X1 to X3 has been won. For this reason, the player can win the small roles X1 to X3 only with a probability of 1/3.

Even when 1BB and any one of the small roles X1 to X3 are won simultaneously during AT (at the same time), the command control means 63i transmits corresponding instruction information on the main control board 60 side, The side notification means 63h displays the corresponding main-side instruction content, and displays the corresponding sub-side instruction content on the sub-control board 80 side. In FIG. 30, “+” means duplicate winning. For example, “1BB + small combination X1” means that 1BB and small combination X1 are won in duplicate in the game.
On the other hand, when the 1BB and any of the small roles X1 to X3 are won in the non-AT, the command control unit 63i does not transmit the instruction information on the main control board 60 side, and the main side notification unit 63h does not display the main-side instruction content, and on the sub-control board 80 side, the effect output control means 83a does not display the sub-side instruction content.

In both the AT state and the non-AT state, when the small role Y is won, on the main control means 60 side, the command control means 63i instructs the sub-control board 80 to indicate the small role Y winning information “04”. On the sub-control board 80 side, the effect output control means 83a outputs an effect indicating the small role Y win (display of “green” corresponding to watermelon) to the image display device 23.
However, the main-side notification means 63h does not display the main-side instruction content when the small role Y is won during both AT and non-AT. This is because the effect indicating the winning of the small role Y is not an effect that causes an obvious difference in the payout of medals. The case of winning the small role Z and the case of overlapping winning of 1BB and the small role Z are the same as when winning the small role Y.

  As mentioned above, although one Embodiment of this invention was described, this invention is not limited to the said embodiment, For example, the following various deformation | transformation are possible.

(1) Myslo game It is also possible to execute a myslo game using the slot machine 10.
Here, “Myslo game” has the following contents.
The slot machine 10 stores a player's game history (the number of games, the number of winnings in an AT lottery, etc.). At the end of the game, the slot machine 10 displays the game history on the image display device 23 as a two-dimensional code.

  The player reads the two-dimensional code with the player's own portable communication terminal (such as a smartphone equipped with a CCD capable of reading the two-dimensional code) and accesses a server computer operated by the manufacturer of the slot machine 10 or the like. The server computer stores the latest game history of the player. Further, the server computer issues a password to the mobile communication terminal held by the player. The player can take over the game history by entering the password at the start of the game and starting the game.

In such a myslo game, the game history is stored in the RWM 81. When the RWM 81 is simply initialized when the power is turned on / off, there are a case where the game history is set to be erased and a case where the game history is set not to be erased.
Further, at the time of initialization when the setting change is started, the game history is deleted including the game history.

For example, if the game history is deleted when the power is turned on, the behavior when the setting change is started is the same as when the setting change is started. It is possible not to inform the player of this.
In addition, if the game history is uniformly erased when the power is turned off, the player will be disadvantaged if an unintended power cut occurs during the game. Therefore, the time is counted from the time when the power is turned off, and if a predetermined time (for example, 2 hours) has elapsed, the game history is erased when the power is turned on, and if the predetermined time has not elapsed, the game history is retained when the power is turned on. It may be.
The game history is not limited to the above-described myslo game, and the number of executions (the number of normal games, the number of AT games, etc.) relating to the game displayed on the image display device 23 can be controlled in the same manner.

(2) In the present embodiment, the internal state control means 63g performs an AT lottery to determine whether or not to execute AT in the internal state A (normal) when a rare small combination (small combination H1 to J3) is won. . Then, when the AT lottery is won, the internal state control means 63g shifts from the internal state A to the internal state E (a precursor). When the predetermined number of games (34 games) were consumed in the internal state E, the internal state F (AT) was shifted to.
However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the internal state control means 63g is within a predetermined range (for example, “1”) at the time of transition from the internal state J (continuation battle) to the internal state A (normal) (at the end of AT). To a value within the range of “1024”), and the selected numerical value is set as the number of released games until the next transition to the internal state F.

Further, the internal state control means 63g calculates the remaining number of games until the number of games counted from the end of the AT reaches the number of released games, and when the remaining number of games reaches a predetermined number of games (for example, 34 games). Shifts from the internal state A to the internal state E.
Then, the internal state control means 63g may shift from the internal state E to the internal state F when the number of games counted from the end of the AT reaches the number of released games.

  (3) In the present embodiment, the internal state control means 63g, when shifting from the internal state E (predictor) to the internal state F (AT), the initial value of the difference number of medals in the internal state F (for example, “100”). Was set in the difference counter. Further, in the internal state F, the internal state control means 63g subtracts the difference number in the game from the difference number counter every time the small roles 01 to 03 wins when the small roles A1 to G2 (push order bell) are won. Then, when the count value of the difference number counter becomes “0” or less, the internal state control means 63g shifts from the internal state F to the internal state I (in preparation for continuous battle).

However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the internal state control means 63g has a predetermined value for the number of games in the internal state F, the number of paid-out medals, the number of wins for the small roles A1 to G2, or the number of wins for the small roles A1 to G2. When reaching, the internal state F may be shifted to the internal state I.
In this case, in the internal state H (addition specialization zone), variables (the number of games, the number of paid-out medals, and the small combination A1) that determine the termination condition of the internal state F so that the stay period of the internal state F (AT) becomes longer. -G2 winning count or winning counts for small roles A1-G2) can be changed.

(4) Each of the above-described embodiments and each of the above-described modified examples are not limited to being implemented alone, and can be implemented in appropriate combination.

(A) Problems to be solved by the original invention In a conventional slot machine, when a result of a role lottery that results in an advantage / disadvantage for a player depending on the pressing order of the stop switch, the stop switch that is advantageous for the player is pressed. There is known a slot machine that performs AT for informing the order (see, for example, JP-A-2014-117554).

  In this slot machine, winning lotteries are performed on the main control board side, information (command) is transmitted from the main control board to the sub control board in one direction, and AT management is performed on the sub control board side. For this reason, the main control board cannot directly determine that the AT has started on the sub-control board side. Therefore, the main control board side determines that the AT has started on the sub control board side when the stop switch is operated in a specific push order in the game that has resulted in the specific lottery result, and the AT starts. An external signal (AT signal) is output.

  In the above-mentioned conventional slot machine, in the non-internal game where the winning of the special role is not carried over, even if the stop switch is operated in a specific pushing order in the game that is a specific lottery result, the AT signal is not output. However, it is conceivable that an AT signal is output when a stop switch is operated in a specific pushing order in a game in which a specific lottery result is obtained in an internal middle game that carries over winning of a special role.

However, if the AT signal is output only in the internal middle game without outputting the AT signal in the non-internal middle game, the AT is started not only by the display on the game information display device side that has received the AT signal, Even the fact that the game is a middle game (the fact that the special role has been won) will be informed to the player.
The problem to be solved by the invention is to prevent the problem that the player is notified on the game information display device side that the player is not notified on the slot machine side.
