Description

  The present invention relates to a slot machine that varies the type of special combination to be drawn and the payout of a small combination according to the number of inserted game media.

  In a conventional slot machine, there is known a slot machine that varies the winning probability of a special role and the number of active lines in accordance with the number of inserted medals (for example, see Patent Document 1).

JP 2009-297576 A

In the slot machine of Patent Document 1, the bell payout (the number of medals paid out at the time of winning) is set to 8 regardless of the number of medals inserted.
For this reason, the difference number obtained by subtracting the number of inserted medals from the number of medals paid out at the time of the Bell winning is 6 when two are inserted, and is 5 when three are inserted.
As described above, in the slot machine disclosed in Patent Document 1, the number of sheets at the time of winning a bell is larger when two sheets are inserted than when three sheets are inserted.
The problem to be solved by the present invention is to appropriately set the relationship between the number of game media inserted and the difference number at the time of a small winning combination.

The present invention solves the above problems by the following means. The configuration of the corresponding embodiment is shown in parentheses.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
<First Embodiment>
FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an outline of control of the slot machine 10.
The slot machine 10 includes a main control board 60 and a sub control board 80.
The main control board 60 and peripheral devices for game progress including operation switches such as the bet switch 40 are electrically connected via an input port or an output port (not shown). The input port is a connection unit to which signals such as operation switches are input, and the output port is a connection unit that transmits signals to peripheral devices such as the motor 32.
In FIG. 1, an input peripheral device displays a signal from the peripheral device as an arrow directed to the main control board 60, and an output peripheral device is directed from the main control board 60 to the peripheral device. Shown with arrows.

The main control board 60 includes an RWM (main memory) 61, a ROM 62, a main CPU 63, and the like (not meant to include only those illustrated in FIG. 1).
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 condition device, the drive control of the reel 31, and the winning Execute time payout.

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 permit 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) ( Off). 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. The bet switch 40 in the present embodiment includes a 1-bet switch 40a for betting one piece, and a max-bet switch 40b for betting the maximum number of medals that can be bet in the game.

In the present embodiment, in a normal game (inside non-inside, in 1BB-A, in 1BB-B), two or three medals are inserted to play a game, and a special game (1BB-A game, In (1BB-B game), it is set to play a game by inserting three medals. For this reason, when the max bet switch 40b is operated, three medals are inserted.
However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a bet switch for two bets may be provided.
In the present embodiment, in a normal game (inside non-inside, inside 1BB-A, inside 1BB-B), a game can be played by inserting two medals only when two medals are maintained from the medal slot 43. Set to be able to do.

Therefore, for example, when the maximum bet switch 40b is operated when the number of medals stored (credited) in the slot machine 10 is two, two medals are inserted. Even if the start switch 41 is operated at this time, the main control board 60 does not accept the operation of the start switch 41.
If the max bet switch 40b is operated when the number of medals stored in the slot machine 10 is two, the main control board 60 does not accept the operation of the max bet switch 40b. May be.

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

Further, as shown in FIG. 1, a display substrate 70 is electrically connected to the main control substrate 60.
Actually, a relay board is provided between the main control board 60 and the display board 70, the main control board 60 and the relay board are connected, and the relay board and the display board 70 are connected. Although connected, the illustration of the relay board is omitted in FIG. 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.
The storage number display LED 71 is an LED that displays the number of stored medals, and includes two seven-segment displays (so-called 7-segment) in order to display a two-digit number.
In the present embodiment, the storage number display LED 71 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.

The acquired number display LED 72 is an LED for displaying the number of medals to be paid out (the number of medals acquired by the player) when winning a winning combination. Like the stored number display LED 71, the acquired number display LED 72 includes two seven segment displays.
When there are no medals to be paid out, the display of the acquired number display LED 72 is “00”. However, for example, when one medal is paid out, the display of the acquired 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. 2 is a diagram showing a symbol arrangement of the reels 31. In FIG. 2, 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. 2, 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. 3 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, in FIG. 3, the symbols “replay (No. 11)” of the left reel 31, “JAC (No. 12)” of the middle reel 31, and “replay (No. 13)” of the right reel 31 are shown. The stopped position is referred to as “upper stage”, and the symbols of “bell (No. 10)” on the left reel 31, “bell (No. 11)” on the middle reel 31, and “bell (No. 12)” on the right reel 31 are shown. Is called “middle stage”, and “JAC (09)” of the left reel 31, “Replay (10)” of the middle reel 31, and “JAC (11)” of the right reel 31 The position where the symbol is stopped is referred to as “lower stage”.

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 3, effective lines are set for 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. This line is a line for winning the winning combination when it stops, and a line for giving a profit (such as paying out medals) according to the winning combination. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, only one straight effective line (one line) in the middle in the horizontal direction is determined, and the other symbol combination lines are all invalid lines.

For example, in FIG. 3, a linear symbol combination line passing through the upper stage of each reel 31, or a bent line-shaped 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. However, in this embodiment, such a line is an invalid line.
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, in a normal game (inside non-inside, inside 1BB-A, inside 1BB-B), two or three medals are inserted to play a game, and a special game (1BB- (A game, 1BB-B game), three medals are inserted to play a game. In all games, only one in the horizontal middle row is always 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. 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 during the game, various effect images (effects corresponding to the push order during AT, lottery results of condition devices, etc.) Information (number of games during AT, number of differences, etc.) is 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.
Then, the higher the set value, the higher the probability of winning for the player, such as the higher the winning probability of at least some of the condition devices, and the higher the set value, the different may be set differently. .

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. Further, by the above operation, resetting, that is, initialization processing is performed, and predetermined data (for example, information on setting values, information on AT, etc.) stored in the RWM 61 and the RWM 81 is 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.
When the setting key is rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise, the setting key switch 52 is turned off. At this time, the setting changing unit 63a stores the determined setting value in a predetermined storage area in the RWM 61. Thereby, it becomes possible to play with the set value after the setting change.

  In the state where no medals are bet and the condition device is not drawn (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. When it is done, “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.

Here, in the present embodiment, the game state (main game state) on the main control board 60 side is not inside, inside 1BB-A, inside 1BB-B, special game (1BB-A game, 1BB-B). Have a game).
In addition, the main control board 60 has the information that the main gaming state is in the 1BB-A and the 1BB-A when the power is turned off (when the power switch 51 is turned off) in the 1BB-A. Is stored (backed up) in a predetermined storage area in the RWM (main memory) 61.

  Furthermore, when the power is turned on (when the power switch 51 is turned on), the setting key switch 52 is in an off state, and at this time, the RWM 61 is informed that the main game state is in the 1BB-A. , And information indicating that 1BB-A winning information is carried over is stored, the main control board 60 carries over the main gaming state and the winning information of 1BB-A based on such information. Inside 1BB-A.

  Further, when the setting key switch 52 is in an ON state when the power is turned on, the main control board 60 is in a setting change (setting change mode) and performs an initialization process (reset). At this time, if the RWM 61 stores information indicating that the main gaming state is in 1BB-A and information indicating that the winning information of 1BB-A is carried over, the main control board 60 may The information is not erased (cleared), and the main game state is set to the inside of 1BB-A carrying the winning information of 1BB-A based on the information.

As described above, in 1BB-A, even if initialization processing is performed, information indicating that the main gaming state is in 1BB-A and information indicating that 1BB-A winning information has been carried over. Is not erased from the RWM 61 but is returned to the inside of the 1BB-A.
However, the information related to the setting value and the information related to the AT are deleted from the RWM 61 and the RWM 81 during the initialization process even within the 1BB-A.

Also, the main control board 60 has information that the main gaming state is in the 1BB-B and information that the 1BB-B winning information is carried over when the power is turned off in the 1BB-B. The data is stored in a predetermined storage area in the RWM 61.
When the power is turned on, the setting key switch 52 is in an off state. At this time, the RWM 61 carries information indicating that the main gaming state is inside 1BB-B and winning information of 1BB-B. When the information is stored, the main control board 60 sets the main game state to the inside of 1BB-B carrying over the winning information of 1BB-B based on the information.

However, when the power is turned on, the setting key switch 52 is in an ON state. At this time, the RWM 61 carries information indicating that the main gaming state is inside 1BB-B and winning information of 1BB-B. When the information is stored, the main control board 60 deletes the information and sets it to the non-internal state that is in the factory shipment state.
In this way, when the initialization process is performed within 1BB-B, information indicating that the main gaming state is within 1BB-B and information indicating that 1BB-B winning information has been carried forward are displayed in RWM61. Erase from to the factory default settings.

Further, the main control board 60 stores information indicating that the main game state is 1BB-A game in the RWM 61 if the 1BB-A game is being played when the power is turned off, and if the 1BB-B game is being played, the main control board 60 Information indicating that the gaming state is 1BB-B gaming is stored in the RWM 61.
Then, when the power is turned on, the setting key switch 52 is in an off state. At this time, if information indicating that the main game state is 1BB-A game is stored in the RWM 61, the main control board 60 Based on the information, the main game state is set to 1BB-A game. Similarly, when information indicating that the main game state is 1BB-B game is stored in the RWM 61, the main control board 60 sets the main game state to 1BB-B game based on this information.

However, when the setting key switch 52 is in an ON state when the power is turned on, and information indicating that the main game state is 1BB-A game or 1BB-B game is stored in the RWM 61, the main control is performed. The board 60 erases this information and puts it in a non-internal state that is in a factory shipment state.
As described above, in the 1BB-A game or the 1BB-B game, when the initialization process is performed, the information indicating that the main game state is the 1BB-A game or the 1BB-B game is deleted from the RWM 61 and shipped from the factory. Set the time.

The lottery means 63b performs lottery of the condition device for each game at the start of the game.
The “condition device” means a combination of one or a plurality of roles.
When one condition device is won, the combination included in the condition device is won.
Here, the combination of the combination of the present embodiment and its design, etc. will be described.
4 to 6 are diagrams showing the types of combinations, combinations of symbols, and payouts in the present embodiment. For example, in FIG. 4, the symbol combinations corresponding to “Replay 01” are “bell”-“red 7”-“bell”, “bell”-“black BAR”-“bell”, “bell”-“white”. BAR "-" Bell "," Bell "-" Blank "-" Bell "means that it has four types (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 this embodiment, 1BB (first type big bonus) is provided as a special combination, and two types of 1BB-A and 1BB-B are provided as 1BB.
Other special roles include MB (middle bonus, also referred to as second-type big bonus (2BB)), RB (regular bonus), SB (single bonus), etc., which are provided in this embodiment. Not.
When 1BB-A wins, no medal is paid out in the game, but the next game shifts to 1BB-A game as a special game. When 1BB-B wins, as in the case where 1BB-A wins, no medal is paid out in the game, but the next game shifts to 1BB-B game as a 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).
The replay includes replays 01 to 05 as shown in FIG.
Further, the small combination includes small combinations 01 to 27 as shown in FIGS.
For the small roles 01 to 03, the payout at the time of winning (medal payout number) is set to 7 regardless of the main game state and the number of inserted medals.

For the small roles 04 and 05, the payout at the time of winning a prize is set to 1 when not inserted inside, 1BB-A inside, and 1BB-B inside, and inside the non-inside, 1BB-A inside, And when 3 cards are inserted in the inside of 1BB-B, it is set to 3 cards, and in special games (1BB-A game, 1BB-B game), it is set to 3.
For the small role 27, the payout at the time of winning a prize is not set inside, inside 1BB-A, inside 1BB-B, and in the special game (1BB-A game, 1BB-B game) Is set to
For small combinations other than the above (small combinations 06 to 26), the payout at the time of winning is set to one regardless of the main game state and the number of inserted medals.

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 roles carried over are 1BB-A and 1BB-B, which are special roles.
When 1BB-A is won, 1BB-A winning information is carried over to the next game until 1BB-A wins. In addition, in a game carrying over 1BB-A winning information, neither 1BB-A nor 1BB-B is drawn.
Similarly, when 1BB-B is won, 1BB-B winning information is carried over to the next game until 1BB-B wins. In addition, in a game carrying over 1BB-B winning information, neither 1BB-A nor 1BB-B is drawn.

  On the other hand, small roles and replays are not carried over. In the lottery of the condition device, when a small combination or replay is won, the winning combination is valid only in the game, and the winning 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”.
In the present embodiment, a game carrying over 1BB-A winning information is referred to as “inside 1BB-A”, and a game carrying over 1BB-B winning information is referred to as “inside 1BB-B”.

  The lottery means 63b includes, for example, a random number generator for lottery (a hardware random number, a random number generator provided in the main CPU 63, etc.), a random number extractor that extracts a random number generated by the random number generator, Based on the random value extracted by the extraction means, there is provided a determination means for determining whether or not the condition device has been won and the type of the condition device that has been won.

  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 lottery table, thereby determining a condition device corresponding to the area to which the random number value belongs. For example, when the extracted random number value belongs to the 1BB-A winning area, it is determined to be 1BB-A winning, and when it belongs to the non-winning area, it is determined not to win. Note that the extracted random number may be processed by calculation and collated with the lottery table.

  The lottery table defines the types of condition devices to be selected and the winning probability of each condition device. The lottery table is provided for each main gaming state and the number of inserted medals, and each has a predetermined range of lottery areas, which are divided into winning areas and non-winning areas of each condition device, The lottery condition devices are set to a predetermined ratio so as to have a preset winning probability.

FIG. 7 is a diagram showing the types and contents of condition devices that are drawn by the lottery means 63b.
In the present embodiment, the winning numbers are “00” to “22”.
The non-winning of the winning number “00” does not win any of the condition devices.
Replay A with the winning number “01” is elected by Replay 01 alone, Replay B with the same “02” is elected by Replay 05 alone, and the small role J1 with “16” is the small role 25 alone. The small role J3 of the same “18” wins the small role 26 alone.
Furthermore, for 1BB-A with a winning number “21”, 1BB-A wins alone, and for 1BB-B with “22”, 1BB-B wins 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 C of the winning number “03”, three types of replays of replay 01, replay 02, and replay 03 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 double wins have win numbers “01” to “04”.
In addition, the replays C to D with the winning numbers “03” to “04” are those in which the replay 01 and other replays are won in duplicate. Depending on the pressing order of the stop switch 42, the types of replays that can be awarded are different. Such a replay is referred to as a “push order replay”.

As a single winning or double winning of a small role, it has winning numbers “05” to “20”.
In addition, for the small roles A to B with the winning numbers “05” to “06”, the small role 03 and the other small roles are both won, and the small roles C to D with the winning numbers “07” to “08” The small role 02 and other small roles are elected redundantly, and for the small roles E to F with the winning numbers “09” to “10”, the small role 01 and other small roles are elected redundantly, and the winning number “11”. In the small role G, the small roles 04 and 05 are won in duplicate.
In particular, for the small roles A to F with the winning numbers “05” to “10”, a plurality of small roles are won simultaneously, and the types of small roles that can be won differ depending on the pressing order of the stop switch 42. . Such a small combination is referred to as a “push order small combination”.

Furthermore, for the small role K1 of the winning number “19”, 26 types of small roles 01 to 26 are selected and the small number K2 of the winning number “20” is selected from 22 types of small numbers 06 to 27. A small role is one that will be won repeatedly.
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. 8 is a diagram showing the main game state of the winning numbers “00” to “22” and the winning probability for each inserted number of medals. In other words, FIG. 8 shows a lottery table for each main game state and the number of inserted medals.
As described above, in the present embodiment, the game state (main game state) on the main control board 60 side is not inside, inside 1BB-A, inside 1BB-B, and special game (1BB-A game, 1BB-B game).

In addition, in non-inside, in 1BB-A and in 1BB-B, two or three medals are inserted to play a game, and in special games, three medals are inserted to play a game. .
Furthermore, in FIG. 8, “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, when two non-internal cards are inserted, the number of the replay A with the winning number “01” is “8975”, so the winning probability of the replay A is “8955/65536”.

As shown in FIG. 8, when two non-internal cards are inserted, the probability of winning the winning number “00” is “1/65536”, and the winning probability of Replay A with the winning number “01” is “8975”. / 65536 ".
When two non-internal cards are inserted, the winning probability of 1BB-A with the winning number “21” is “13051/65536”, and the winning probability of 1BB-B with the winning number “22” is “0”. .
In this way, when two non-inners are won, the 1BB-A lottery is performed, but the 1BB-B lottery is not performed. And if 1BB-A is won, it will be inside 1BB-A carrying over the winning information of 1BB-A until 1BB-A wins.

Furthermore, the probability that the winning number “00” is not won when three non-internal cards are inserted is “190/65536”, unlike the case where two winning cards are inserted, but the replay A with the winning number “01” is The winning probability is “8975/65536”, which is the same as when two cards are inserted.
Furthermore, when 3 non-internal cards are inserted, unlike the case when 2 cards are inserted, the winning probability of 1BB-A with winning number “21” is “0” and the winning probability of 1BB-B with winning number “22” Is “1841/65536”.
As described above, when three non-internal sheets are inserted, the 1BB-B lottery is performed, but the 1BB-A lottery is not performed, contrary to the two-sheet insertion. And if 1BB-B is won, it will be inside 1BB-B carrying over the winning information of 1BB-B until 1BB-B wins.

In addition, when two cards inside 1BB-A are inserted, the probability that the winning number “00” is not won is “0”, and the winning probability of the replay A with the winning number “01” is “22013/65536”. .
Furthermore, when three cards in 1BB-A are inserted, the probability that the winning number “00” is not won is “2031/65536”, and the winning probability of the replay A with the winning number “01” is “8961/65536. Is.
Further, in the inside of 1BB-A, neither 1BB-A nor 1BB-B is drawn when either 2 sheets are inserted or 3 sheets are inserted.

Here, in the present embodiment, 1BB-A can be awarded only when the number of inserted medals is 2, and 1BB-B can be awarded only when the number of inserted medals is 3. Is set.
Also, in this embodiment, when a replay is won in 1BB-A, priority is given to stopping the combination of symbols corresponding to the replay to the active line rather than 1BB-A, and when a small role is won 1BB-A is set so that priority is given to stopping the combination of symbols corresponding to the small combination on the active line.

Furthermore, in the present embodiment, when two cards inside 1BB-A are inserted, the winning probability of Replay A is set to be higher than when three cards are inserted inside 1BB-A.
Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8, when 3 cards inside 1BB-A are inserted, the winning probability of Replay A is “8961/65536”, and when 2 cards inside 1BB-A are inserted, The winning probability is set to “22013/65536”.

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 8, when 2 cards inside 1BB-A are inserted, the winning probability of Replay A is when 2 cards inside non-inside, 3 cards inside non-inside are inserted, 1BB-A inside Is set to be higher than any of the time when 3 sheets are loaded and when 2 sheets are loaded inside 1BB-B.
In addition, as shown in FIG. 8, not only the winning probability of Replay A but also the total value of winning probabilities of all replays (Replays A to D) is not in the middle when two cards in 1BB-A are inserted. When 2 sheets are inserted, 3 sheets in the non-inside, 3 sheets in the 1BB-A, 2 sheets in the 1BB-B, 3 sheets in the 1BB-B Is set to be higher.
When two cards in 1BB-A are inserted, the winning probability of Replay A (the sum of the winning probabilities of all replays) is increased, thereby setting the probability that the lottery means 63b will not win to “0”. I am doing so.

For this reason, 1BB-A who has won the winning combination will not win when two cards inside 1BB-A are inserted.
Also, 1BB-A can be won only when the number of inserted medals is 2, so even if 3 lots in 1BB-A are inserted, even if the lottery means 63b is not won, 1BB-A who won is not awarded.
Therefore, after winning 1BB-A in the non-inside and not being able to win 1BB-A in the game, the player will continue to stay inside 1BB-A. .

Here, when 2 cards inside 1BB-A are inserted, the winning probability of Replay A is higher than when 3 cards are inserted inside 1BB-A, and the probability of not winning is “0”. It is necessary to adjust so that it is not too advantageous for the user.
Therefore, in this embodiment, the payout number of medals at the time of winning the small roles 04 and 05 is set to be smaller when two are inserted than when three are inserted.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, the number of medals to be paid out when winning the small roles 04 and 05 is set to “3” when three are inserted and “1” when two are inserted. Is set. In particular, since 3 coins are paid out when 3 cards are inserted, the number of medals of the player does not increase or decrease. However, when 2 cards are inserted, 1 coin is paid out, so that the player's medals decrease.

In this way, when 2 cards inside 1BB-A are inserted, the winning probability of Replay A is made higher than when 3 cards are inserted inside 1BB-A, and the probability of non-winning is set to “0”. By making the payouts of the winning combinations 04 and 05 (the number of medals to be paid out at the time of winning a prize) smaller than that when three coins are inserted in the 1BB-A, it is possible to make adjustments so as not to be too advantageous for the player.
In particular, when two coins are inserted inside the 1BB-A, the payouts of the small roles 04 and 05 are set to be less than the number of medals inserted. As a result, even if winning a small role 04 or 05, the difference number obtained by subtracting the number of inserted medals from the number of paid-out medals becomes negative, and the number of medals of the player is reduced, which is advantageous to the player. Adjustments are made so that it is not too much.

In addition, when two cards inside 1BB-B are inserted, the probability that the winning number “00” is not won is “13052/65536”, and the winning probability of the replay A with the winning number “01” is “8966/65536”. It is.
Furthermore, when three cards in 1BB-B are inserted, the probability that the winning number “00” is not won is “2031/65536”, and the winning probability of the replay A with the winning number “01” is “8966/65536”. Is.
Further, in 1BB-B, neither 1BB-A nor 1BB-B is drawn regardless of whether two sheets are inserted or three sheets are inserted.

Further, when 3 lots are inserted inside 1BB-B, if the lottery means 63b is not won, 1BB-B carrying over the winning can be won. At this time, when 1BB-B wins, the game shifts to 1BB-B game, and when the end condition of the 1BB-B game is satisfied, the game shifts to the non-internal state (returns).
Note that 1BB-B can be won only when the number of inserted medals is three, so even if two lotteries inside 1BB-B are inserted, even if the lottery means 63b does not win, 1BB-B is not awarded.

In the special game (1BB-A game, 1BB-B game), the number of inserted medals is 3, and the probability that the winning number “00” is not won is “10844/65536”.
In the special game, the winning probabilities of the replays A to D with the winning numbers “01” to “04” are “0”, and the winning probabilities of the small roles A to J3 of “05” to “18” are also “0”. However, the winning probability of the small role K1 of “19” is “15880/65536”, and the winning probability of the small role K2 of “20” is “38812/65536”.
Further, in the special game, neither 1BB-A nor 1BB-B is drawn.

In addition, in the non-internal, 1BB-A internal, 1BB-B internal, the replays A to D with the winning numbers “01” to “04” are selected in both cases when the two cards are inserted and when the three cards are inserted. In addition, there are cases in which the small roles A to J3 of “05” to “18” are elected, but the small roles K1 to K2 of “19” to “20” may be elected. do not do.
On the other hand, in the special game, there is no case where the replays A to D of the winning numbers “01” to “04” are won, and the small roles A to J3 of “05” to “18” are won. Although there is no case, there are cases where the small roles K1 to K2 of “19” to “20” are won.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 7, when winning the small role E of the winning number “09”, winning the small role F of “10”, winning the small role K1 of “19”, Win.
Then, as shown in FIG. 8, when two cards are inserted in the non-inside, 1BB-A, 1BB-B, the winning probability of the small role 01 is “11000/65536” in total, In the inside of 1BB-A, when 3 cards in 1BB-B are inserted, the winning probability of the small role 01 is “15880/65536” in total, and in the special game, the winning probability of the small role 01 is “15880/65536”. Become.
The winning probabilities of the small roles 02 and 03 are the same as the winning probability of the small role 01.

Also, as shown in FIG. 7, when winning the small role A with the winning number “05”, when winning the small role C with the same “07”, when winning the small role D with the same “08”, When winning the small role E, winning the small role K1 of “19”, winning the small role K2 of “20”, winning the small role 06.
Then, as shown in FIG. 8, when two sheets are inserted in the non-inside, 1BB-A inside, 1BB-B inside, the winning probability of the small role 06 is “22000/65536” in total, In the inside of 1BB-A, when 3 cards in 1BB-B are inserted, the winning probability of the small role 06 is “31760/65536”, and in the special game, the winning probability of the small role 06 is “54692/65536” "
The winning probability of the small role 07 is the same as the winning probability of the small role 06.

As described above, in this embodiment, for all the small roles (small roles 01 to 27), the winning probability in the special game is higher than the winning probability in the non-internal, 1BB-A internal, 1BB-B internal. It is set to be.
Therefore, it can be said that the special game is a game that is more advantageous to the player than in the non-inside, in the inside of 1BB-A, or in the inside of 1BB-B.

Also, when 3 cards in 1BB-A are inserted, the combined value of winning probabilities for small roles A to G is set to “52450/65536” (about 80%), and all replays (replays A to D) are won. The total value of the probabilities is set to “8978/65536” (about 13.7%).
For this reason, when three cards in 1BB-A are inserted, the probability of winning one of the small roles A to G is higher than the probability of winning the replay (winning one of the replays A to D). .
Further, the small roles H1 to J3 with the winning numbers “12” to “18” are positioned as “rare small roles” whose winning probability is lower than other small roles.

In FIG. 1, the main CPU 63 controls on / off of the winning flag corresponding to the winning combination included in the winning condition device based on the lottery result of the condition device by the 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. In the lottery of the condition device by the lottery means 63b, when any of the condition devices is won, the winning flag corresponding to the combination included in the condition device is turned on (the winning flag is set).
For example, when winning the replay D of the winning number “04”, as shown in FIG. 7, a total of four winning flags of the replay 01, the replay 02, the replay 03, and the replay 04 are turned on. 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.
In addition, after the lottery means 63b performs lottery of the condition device, the reel control means 63c refers to the on / off of the winning flag in the game, and generates a 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. Thus, in the present embodiment, the maximum number of moving symbols (maximum number of moving symbols) from the symbol at the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated until the reel 31 stops is set to four frames (four symbols).

For example, in FIG. 2, 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), 03 “White BAR” (2 Coma), 04 “JAC” (3 Coma), or 05 “Bell” (4 Coma) Can stop in the middle (on the active line).
As described above, in the present embodiment, in all the main game states, the stop control is performed for all the reels 31 within the above-described 190 ms (maximum of 4 pieces).

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 stopped immediately at the moment when the stop switch 42 is operated, the stop control of the reel 31 is stopped until the reel 31 is stopped when the symbol related to the winning combination does not stop on the effective line. By rotating the reel 31 within the range, 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).

  On the contrary, 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 addition, by rotating the reel 31 within the range of stop control of the reel 31, the reel 31 is controlled to stop 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. 4, assuming that a small combination 02 (seven payouts) and a small combination 08 (single payout) are won, a combination of symbols with a large number of payouts is “bell”-“ "Bell"-"Bell".
For this reason, in the priority of the number of sheets, for example, when the left reel 31 is first stopped, the symbol “Red 7”, “Black BAR”, or “JAC”, which is the symbol related to the small role 08, is given priority. Priority is given to stopping the symbol "bell" 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. 4, assuming that the small role 02 and the small role 08 have been elected redundantly, the combination of symbols of the small role that can be stopped on the active line is:
"Bell"-"Bell"-"Bell" (small role 02)
"Red 7"-"Red 7"-"Bell" (small role 08)
"Red 7"-"Black BAR"-"Bell" (small role 08)
"Black BAR"-"Red 7"-"Bell" (small role 08)
"Black BAR"-"Black BAR"-"Bell" (small role 08)
"JAC"-"Red 7"-"Bell" (small role 08)
"JAC"-"Black BAR"-"Bell" (small role 08)
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 “Red 7” is stopped on the active line, the number of symbols that can be stopped on the active line at that time is two. Similarly, when “black BAR” is stopped on the active line and when “JAC” is stopped on the active line, the number is the same.
For this reason, in the number priority, when the left reel 31 is first stopped, the symbols “red 7” and “black BAR” related to the small role 08 are given priority over the “bell” related to the small role 02. "Or" JAC "is stopped at the active line.

In addition, as in the above example, the number of symbol combinations that can be stopped on the active line is the same for each of “Red 7”, “Black BAR”, and “JAC”. Any of them 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” means that all the reels 31 are in such a combination in the combination of symbols of the role, and the case in which only certain (partial) reels 31 are so. 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. 2, “PB ≠ 1” is arranged for “black BAR” alone, and “PB ≠ 1” is arranged for “JAC” alone. However, “black BAR” or “JAC” is arranged at intervals of 5 frames (04, 09, 14, and 19). Therefore, no matter what timing the left stop switch 42 is operated, “black BAR” or “JAC” can be stopped on the active line (middle stage) within the range of the maximum number of moving frames (4 frames).

Therefore, as described above, when the small roles 02 and 08 are repeatedly elected and the number priority control is performed, when the left reel 31 is stopped, the “black BAR” or “JAC” can always be stopped. The number priority control can be performed with “PB = 1” by adding the black BAR and the JAC.
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. 2, in this embodiment, in all the reels 31, “bell” and “replay” are each arranged in “PB = 1” (interval within 5 symbols).
Further, in the left reel 31, “PB = 1” is arranged by adding “black BAR” and “JAC”.
Furthermore, in the middle and right reels 31, “JAC” is arranged in “PB = 1”, and “PB = 1” is arranged by adding “Cherry” and “Watermelon”, “Red 7”, “Black BAR”. ”,“ White BAR ”, and“ Blank ”are arranged in a“ PB = 1 ”arrangement.

As described above, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, each reel 31 is provided with a symbol display area of 20 frames, and a predetermined symbol is displayed on each frame.
In addition, as shown in FIG. 3, each reel 31 is arranged so that three symbols that are continuous in the vertical direction are displayed in the display window 13, and only one effective line is defined in the middle in the horizontal direction. .
Furthermore, in this embodiment, the maximum number of moving frames (maximum number of moving symbols) is “4”.

Here, the number of symbols displayed on each reel 31 is “N”, the maximum number of symbols to be moved is “M”, and N is a number divisible by M. In this case, when (N / M−1) target symbols are arranged at intervals within (M + 1) symbols, “PB = 1” is obtained, and are arranged at intervals exceeding (M + 1) symbols. In this case, “PB ≠ 1”.
In the present embodiment, when four ((20 / 4-1)) target symbols are arranged at intervals within five symbols ((4 + 1) symbols), “PB = 1”. When the symbols are arranged at intervals exceeding 5 symbols, “PB ≠ 1”.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 2, “bells” are arranged on the No. 05, No. 10, No. 15, and No. 20 on the left reel 31. That is, on the left reel 31, four “bells” are arranged at intervals of 5 symbols. For this reason, the “bell” of the left reel 31 has a “PB = 1” arrangement.
Further, as shown in FIG. 2, “cherry” is arranged on the No. 02 and No. 17 on the left reel 31. That is, two “cherries” are arranged at intervals exceeding 5 symbols. For this reason, the “cherry” of the left reel 31 has a “PB ≠ 1” arrangement.

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 2, “replay” is arranged on the No. 01, 06, No. 11, No. 16, and No. 18 on the left reel 31. That is, five “replays” are arranged on the left reel 31 at intervals of 5 symbols or less. Therefore, the “replay” of the left reel 31 is “PB = 1” arrangement.
Here, among the five “replays” of the left reel 31, the four “replays” of 01, 06, 11, and 16 are arranged at intervals of 5 symbols. Therefore, in the left reel 31, “PB = 1” is arranged by four “replays” of 01, 06, 11, and 16, but “replay” is also arranged in the 18th reel. That is, the “replay” exceeding the number necessary for the “PB = 1” arrangement is arranged on the left reel 31.

As shown in FIG. 2, four “replays” are arranged at intervals of 5 symbols on the middle and right reels 31, so that the “replays” of the middle and right reels 31 are “PB = 1 ”arrangement.
In addition, for “02” “cherry”, “replay” is arranged adjacent to only the lower side (01), but for “17” cherry, the upper (18) and lower ( 16) and “Replay” are arranged adjacent to each other.

When winning the small role I2, the first stop on the left and the left stop at the timing just before the 13th, 14th, 15th, 16th, or 17th symbol of the left reel 31 passes the middle stage (active line) When the switch 42 is operated, the reel control means 63c causes the 16th “replay” to stop at the lower stage, the 17th “cherry” to stop at the middle stage, and the 18th “replay” to stop at the upper stage. Then, the left reel 31 is controlled to stop. In this case, the small role 22 (strong cherry) wins.
In addition, when the “Replay” of No. 16 on the left reel 31 stops at the lower stage, the “Cherry” of No. 17 stops at the middle stage, and the “Replay” of No. 18 stops at the upper stage, A distinctive stop appearance that “replay” stops will be displayed, and a strong impression can be given to the player. Further, by simultaneously turning on / flashing the effect lamp 21 under the control of the effect output control means 83a, a stronger impression can be given to the player.

Furthermore, at the time of winning the small role I2, the first stop on the left, the timing immediately before the 19th, 20th, 01st, 02th, or 03th symbol of the left reel 31 passes the middle stage (active line) When the stop switch 42 is operated, the reel control means 63c causes the “02” “cherry” to stop at the lower level, the “03” “white BAR” to stop at the middle level, and the “04” “JAC” to stop at the upper level. Thus, the left reel 31 is controlled to stop. In this case, the small role 24 (strong cherry) wins.
Further, when winning the small role 24, there is a case where “cherry”-“cherry”-“cherry” (upward triple cherry) stops on the diagonally upward symbol combination line (invalid line).

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 corresponding to each on / off state of the winning flag, that is, for each lottery result of the condition device by the 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 1BB-A table is used when only the winning flag of 1BB-A is on, and within the range of the stop control of the reel 31, the combination of symbols corresponding to 1BB-A is stopped on the effective line, and 1BB The stop position of the reel 31 is determined so that a combination of symbols corresponding to a combination other than -A is not stopped on the effective line.

In this embodiment, 1BB-A is won in the game that is won by 1BB-A when two cards in the non-inside are inserted, or in the game that is not won by the lottery means 63b when two pieces in the inside of 1BB-A are inserted. Only the flag is turned on.
However, in this embodiment, the probability that the lottery means 63b will not win in the case of winning two sheets in the 1BB-A is “0”.
Therefore, in the present embodiment, only 1BB-A winning flag is turned on only in the game where 1BB-A wins 1BB-A when two non-internal cards are inserted.

Also, as shown in FIG. 4, the combination of symbols of 1BB-A is “red 7”-“cherry”-“white BAR”.
Furthermore, “red 7” of the left reel 31, “cherry” of the middle reel 31, and “white BAR” of the right reel 31 are all arranged in “PB ≠ 1”.
Therefore, there is a case where the winning of 1BB-A is missed in the game won by 1BB-A when two non-internal cards are inserted. If the 1BB-A winning is missed, the inside of the 1BB-A is started from the next game.

The 1BB-B table is used when only the winning flag of 1BB-B is ON, and within the range of the stop control of the reel 31, the combination of symbols corresponding to 1BB-B is stopped on the effective line, and 1BB The stop position of the reel 31 is determined so that the combination of symbols corresponding to the combination other than -B is not stopped on the effective line.
In this embodiment, 1BB-B is won in the game that is won by 1BB-B when 3 cards are inserted in the non-interior or in the game that is not won by the lottery means 63b when 3 cards are inserted in the 1BB-B. Only the flag is turned on.

Moreover, as shown in FIG. 4, the combination of symbols of 1BB-B is "red 7"-"cherry"-"blank".
Furthermore, “Red 7” of the left reel 31, “Cherry” of the middle reel 31, and “Blank” of the right reel 31 are all arranged in “PB ≠ 1”.
Therefore, there is a case in which 1BB-B winning is missed in the game that is won 1BB-B when three non-internal cards are inserted. If the 1BB-B winning is missed, the inside of the 1BB-B is started from the next game.

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”.
At the time of Replay 01 winning, “Replay”-“Replay”-“Replay” is stopped in the straight line pattern combination line (invalid line) passing through the upper stage of each reel 31. Further, by simultaneously turning on / flashing the effect lamp 21 under the control of the effect output control means 83a, a stronger impression can be given to the player.

The replay B table is used when the replay B is won, and within the range of stop control of the reel 31, the replay 05 (PB = 1) is won and the reel 31 is stopped so that no role other than the replay 05 is won. Is defined.
In the case of winning the replay 05, there is a case where “JAC”-“JAC”-“JAC” stops in the symbol combination line (effective line) in the middle in the horizontal direction. 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 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 replay C table wins replay 01 (PB = 1) at the left or middle first stop, and replay 01 (PB = 1), replay 02 (PB ≠ 1) at the right first stop, or The stop position of the reel 31 is determined so that replay 03 (PB ≠ 1) is won.

Also, at the time of the first right stop at the time of replay C winning, priority is given to stopping the “white BAR” corresponding to the replay 02 or 03 on the active line, and when the “white BAR” cannot be stopped on the active line The right reel 31 is controlled to stop so that the “bell” corresponding to the replay 01 is stopped on the active line.
Also, if “White BAR” is stopped on the active line during the first stop on the right when Replay C is won, priority is given to stopping “White BAR” corresponding to Replay 02 on the active line during the second stop. If the “white BAR” cannot be stopped on the active line, the middle reel 31 is controlled to stop so that “replay” corresponding to the replay 03 is stopped on the active line.

Furthermore, if “White BAR” stops on the active line at the first stop on the right when Replay C is elected, and “White BAR” stops on the active line at the second stop in the middle, the replay is performed at the third stop on the left. The left reel 31 is controlled so as to stop “JAC” or “Bell” corresponding to 02 on the active line.
Furthermore, if “White BAR” is stopped on the active line at the first right stop at the time of Replay C winning, and “Replay” is stopped on the active line at the second middle stop, the replay 03 is set at the third left stop. The left reel 31 is controlled to stop so that the corresponding “bell” is stopped at the active line.
In addition, if “Bell” stops on the active line without stopping “White BAR” on the active line at the time of the first right stop at the time of Replay C winning, the symbol corresponding to Replay 01 is enabled at the middle and left stop. The reel 31 is controlled so as to stop at the line.

The replay D table is used when the replay D 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 this embodiment, the replay D table wins replay 01 (PB = 1) at the left or middle first stop, and replay 01 (PB = 1), replay 02 (PB ≠ 1), replay at the first right stop. The stop position of the reel 31 is determined so that 03 (PB ≠ 1) or Replay 04 (PB ≠ 1) is won.

In addition, at the time of the first right stop at the time of winning Replay D, priority is given to stopping “White BAR” corresponding to Replay 02, 03 or 04 on the effective line, and “White BAR” cannot be stopped on the effective line. At that time, the right reel 31 is controlled to stop so that the “bell” corresponding to the replay 01 is stopped on the active line.
Also, if “White BAR” stops on the active line at the first stop on the right when Replay D is selected, “White BAR” corresponding to Replay 02 or 04 must be stopped on the active line at the second stop. When the “white BAR” cannot be stopped on the active line, the middle reel 31 is controlled so as to stop “replay” corresponding to the replay 02 or 03 on the active line.

Furthermore, if “White BAR” stops on the active line at the right first stop when Replay D is won, and “White BAR” or “Replay” stops on the active line at the middle second stop, When stopping, priority is given to stopping “White BAR” corresponding to Replay 04 on the effective line, and when “White BAR” cannot be stopped on the effective line, “Bell” corresponding to Replay 03 is set to the effective line. The left reel 31 is controlled so as to be stopped.
Furthermore, if “BELL” stops on the active line without stopping “White BAR” on the active line at the time of the first right stop at the time of Replay D winning, the symbol corresponding to Replay 01 is enabled at the middle and left stop. The reel 31 is controlled so as to stop at the line.

  In the case of winning the replay 04, there is a case where “white BAR” − “white BAR” − “white BAR” is stopped on the symbol combination line (effective line) in the middle in the horizontal direction. 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 small role A table is used when the small role A is won (when the winning flags of the small role 03, the small role 06, the small role 08, and the small role 10 are turned on), and within the range of the stop control of the reel 31, the stop switch 42 is used. The stop position of the reel 31 is determined so that the selected small combination 03, small combination 06, small combination 08, or small combination 10 is won (becomes possible).
Here, the “operation mode” of the stop switch 42 is a concept including both “push order” and “operation timing”.
When winning a small role A, there is a correct answer pressing order and an incorrect answer pressing order, the correct answer pressing order is left middle right (forward pressing), and the other five pressing orders are incorrect answer pressing orders. In the correct answer pressing order, the small role 03 can be won by the above-mentioned number priority, and in the incorrect answer pressing order, the small role 06, the small role 08, or the small role 10 can be won by the above-mentioned number priority.

In the small combination A table, at the time of the first left stop (push order correct answer), the left reel 31 is controlled to stop the “black BAR” or “JAC” corresponding to the small combination 03 on the effective line with priority on the number of sheets. To do.
Also, during the middle first stop (push order incorrect answer), if the “bell” corresponding to the small role 06 is stopped on the active line, the maximum number (3) of symbol combinations that can be stopped is reached. Therefore, the middle reel 31 is controlled to stop so that the “bell” is stopped on the effective line with the number priority.

Furthermore, when the right first stop (push order incorrect answer), if the “bell” corresponding to the small role 08 is stopped on the active line, the maximum number (6) of symbol combinations that can be stopped is Therefore, the right reel 31 is controlled to stop so that the “bell” is stopped on the effective line with the number priority.
In addition, “black BAR” and “JAC” of the left reel 31 are combined and “PB = 1” is arranged, and “bell” of the middle and right reel 31 is “PB = 1” arranged.

From the above, when winning the small role A,
First stop left (correct order of pushing): “Black BAR / JAC”-“Rotating”-“Rotating”
During first stop (incorrect push order): "Rotating"-"Bell"-"Rotating"
When stopping right first (push order incorrect answer): "Rotating"-"Rotating"-"Bell"
It becomes.

(1) First left stop: “Black BAR / JAC”-“Rotating”-“Rotating”
When the second stop is middle, the correct answer is pushed. In this case, since the small role 03 is won with priority on the number of sheets, the “replay” of the middle reel 31 is stopped at the active line. Further, at the time of the third stop on the right, “JAC” of the right reel 31 is stopped on the effective line.
The “replay” of the middle reel 31 and the “JAC” of the right reel 31 are all arranged in “PB = 1”, and therefore can always be stopped at the effective line.

As a result, when the correct answer in the pressing order at the time of winning the small role A (when the pressing order is left middle right), the small role 03 wins and 7 medals are paid out.
In the case of winning the small role 03, “bell”-“bell”-“bell” stops at a straight line pattern combination line (invalid line) passing through the upper part of each reel 31 in the horizontal direction.

When the second stop on the right, the push order is incorrect. In this case, the number priority is adopted without performing the number priority. At the second stop on the right, if the “replay” corresponding to the small role 10 is stopped, the maximum number (6) of symbol combinations that can be stopped at that time is stopped, so “replay” is stopped on the active line. The right reel 31 is controlled to stop so that the
Since the “replay” of the right reel 31 has the “PB = 1” arrangement, it can always be stopped at the effective line.

At the time of the middle third stop, the middle reel 31 is controlled to stop so that “watermelon”, “cherry” or “blank” corresponding to the small part 10 is stopped on the effective line.
When the combination of symbols corresponding to the small combination 10 stops on the active line, the small combination 04 is won, and one medal is paid out.
Since “watermelon”, “cherry”, and “blank” of the middle reel 31 are arranged in a total of “PB = 1”, one of the symbols can always be stopped at the effective line.

(2) During the first stop: "Rotating"-"Bell"-"Rotating"
At the time of the second left stop, the left reel 31 is controlled to stop so that the “black BAR” corresponding to the small part 06 is stopped on the active line.
Since the “black BAR” of the left reel 31 is “PB ≠ 1”, there is a case where it cannot be stopped (missed) on the effective line.

When the “black BAR” of the left reel 31 stops at the effective line at the second left stop, “JAC”, “watermelon” or “cherry” corresponding to the small role 06 stops at the effective line at the third right stop The right reel 31 is controlled to stop so that the Then, when the symbol combination corresponding to the small combination 06 stops on the active line, the small combination 06 is won and one medal is paid out.
Since “JAC”, “watermelon”, and “cherry” on the right reel 31 are arranged in a total of “PB = 1”, any symbol can always be stopped at the active line.

At the second stop on the right, the right reel 31 is controlled to stop so that “JAC”, “Watermelon” or “Cherry” corresponding to the small role 06 is stopped on the active line.
As described above, “JAC”, “Watermelon”, and “Cherry” of the right reel 31 are arranged in a “PB = 1” arrangement, so that any symbol can always be stopped at the effective line.

At the time of the third left stop, the left reel 31 is controlled to stop so that the “black BAR” corresponding to the small part 06 is stopped on the active line. When “Black BAR” stops on the active line, the small role 06 is won and one medal is paid out.
As described above, since the “black BAR” 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"-"Bell"
At the time of the second left stop, the left reel 31 is controlled to stop so that “red 7”, “black BAR” or “JAC” corresponding to the small part 08 is stopped on the active line.
Since “Red 7”, “Black BAR”, and “JAC” of the left reel 31 are combined to be “PB = 1”, any of the symbols can always be stopped at the effective line.

At the middle third stop, the middle reel 31 is controlled to stop so that “red 7” or “black BAR” corresponding to the small part 08 is stopped on the active line. When “Red 7” or “Black BAR” stops on the active line, the small role 08 is won and one medal is paid out.
In addition, since “Red 7” and “Black BAR” of the middle reel 31 are combined and “PB ≠ 1” is arranged, there is a case where it cannot be stopped (missed) on the effective line.

At the time of the second middle stop, the middle reel 31 is controlled to stop so that “red 7” or “black BAR” corresponding to the small part 08 is stopped on the active line.
As described above, since “red 7” and “black BAR” of the middle reel 31 are arranged in a total of “PB ≠ 1”, there is a case where it cannot be stopped (missed) on the effective line.

When “Red 7” or “Black BAR” of the middle reel 31 stops at the active line at the time of the middle second stop, “Red 7”, “Black BAR” or “ The left reel 31 is controlled to stop so that “JAC” is stopped on the active line.
As described above, “red 7”, “black BAR”, and “JAC” of the left reel 31 are “PB = 1” in total, so that any symbol can always be stopped at the effective line.
Then, when “Red 7”, “Black BAR” or “JAC” of the left reel 31 stops on the active line, the small role 08 is won and one medal is paid out.

In the case of winning a small role B to F, as in the case of winning a small role A, winning a small role 01-03 (7 sheets payout) when the correct answer is pressed, and winning other than the small role 01-03 when the correct answer is incorrect The reel 31 is controlled to stop so that a winning combination (one payout) is won or a winning combination is missed.
In the case of winning the small role 01, “bell”-“bell”-“bell” stops at a straight line symbol combination line (invalid line) passing through the lower stage of each reel 31.
Further, when winning the small role 02, “bell”-“bell”-“bell” stops in the symbol combination line (effective line) in the middle in the horizontal direction.

Furthermore, when “Bell”-“Black BAR”-“Replay” corresponding to the small role 14 stops at the symbol combination line (effective line) corresponding to the small role C at the time of winning the small role C, it is a straight line in the diagonally upward direction. There is a case where “black BAR” − “black BAR” − “black BAR” (black BAR alignment) stops in the symbol combination line (invalid line).
In the present embodiment, the black BAR alignment in the diagonally upward direction is set to be able to stop only inside 1BB-B and not to stop inside 1BB-A.

The small role G table is used when the small role G is won (when the winning flags of the small role 04 and the small role 05 are turned on), and within the range of the stop control of the reel 31, the winning combination is selected according to the pressing order of the stop switch 42. The stop position of the reel 31 is determined so that the small role 04 or the small role 05 is won (becomes possible).
In the small role G table, when the left first stop and the pressing order are middle and left and right, the symbol combination corresponding to the small role 04 (PB = 1) is stopped on the effective line, and the right first stop and the pressing order Is left / right / left / right, the reel 31 is controlled to stop so that the combination of symbols corresponding to the small part 05 (PB = 1) is stopped on the effective line.

The small role H1 table is used when the small role H1 is won (when the winning flags of the small role 17, the small role 20, and the small role 21 are turned on), and within the range of the 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 so that the small role 20 (weak watermelon) is won.
As shown in FIG. 5, the combination of symbols corresponding to the small combination 20 is “watermelon”-“watermelon”-“watermelon” (middle stage watermelon).

Further, since the symbol related to the small role 20 has the “PB ≠ 1” arrangement in any of the reels 31, there is a case where the symbol cannot be stopped (missed) on the effective line.
Note that in the small combination H1, the small combination 17 and the small combination 21 are provided as control combinations (for providing a plurality of condition devices), and are not actual winning combinations.

The small role H2 table is used when the small role H2 is won (when the winning flags of the small role 17, the small role 20, the small role 21, and the small role 26 are turned on), and the reel 31 is stopped regardless of the pressing order of the stop switch 42. Within the range of control, the stop position of the reel 31 is determined so that the small role 21 (strong watermelon) is awarded.
As shown in FIG. 5, the combination of symbols corresponding to the small role 21 is “black BAR / blank” − “watermelon” − “red 7 / black BAR”.

When the symbol combination corresponding to the small role 21 stops on the active line, “watermelon”-“watermelon”-“watermelon” (watermelon that rises to the right) appears in the straight symbol combination line (invalid line) in the diagonally upward direction. Stop.
In addition, since the symbol related to the small role 21 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.
In the small combination H2, the small combination 17, the small combination 20, and the small combination 26 are provided as control combinations, and are not actual winning combinations.

The small role I1 table is used when the small role I1 is won (when the winning flags of the small role 22 and the small role 23 are turned on), and 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 so as to win 23 (weak cherry).
As shown in FIG. 6, the combination of symbols corresponding to the small role 23 is “white BAR / replay”-“watermelon / cherry”-“watermelon / cherry”.

When the combination of symbols corresponding to the small part 23 stops at the active line, there is a case where “cherry” (corner cherry) stops at the lower stage of the left reel 31.
In addition, since the symbols related to the small combination 23 are “PB = 1” in all reels 31, the symbols can be always stopped at the effective line.
Note that in the small combination I1, the small combination 22 is provided as a control combination and is not an actual winning combination.

The small role I2 table is used when the small role I2 is won (when the winning flags of the small role 22, the small role 23, and the small role 24 are turned on), and within the range of the 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 so that the small combination 22 or the small combination 24 (both are strong cherries) is won.
As shown in FIG. 6, there are 12 combinations of symbols corresponding to the small role 22, and 16 combinations of symbols corresponding to the small role 24.

The symbols relating to the small role 22 are arranged “PB = 1” alone or in total in any of the reels 31. In addition, the symbols related to the small combination 26 are arranged “PB = 1” in any reel 31 in total. Therefore, when winning the small combination I2, the small combination 22 or the small combination 24 is always won.
Note that in the small combination I2, the small combination 23 is provided as a control combination and is not an actual winning combination.

  Also, when winning the small role I2, the first stop on the left, the left stop at the timing just before the 13th, 14th, 15th, 16th, or 17th symbol of the left reel 31 passes the middle stage (active line) When the switch 42 is operated, the reel control means 63c causes the 16th “replay” to stop at the lower stage, the 17th “cherry” to stop at the middle stage, and the 18th “replay” to stop at the upper stage. Then, the left reel 31 is controlled to stop. In this case, the small role 22 (strong cherry) wins.

As described above, there is a case where “cherry” (middle cherry) stops at the middle stage of the left reel 31 when winning the small role 22.
In addition, when the “Replay” of No. 16 on the left reel 31 stops at the lower stage, the “Cherry” of No. 17 stops at the middle stage, and the “Replay” of No. 18 stops at the upper stage, A distinctive stop appearance that “replay” stops will be displayed, and a strong impression can be given to the player.

Furthermore, at the time of winning the small role I2, the first stop on the left, the timing immediately before the 19th, 20th, 01st, 02th, or 03th symbol of the left reel 31 passes the middle stage (active line) When the stop switch 42 is operated, the reel control means 63c causes the “02” “cherry” to stop at the lower level, the “03” “white BAR” to stop at the middle level, and the “04” “JAC” to stop at the upper level. Thus, the left reel 31 is controlled to stop. In this case, the small role 24 (strong cherry) wins.
Further, when winning the small role 24, there is a case where “cherry”-“cherry”-“cherry” (upward triple cherry) stops on the diagonally upward symbol combination line (invalid line).

The small role J1 table is used when winning the small role J1 (when the winning flag of the small role 25 is turned on) so that the small role 25 is awarded within the range of stop control of the reel 31 regardless of the pressing order of the stop switch 42. Further, the stop position of the reel 31 is determined.
The small role J2 table is used when the small role J2 is won (when the winning flags of the small role 16 and the small role 17 are turned on), and 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 so that 16 or 17 is won.
The small role J3 table is used when winning the small role J3 (when the winning flag of the small role 26 is turned on) so that the small role 26 is awarded within the range of stop control of the reel 31 regardless of the pressing order of the stop switch 42. Further, the stop position of the reel 31 is determined.

The small role K1 table is used when the small role K1 is won (when the winning flags of the small roles 01 to 26 are turned on), and 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 so that any one of 26 is awarded.
The small role K2 table is used when the small role K2 is won (when each winning flag of the small roles 06 to 27 is turned on), and within the range of stop control of the reel 31, the small roles 06 to The stop position of the reel 31 is determined so that any one of 27 is awarded.

The non-winning table is used in a game in which no winning combination is won (when all winning flags are off), and the reel 31 is stopped so that the combination of symbols corresponding to any winning combination does not stop on the active line. The position is determined.
In the present embodiment, when the lottery means 63b is not won when two non-inner cards are inserted, and when the lottery means 63b is not selected when three non-inner cards are inserted, all the winning flags are set. Since it is off, the non-winning table will be used.

In addition, in the case of non-winning when 3 cards are inserted in 1BB-A, the winning information of 1BB-A is carried over, but all winning flags including 1BB-A winning flag are off, so it is not won A table will be used.
Furthermore, at the time of non-winning when 2 sheets inside 1BB-B are inserted, the winning information of 1BB-B is carried over, but all winning flags including the winning flag of 1BB-B are off. The winning table will be used.

When two coins in 1BB-A are inserted, if a small combination or replay is won, the winning flags of both 1BB-A and the small combination or replay are turned on. At this time, a stop position determination table that prioritizes a winning combination of a winning combination or replay in the game is used.
For example, when a small combination A is won when two cards are inserted inside 1BB-A, in addition to the winning flag of 1BB-A, small combination 03, small combination 06, small combination 08 corresponding to small combination A, And the winning flag of the small role 10 is turned on.

At this time, priority is given to stopping the combination of symbols corresponding to any of the small roles 03, 06, 08 and 10 corresponding to the small role A won in the game on the active line. When the combination of symbols corresponding to these combinations cannot be stopped on the effective line, the reel 31 is controlled to stop so that the combination of symbols corresponding to 1BB-A is stopped on the effective line.
Further, when the symbol combination corresponding to 1BB-A cannot be stopped on the effective line, the reel 31 is controlled to stop so that the symbol combination corresponding to any combination is not stopped on the effective line.

Here, in this embodiment, when two small coins are inserted into 1BB-A, when the small roles A to J3 are won, the symbols constituting the small roles are always displayed in the effective line regardless of the pressing order. The symbols constituting 1BB-A are not stopped on the active line. Therefore, 1BB-A will not win.
Similarly, when two replays inside 1BB-A are inserted, when replays A to D are won, the symbols constituting the replay are always stopped at the active line regardless of the pressing order, and 1BB-A Does not stop the symbols that make up the active line. Therefore, 1BB-A will not win.

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 8, the probability that the lottery means 63b will not win when the two cards in 1BB-A are inserted is set to “0”.
Therefore, 1BB-A who has won the prize won't win when 2 cards inside 1BB-A are inserted.

If you win a small role or replay when 3 cards are inserted inside 1BB-A, the winning information of 1BB-A is off, but the winning flag of 1BB-A is off, and the winning of the small role or replay Only the flag is turned on. At this time, the stop position determination table corresponding to the small role or replay won in the game is used.
For example, when winning 3 small coins in 1BB-A, if the small role A is won, the winning flags of the small roles 03, 06, 08 and 10 corresponding to the small role A are turned on. Become. At this time, the reel 31 is controlled to stop using the above-described small role A table.

Further, as shown in FIG. 8, the probability that the lottery means 63b will not win when the three cards in 1BB-A are inserted is set to “2031/65536”.
And, when 3 lots in 1BB-A are inserted, if the lottery means 63b is not won, all winning flags including 1BB-A winning flags are included, although the winning information of 1BB-A is carried over. Is off. At this time, the non-winning table is used.
Therefore, 1BB-A who has won the prize will not win when 3 cards inside 1BB-A are inserted.

In this way, in 1BB-A, 1BB-A who has won the winning combination will not win either when two cards are inserted or when three cards are inserted.
Therefore, after winning 1BB-A in the non-inside and not being able to win 1BB-A in the game, the player will continue to stay inside 1BB-A. .

If you win a small role or replay when 2 cards inside 1BB-B are inserted, the winning information of 1BB-B is turned off, but the winning combination of 1BB-B is off, Only the flag is turned on. At this time, the stop position determination table corresponding to the small role or replay won in the game is used.
For example, when two small coins are inserted in 1BB-B, if the winning combination of the small role A is selected, the winning flags of the small role 03, the small role 06, the small role 08 and the small role 10 corresponding to the small role A are turned on. Become. At this time, the reel 31 is controlled to stop using the above-described small role A table.

Also, as shown in FIG. 8, the probability that the lottery means 63b will not win when two cards are inserted inside 1BB-B is set to “13052/65536”.
When two lots inside 1BB-B are inserted and the lottery means 63b is not won, all winning flags including 1BB-B winning flags are included, although the winning information of 1BB-B is carried over. Turns off. At this time, the non-winning table is used.
Therefore, 1BB-B carrying over winning will not win when two cards inside 1BB-B are inserted.

When a small combination or replay is won when three cards in 1BB-B are inserted, the winning flags for both 1BB-B and the small combination or replay are turned on. At this time, a stop position determination table that prioritizes a winning combination of a winning combination or replay in the game is used.
For example, when winning 3 small coins in 1BB-B, when winning a small role A, in addition to the winning flag of 1BB-B, small role 03 corresponding to small role A, small role 06, small role 08, And the winning flag of the small role 10 is turned on.

At this time, priority is given to stopping the combination of symbols corresponding to any of the small roles 03, 06, 08 and 10 corresponding to the small role A won in the game on the active line. When the combination of symbols corresponding to these combinations cannot be stopped on the effective line, the reel 31 is controlled to stop so that the combination of symbols corresponding to 1BB-B is stopped on the effective line.
Furthermore, when the symbol combination corresponding to 1BB-B cannot be stopped on the effective line, the reel 31 is controlled to stop so that the symbol combination corresponding to any combination is not stopped on the effective line.

Here, in the present embodiment, when the three small coins A to J3 are won at the time of inserting three pieces inside the 1BB-B, the symbols constituting the small role are always displayed in the effective line regardless of the pressing order. The symbols constituting 1BB-B are not stopped on the active line. Therefore, 1BB-B will not win.
Similarly, when the replays A to D are selected when 3 cards in the 1BB-B are inserted, the symbols constituting the replay are always stopped at the effective line regardless of the pressing order. Does not stop the symbols that make up the active line. Therefore, 1BB-B will not win.

Also, as shown in FIG. 8, the probability that the lottery means 63b will not win when the three cards in 1BB-B are inserted is set to “2031/65536”.
When three lots in 1BB-B are inserted and the lottery means 63b is not won, only the 1BB-B winning flag that has been won is turned on and the 1BB-B table is used. At this time, 1BB-B can be won, and when 1BB-B wins, the game shifts from the next game to the 1BB-B game as a special game.

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. Further, when the start switch 41 is operated, the lottery means 63b performs lottery of the condition device.

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 gaming state control means 63f, RT state control means 63g, and internal state control means 63h, and the sub CPU 83 of the sub control board 80 has sub gaming state control. Means 83b are provided.
In the present embodiment, the game state (main game state) on the main control board 60 side includes a normal game and a special game, and the normal game is not inside (2 or 3), 1BB- It has A inside (2 throws or 3 throws) and 1BB-B inside (2 throws or 3 throws). As a special game, 1BB-A game (3 throws) and 1BB-B game ( 3).

Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the main control board 60 side has a plurality of RT states separately from the main game state. Specifically, the RT state includes non-RT, RT1, and RT2.
Further, in the present embodiment, the main control board 60 side has a plurality of internal states separately from the main game state. Specifically, the internal state includes an internal state A (normal), an internal state B (high accuracy), an internal state C (a precursor), and an internal state D (AT).

  Further, in the present embodiment, as the gaming state (sub gaming state) on the sub control board 80 side, sub gaming state A (non-AT), sub gaming state B (AT normal), sub gaming state C (additional battle preparation), Sub gaming state D (additional battle), sub gaming state E (continuation battle preparation), sub gaming state F (continuation battle), sub gaming state G (ascension preparation), sub gaming state H (ascension), and sub gaming state I (Preparation for completion).

The gaming state control means 63f controls the transition of the main gaming state, the RT state control means 63g controls the transition of the RT state, and the internal state control means 63h determines the main gaming state by the gaming state control means 63f. The internal state transition is controlled independently of the transition control.
The sub gaming state control means 83b controls the transition of the sub gaming state.
In particular, in the present embodiment, the internal state is shifted between A to D while the main game state is staying inside 1BB-A.

When the internal state on the main control board 60 side is A to C, the sub game state is set to A on the sub control board 80 side.
Furthermore, when the internal state on the main control board 60 side shifts from C to D, on the sub control board 80 side, the sub gaming state shifts from A to B.
Further, when the internal state on the main control board 60 side is D, on the sub control board 80 side, the sub game state is shifted between B to I.

In the present embodiment, the internal state control means 63h on the main control board 60 side determines whether to perform AT (AT lottery) and controls (manages) the start of AT.
Further, after the AT is started, the sub game state control means 83b on the sub control board 80 side controls (manages) the addition of the difference number of medals in the AT (net increase number), the continuation of the AT, and the end of the AT. . When the AT is terminated on the sub control board 80 side, the internal state is shifted from D to A on the main control board 60 side.

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” is a condition device that is advantageous / disadvantageous to the player in accordance with the operation (pushing order and / or operation timing) of the stop switch 42 (in the case of single winning of one role and overlapping winning of multiple roles) This means a sub game state in which operation information of the stop switch 42 that is most advantageous to the player is notified.
If AT is executed during RT, RT and AT (ART) are set.

  In the present embodiment, during AT, when a small combination A to F (push order small combination) is won, the push order (correct answer push order) in which the small combinations 01 to 03 wins and 7 sheets are paid out is notified. On the other hand, during non-AT, the correct pressing order is not notified. Thereby, during AT, if the player operates the stop switch 42 according to the notification, the small combination 01 to 03 can be won when the small combination A to F (push order small combination) is won.

Specifically, in this embodiment, when the internal state on the main control board 60 side is D and the sub game state on the sub control board 80 side is B to H, it is in AT, and the small roles A to F ( Push order small role) Notifies the correct push order when winning.
On the other hand, when the internal state on the main control board 60 side is A to C and the sub game state on the sub control board 80 side is A, it becomes non-AT, and a small combination A to F (push order small combination) The correct push order will not be announced when winning.

In addition, when the internal state on the main control board 60 side is D and the sub game state on the sub control board 80 side is I, it becomes non-AT, and the correct answer is pushed at the time of winning the small role A to F (push order small role) The order is not reported.
In some cases, the correct pressing order may be notified when the small combination A to F (push order small combination) is won during non-AT.

FIG. 9 is a diagram for explaining the transition of the main gaming state and the RT state, and FIG. 10 is a diagram for explaining the transition of the internal state. Hereinafter, referring to FIG. 9 and FIG. 10, the transition control of the main gaming state by the gaming state control means 63f, the transition control of the RT state by the RT state control means 63g, and the transition control of the internal state by the internal state control means 63h. explain.
The gaming state control means 63f is in the special role (1BB-A, 1BB-B) winning, the special role (1BB-A, 1BB-B) winning, and the special game (1BB-A game, 1BB-B game). The main gaming state is shifted based on the number of medals paid out.

First, when two non-internal cards are inserted, the 1BB-A lottery is performed, but the 1BB-B lottery is not performed. Then, when two non-inner cards are inserted, 1BB-A is won, and when the won 1BB-A does not win in the game, the game state control means 63f starts from the next game to the inside of 1BB-A. Transition.
The transition from non-internal to 1BB-A internal is 1BB-A when 1BB-A is won, when all reels 31 are stopped in the game won by 1BB-A, or when 1BB-A is won. You may perform at the time of determination of non-winning.

In addition, when two non-internal cards are inserted, 1BB-A is won, and when the won 1BB-A wins the game, the game state control means 63f shifts from the next game to the 1BB-A game. That is, the game moves from the non-inside to the 1BB-A game without going through the inside of the 1BB-A.
When transitioning to the inside of 1BB-A, the gaming state control means 63f continues inside the 1BB-A until 1BB-A wins. When 1BB-A wins in 1BB-A, the game state control means 63f shifts from the next game to the 1BB-A game.

  Here, as described above, when two cards inside 1BB-A are inserted, the probability of non-winning is “0”, and at the time of replay winning, the combination of symbols corresponding to replay is set to the effective line from 1BB-A. Priority is given to stopping, and when winning a small role, priority is given to stopping the combination of symbols corresponding to the small role on the active line rather than 1BB-A, so 1BB-A who has won the winning combination will not win .

In addition, when three cards inside 1BB-A are inserted, although the winning information of 1BB-A is carried over, the winning flag of 1BB-A is never turned on, so 1BB-A will not win. In addition, when winning 3 small bonuses in the 1BB-A, only the winning role will be awarded, and when winning the replay, only the replay won will be awarded. do not do.
Therefore, after winning 1BB-A in the non-inner state and not being able to win 1BB-A in the game, the player will continue to stay inside 1BB-A after moving into the inside of 1BB-A. .

In addition, when three non-internal cards are inserted, the 1BB-B lottery is performed, but the 1BB-A lottery is not performed. And when 1BB-B is won when 3 non-internal cards are inserted, and the won 1BB-B does not win in the game, the game state control means 63f starts from the next game to 1BB-B inside. Transition.
The transition from non-internal to 1BB-B internal is 1BB-B when 1BB-B is won, when all reels 31 are stopped in a game won by 1BB-B, or when 1BB-B is won. You may perform at the time of determination of non-winning.

Further, when three non-internal cards are inserted, 1BB-B is won, and when the won 1BB-B wins in the game, the game state control means 63f shifts from the next game to the 1BB-B game. That is, the game moves from the non-inside to the 1BB-B game without going through the inside of the 1BB-B.
When transitioning to the inside of 1BB-B, the gaming state control means 63f continues inside the 1BB-B until 1BB-B wins. When 1BB-B wins in the 1BB-B, the game state control means 63f shifts the main game state from the next game to the 1BB-B game.

  Here, when two cards inside 1BB-B are inserted, the winning information of 1BB-B is carried over, but the winning flag of 1BB-B is never turned on, so 1BB-B will not win. . In addition, when winning a small role when 2 cards are inserted inside 1BB-B, only the selected small role can be awarded, and when winning a replay, only the replay that has been won can be awarded. do not do.

In addition, when winning a replay when 3 cards are inserted inside the 1BB-B, priority is given to stopping the combination of symbols corresponding to the replay to the active line over the 1BB-B, and when a small role is selected, the small role is compared to the 1BB-B. Since priority is given to stopping the combination of symbols corresponding to “1” on the active line, 1BB-B carrying over winning will not win.
However, at the time of non-winning when 3 sheets are inserted in 1BB-A, 1BB-B carrying over winning can be won. At this time, when 1BB-B wins, the game state control means 63f shifts from the next game to the 1BB-B game.

In the 1BB-A game and the 1BB-B game, the number of inserted medals is 3, the probability of non-winning is “10844/65536”, and the winning probabilities of replays A to D and small roles A to J3 are “0”. Thus, the winning probability of the small role K1 is “15880/65536”, and the winning probability of the small role K2 is “38812/65536”.
In addition, the game state control means 63f continues the 1BB-A game until the 1BB-A game end condition is satisfied when the game shifts to the 1BB-A game, and 1BB- when the game state control means 63f shifts to the 1BB-B game. The 1BB-B game is continued until the B game end condition is satisfied.
The end condition of 1BB-A game is set that the number of medals paid out during 1BB-A game is equal to or greater than a predetermined number (16), and the end condition of 1BB-B game is the medal in 1BB-B game The number of payouts is set to be equal to or more than another predetermined number (170).

Further, the game state control means 63f ends the 1BB-A game in the game when the payout number of medals in the 1BB-A game becomes 16 or more. Similarly, when the number of medals to be paid out during the 1BB-B game reaches 170 or more, the 1BB-B game is terminated in the game. Then, the next game is transferred (returned) to the non-inside.
As described above, the gaming state control means 63f determines whether or not the transition state of the main gaming state is satisfied in each main gaming state. Transition to the main game state.

The RT state control means 63g controls the transition of the RT state.
The RT state control means 63g sets the RT state to non-RT when two or three sheets are inserted in the non-internal state, and sets the RT state to RT1 when two or three sheets are inserted into the 1BB-A. The RT state is set to RT2 when 2 or 3 sheets are inserted in 1BB-B.

The internal state control means 63h controls the transition of the internal state.
Here, the internal state A (normal) is an internal state that stays at a normal time, and the internal state B (high accuracy) is an internal state in which the winning probability of AT lottery is higher than the internal state A (normal), and the internal state C (a precursor) is an internal state through which the internal state A (normal) or B (high accuracy) is transferred to the internal state D (AT), and the internal state D (AT) is on the sub-control board 80 side. This is an internal state for executing AT.

The internal state control means 63h is set to the internal state A (normal) at the normal time.
In the internal state A (normal), the internal state control means 63h performs an AT lottery to determine whether or not to execute AT when a rare small combination (small combination H1 to J3) is won. Then, when winning in AT lottery (decided to execute AT), the internal state control means 63h ends the internal state A (normal) in the game and changes from the next game to the internal state C (precursor). Transition.

In addition, when the rare small role is won in the internal state A (normal) and is not won in the AT lottery, the internal state control means 63h ends the internal state A (normal) in the game and starts from the next game. , Transition to the internal state B (high accuracy).
In addition, for example, when the AT lottery is not won at the time of the rare small role winning, a high-precision transition lottery that determines whether or not to shift to the internal state B (high accuracy) is performed, and when winning in this high-accuracy transition lottery, You may make it transfer to the internal state B (high accuracy).
Further, the winning probabilities of the high-accuracy transition lottery may be varied according to the type of the rare small combination that has been won.

  At the time of transition to the internal state B (high probability), an initial value (for example, “34”) of the number of games staying in the internal state B (high probability) is set in the high probability counter. In the internal state B (high accuracy), the winning probability of the AT lottery is higher than that in the internal state A (normal). Further, every time one game is digested in the internal state B (high accuracy), the count value of the high accuracy counter is decremented by 1. Then, when the count value of the high-accuracy counter becomes “0”, the internal state control means 63h finishes the internal state B (high probability) and shifts (returns) from the next game to the internal state A (normal).

Further, when a rare small role is won in the internal state B (high probability) and winning in the AT lottery, the internal state control means 63h ends the internal state B (high probability) in the game, and from the next game, Transition to internal state C (a precursor).
On the other hand, when the rare small role is won in the internal state B (high probability) and the player is not selected in the AT lottery, the internal state control means 63h again displays the initial value (“ 34 ") is 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 ( “Weak Cherry” is set to “1%” at the time of winning, “25%” when winning the small role I2 (strong cherry), and “1%” when winning the small roles J1 to J3 (chance).
On the other hand, in the internal state B (high accuracy), the winning probability of the AT lottery is “20%” when winning the small role H1 (weak watermelon), “50%” when winning the small role H2 (strong watermelon), It is set to “10%” when I1 (weak cherry) is won, “100%” when winning small role I2 (strong cherry), and “10%” when winning small roles J1 to J3 (chance).

  At the time of transition to the internal state C (precursor), the internal state control means 63h determines the number of games (precursor game number) staying in the internal state C (precursor) by lottery, and sets the determined number of predictive games in 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 C (precursor), an effect that makes the player expect to shift to the internal state D (AT) is output. Further, every time one game is consumed in the internal state C (a precursor), 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 unit 63h ends the internal state C (precursor) and shifts from the next game to the internal state D (AT).

In addition, when the start switch 41 is operated (turned on) in the first game after the transition to the internal state D (the game next to the game in which the count value of the precursor counter becomes “0”), the main control board 60 While performing the freeze, the reel effect is executed during the freeze.
Here, “freeze” means that the progress of the game is suspended for a predetermined period. During the freeze, for example, the functions relating to the reception of medals, the reception of the operation of the bet switch 40, the reception of the operation of the start switch 41 and the stop switch 42 (the reception of the stop operation of the reel 31) are put into a pause state.
Further, the “reel effect” means an effect of changing the reel 31 in a different manner from normal during freeze.

In the present embodiment, the main control board 60 starts freezing and measures the elapsed time when the start switch 41 is operated in the first game after shifting to the internal state D.
Further, the main control board 60 starts freezing and starts to rotate all the reels 31, and thereafter, “red 7” − “red 7” − “red 7” is applied to a straight line-shaped effective line in the middle stage in the horizontal direction. Is temporarily stopped (the display state of the symbols with fluctuations is changed).

“Swing fluctuation” means that a symbol repeats moving up and down with a constant amplitude (swing width), and when it repeats moving up and down constantly, or when it repeats stationary and moving, for example, an upper position with reference to the effective line In this operation, after moving for a predetermined time, moving downward, stopping at the position for a predetermined time, moving upward again and resting for a predetermined time.
When a predetermined time elapses from the start of freezing, the main control board 60 ends the freezing and re-varies the reels. At this time, the start timing of re-variation is varied for each reel 31 by random delay. As a result, the game after freezing and reel production is not assisted.

When the internal state D (AT) is entered, the internal state control means 63h continues the internal state D (AT) until the end condition of the internal state D (AT) is satisfied.
In the present embodiment, the internal state control means 63h includes a push order correct answer counter that counts the number of games in which the stop switch 42 is operated in the correct push order at the time of winning the small roles A to F (push order small roles), and the small role A. ~ F (push order small role) It is provided with a push order incorrect answer counter that counts the number of games in which the stop switch 42 is operated in the incorrect answer push order when winning.

When the stop switch 42 is operated in the correct push order when the small combination A to F (push order small combination) is selected, the push order correct answer counter adds 1 to the count value, and the stop switch 42 is operated in the incorrect answer push order. When it is done, the count value is cleared.
In addition, when the stop switch 42 is operated in the incorrect answer pressing order when the small roles A to F (push order small roles) are selected, the push order incorrect answer counter adds 1 to the count value and stops in the correct answer pressing order. When 42 is operated, the count value is cleared.

Then, the internal state control means 63h shifts to the internal state A (normal) when the count value of the push order incorrect answer counter reaches the specified value (“3” in the present embodiment) in the internal state D (AT). In other words, in the internal state D (AT), the number of games in which the stop switch 42 is operated in the order of incorrect answer pressing at the time of winning the small combination A to F (push order small combination) is the specified number of games (in this embodiment, “3 games”). ), Transition to the internal state A (normal).
As described above, the condition for ending the internal state D (AT) is that the number of games in which the stop switch 42 is operated in the incorrect answer pressing order at the time of winning the small roles A to F (pressing order small roles) is the specified number of games (3 games). It is set to become.

In the present embodiment, the internal state control means 63h on the main control board 60 side determines whether or not to execute AT (AT lottery) and controls (manages) the start of AT. The sub game state control means 83b on the sub control board 80 side controls (manages) the addition of the number of medals in the AT (net increase), the continuation of the AT, and the end of the AT.
Further, when the AT is terminated on the sub-control board 80 side, the correct pressing order is not notified when the small combination A to F (pressing small combination) is won. Then, in the internal state D (AT), when the number of games in which the stop switch 42 is operated in the incorrect answer pressing order at the time of winning the small combination A to F (push order small combination) becomes the specified number of games (3 games), the main control On the substrate 60 side, the internal state D (AT) is shifted to the internal state A (normal).

Here, the main control board 60 side is in the internal state D (AT), and the sub-control board 80 side is performing AT, and when the small roles A to F (push order small roles) are won, the correct push order is notified. In spite of the fact that the stop switch 42 is operated in the order of incorrect pressing due to a player's operation mistake, etc., the internal state D (AT) is shifted (falls) to the internal state A (normal). I have a case.
In this case, the sub-control board 80 side continues without terminating the AT until the AT termination condition is satisfied, and notifies the correct pressing order when winning the small combination A to F (pressing small combination).

  When the count value of the push order correct answer counter reaches the specified value (in this embodiment, “20”) in the internal state A (normal) or the internal state B (high accuracy), the internal state control means 63h Transition (return) to (AT). That is, in the internal state A (normal) or the internal state B (high accuracy), the number of games in which the stop switch 42 is operated in the correct push order when winning the small combination A to F (push order small combination) is determined as the specified number of games. In the embodiment, when “20 games”), the internal state D (AT) is shifted (returned).

Thus, the player can be relieved when the internal state D (AT) shifts (falls) to the internal state A (normal) due to an operation error of the player or the like.
It should be noted that, based on the fact that the count value of the push order correct answer counter becomes “20”, when the internal state A or the internal state B shifts to the internal state D, the freeze is not executed, and therefore the horizontal direction A reel effect that temporarily stops “red 7”-“red 7”-“red 7” in the middle effective line is not executed.

The push order correct answer counter once clears the count value when the count value reaches a specified value (“20” in the present embodiment), and then the correct answer push order when the small combination A to F (push order small combination) is won. Then, the counting of the number of games in which the stop switch 42 is operated is resumed.
Thereby, the push order correct answer counter repeats the count of “0” to “20” during AT.

  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 from the internal state C (precursor) to the internal state D (AT) (at the start of AT), the main control board 60 sends an external signal (a signal related to AT. “AT signal” ").) Is transmitted. 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) about the AT on a predetermined display at the start of AT, and then transmits an AT signal. In the present embodiment, the acquired number display LED 72 is a predetermined display, and AT information is set to “77”.
Here, as described above, in the first game after the transition from the internal state C (precursor) to the internal state D (AT), the main control board 60 starts freezing when the start switch 41 is operated. During the freeze, a reel effect is performed in which “red 7”-“red 7”-“red 7” is temporarily stopped on the active line.

Then, when a reel effect that temporarily stops “Red 7”-“Red 7”-“Red 7” on the active line is executed, the main control board 60 is conditioned on the condition that the main gaming state is in the 1BB-A. Then, the AT information “77” is displayed on the acquired number display LED 72, and then the output of the AT signal to the external concentration terminal board 100 is turned on.
Also, after the main game state is in 1BB-A and the internal state C (precursor) shifts to the internal state D (AT) and the output of the AT signal is turned on, the main control board 60 is in the internal state. Until the transition to A (normal) (return), the output of the AT signal is kept on, and when the transition from the internal state D (AT) to the internal state A (normal) (at the end of AT), the output of the AT signal Turn off.

Further, when the main game state is not inside, the main control board 60 displays the AT information “77” on the acquired number display LED 72 even if the internal state C (precursor) shifts to the internal state D (AT). And the output of the AT signal is not turned on.
Here, as described above, the stop switch in the incorrect answer pressing order due to a player's operation error, etc., despite the fact that the correct answer pressing order is notified when winning the small role A to F (pressing order small role). 42 is operated to shift (fall) from the internal state D (AT) to the internal state A (normal). In this case, the main control board 60 turns off the output of the AT signal when shifting (falling) to the internal state A (normal).

  Further, as described above, when the count value of the push order correct answer counter becomes “20” in the internal state A (normal) or the internal state B (high accuracy), the state is shifted (returned) to the internal state D (AT). In this case, when returning to the internal state D, the main control board 60 displays the AT information “77” on the acquired number display LED 72 and then turns on the output of the AT signal. That is, the main control board 60 turns on the output of the AT signal when the number of games in which the stop switch 42 is operated in the correct pressing order when the small combination A to F (pressing small combination) is won reaches 20 games.

  Here, based on the fact that the count value of the precursor counter becomes “0”, when the internal state C (precursor) shifts to the internal state D (AT), the freeze is executed and “ 7 ”-“ Red 7 ”-“ Red 7 ”is temporarily stopped, but the internal state A (normal) or internal is determined based on the fact that the count value of the push order correct answer counter is“ 20 ”. When the state B (high accuracy) is changed to the internal state D (AT), the freeze is not executed, and the reel effect is also executed to temporarily stop “red 7”-“red 7”-“red 7” on the active line. do not do.

Therefore, when the count value of the precursor counter becomes “0”, when the internal state C (precursor) shifts to the internal state D (AT), the main control board 60 performs freeze and is effective. The reel effect that temporarily stops “Red 7”-“Red 7”-“Red 7” on the line is executed, and the output of the AT signal is turned on.
On the other hand, when the internal state A (normal) or the internal state B (high accuracy) shifts to the internal state D (AT) based on the count value of the push order correct answer counter being “20”, The main control board 60 does not perform the freeze, and does not execute the reel effect that temporarily stops “red 7”-“red 7”-“red 7” on the active line, and turns on the output of the AT signal. It becomes.

In addition, when the main control board 60 turns on the output of the AT signal, the number of games in which the stop switch 42 is operated in the correct pressing order when winning the small combination A to F (pressing small combination) is 20 games. Every time (when the count value of the push order correct answer counter becomes “20”), control is performed so that the output of the AT signal is once turned off and then the output of the AT signal is turned on again. That is, control is performed so that the AT signal is output again.
Thereby, it is possible to notify the outside that the AT is continuing without being terminated.

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 output of the AT signal to the external concentration terminal board 100 may be turned on on the main control board 60 side.

  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.

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.

The command control means 63 i transmits various information (commands) to the sub control board 80.
Information to be transmitted includes information indicating that a medal has been inserted (bet), information regarding the number of inserted medals, information indicating that the start switch 41 has been operated, information regarding a condition device (winning role), and rotation of the reel 31 is started. Information indicating that the stop switch 42 has been operated, information indicating that the reel 31 has been stopped, information regarding the stop position of each reel 31 (the symbol stopped on the active line), information regarding the winning combination, main game state Information about the internal state, information about the AT, information about the freeze, information about the reel effect, information about the operation mode of the stop switch 42 (operation information), and the like.

Information regarding the main game state includes information indicating whether the user is staying in a non-internal, 1BB-A internal, 1BB-B internal, 1BB-A game, or 1BB-B game.
Examples of the information regarding the internal state include information indicating whether the user is staying in the internal state A (normal), the internal state B (high accuracy), the internal state C (precursor), or the internal state D (AT).
Information related to the AT includes information related to determination of whether or not to execute AT (AT lottery), information related to the start of AT, and the like.
The operation information (instruction information) of the stop switch 42 includes information on the correct answer pressing order at the time of winning the small combination A to F (pressing order small combination).

The production output control means 83a determines which timing (when the start switch 41 or each stop switch 42 is operated, etc.) depending on the main game state, the internal state, the condition device (winning role), etc. Such as 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. Is determined by lottery.
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 addition, at the time of Replay 01 winning, “bell”-“red 7 / black BAR / white BAR / blank”-“bell” stops at the horizontal effective line, and at the same time, it becomes a straight invalid line in the horizontal upper stage. "Replay"-"Replay"-"Replay" stops.
When the replay 01 is won, the effect output control means 83a outputs an effect indicating that the replay has been won (an effect corresponding to the combination of symbols stopped on the invalid line).
As an effect indicating that the replay has won a prize, for example, an article with a blue color corresponding to the replay is displayed on the image display device 23, or a frame lamp as the effect lamp 21 is blinked in blue. be able to.

Here, when an effect indicating that the replay is won (output corresponding to the combination of symbols stopped on the invalid line) is output at the time of replay 01 winning, the combination of symbols stopped on the active line is “replay”-“replay”. -The player may be misunderstood to be "replay".
Therefore, when the replay 01 wins, the effect output control means 83a sends “bell”-“red 7 / black BAR / white BAR / blank”-“bell”, which is a combination of symbols stopped on the active line, to the image display device 23. indicate.

  This allows the player to know that the combination of symbols stopped on the active line is “bell” − “red 7 / black BAR / white BAR / blank” − “bell”. Can be prevented from giving the player the misunderstanding that “Replay” − “Replay” − “Replay”. That is, it is possible to prevent the player from misidentifying the combination of symbols stopped on the active line.

Also, when winning the small role 01, “Replay”-“JAC”-“Replay” stops at the active line in the middle in the horizontal direction, and at the same time, “Bell”-“Bell” -"Bell" stops.
Furthermore, when winning the small role 03, “Black BAR / JAC”-“Replay”-“JAC” stops on the active line in the middle in the horizontal direction, and at the same time, “Bell” -"Bell"-"Bell" stops.

Furthermore, at the time of winning the small role 01 or 03, the effect output control means 83a outputs an effect indicating that the bell has won (the effect corresponding to the combination of symbols stopped on the invalid line).
Examples of effects that indicate that the bell has won a prize include displaying an article with a yellow color corresponding to the bell on the image display device 23, or blinking the frame lamp as the effect lamp 21 in yellow. be able to.

Here, when the effect indicating that the bell is won at the time of winning the small role 01 or 03 is output, if the combination of symbols stopped on the active line is “bell”-“bell”-“bell”, the player is notified. There is a possibility of misunderstanding.
Therefore, the effect output control means 83a displays “Replay”-“JAC”-“Replay”, which is a combination of symbols stopped on the active line, when the small role 01 is won, and displays the small character 03 when the small role 03 is won. “Black BAR / JAC” − “Replay” − “JAC”, which is a combination of symbols stopped on the active line, is displayed on the image display device 23.

  This enables the player to know that the combination of symbols stopped on the active line is “Replay”-“JAC”-“Replay”, or “Black BAR / JAC”-“Replay”-“JAC”. It is possible to prevent the player from being misunderstood that the combination of symbols stopped on the line is “bell”-“bell”-“bell”.

Further, the effect output control means 83a has a combination of symbols corresponding to any of the combinations by the winning determination means 63d of the main control board 60 since the stop switch 42 corresponding to the reel 31 to be stopped last is operated. The combination of symbols stopped on the active line is displayed on the image display device 23 until it is determined whether or not the line is stopped.
Specifically, for example, when the stop switch 42 corresponding to the reel 31 to be stopped last is operated (during the third stop), when rotation of all the reels 31 is stopped (when the symbol combination is stopped on the effective line), Alternatively, the combination of symbols stopped on the active line can be displayed on the image display device 23 at the time of winning determination by the winning determination means 63d.

In addition, when the replay 01 winning a prize, the effect output control means 83a does not output an effect indicating that the replay has won (the effect corresponding to the combination of symbols stopped on the invalid line), and the combination of symbols stopped on the active line “Bell” − “red 7 / black BAR / white BAR / blank” − “bell” is not displayed on the image display device 23.
Similarly, the effect output control means 83a does not display “replay”-“JAC”-“replay” on the image display device 23 when the effect indicating that the bell has won is not output when winning the small role 01. When the small role 03 is won, when the effect indicating that the bell has won is not output, “black BAR / JAC”-“replay”-“JAC” is not displayed on the image display device 23.
This is because in these cases, the player will not be mistaken for the combination of symbols stopped on the active line.

Further, when winning the small role 02, “BELL”-“BELL”-“BELL” stops at the effective line in the middle in the horizontal direction.
When the small role 02 is won, the effect output control means 83a outputs an effect indicating that the bell has won.
When winning the small role 02, “bell”-“bell”-“bell”, which is a combination of symbols stopped on the active line, may or may not be displayed on the image display device 23. This is because, when winning the small role 02, even if an effect indicating that the bell has won is output, the player will not be mistaken for the combination of symbols stopped on the active line.

In addition, when “BELL”-“BLACK BAR”-“REPLAY” corresponding to the small role 14 is stopped at the active line in the middle in the horizontal direction when winning the small role C, There is a case where “black BAR” − “black BAR” − “black BAR” (black BAR alignment) stops.
Then, when the black BAR alignment stops on the invalid line in the diagonally upward direction, the effect output control means 83a displays an image on the image display device 23 that the black BAR alignment does not give a privilege. This is in order not to give the player the misunderstanding that the reason why the privilege is not given even though the black BAR alignment is displayed is because of a malfunction.

On the main control board 60 side, the internal state control means 63h controls whether or not to execute AT (AT lottery) and the start of AT (management), and the command control means 63i relates to the internal state. Information, information on AT, and operation information of stop switch 42 are transmitted to sub-control board 80.
Then, on the sub control board 80 side, the sub gaming state control means 83b starts AT based on information transmitted from the main control board 60.

On the sub-control board 80 side, data indicating the relationship between the condition device and the correct pressing order is stored in a ROM (sub-ROM) 82.
Then, after the AT is started, when the production output control means 83a receives the information indicating that the small roles A to F (push order small roles) are won, the stop switch 42 to which the small roles 01 to 03 wins is pressed. The order (correct answer pressing order) is notified, and further, the difference number of medals during AT (net increase number), the number of games, etc. are displayed as images.

Further, after the AT is started, the sub gaming state control means 83b adds (the net increase) the number of medals in the AT, and controls (manages) the continuation of the AT and the end of the AT.
Further, when the AT ends, the production output control means 83a does not notify the correct pressing order when the small combination A to F (pressing order small combination) is won. In addition, if the correct push order is not notified at the time of winning the small combination A to F (push order small combination), the player can operate the stop switch 42 in the correct push order only by chance.
On the main control board 60 side, in the internal state D (AT), the internal state control means 63h is a game in which the stop switch 42 is operated in the order of incorrect press when the small combination A to F (push order small combination) is won. When the number of times reaches the specified number of games (3 games), the internal state D (AT) is shifted to A (normal).

  Further, in the present embodiment, as the sub gaming state, the sub gaming state A (non-AT), the sub gaming state B (AT normal), the sub gaming state C (additional battle preparation), the sub gaming state D (additional battle), sub It has a game state E (continuous battle preparation), a sub game state F (continuation battle), a sub game state G (ascension preparation), a sub game state H (ascension), and a sub game state I (preparation for completion). Then, the sub gaming state control means 83b controls the transition of the sub gaming state.

FIG. 11 is a diagram for explaining the transition of the sub gaming state. Hereinafter, the transition control of the sub gaming state by the sub gaming state control means 83b will be described with reference to FIG.
When the main control board 60 side is in the internal states A to C, on the sub control board 80 side, the sub gaming state control means 83b is in the sub gaming state A (non-AT). Further, in the sub gaming state A (non-AT), the effect output control means 83a does not notify the correct pressing order when winning the small combination A to F (pressing small combination).
Further, when the main control board 60 side shifts from the internal state C (precursor) to the internal state D (AT), on the sub control board 80 side, the sub gaming state control means 83b is connected to the sub gaming state A (non-AT). To the sub gaming state B (AT normal).

Furthermore, when the main control board 60 side is in the internal state D (AT), on the sub control board 80 side, the sub gaming state control means 83b shifts between the sub gaming states B to I. By the transition of the sub game state, the number of medals in the AT (the net increase number) is added, the AT is continued, or the AT is terminated.
Furthermore, in the sub gaming states B to H, the effect output control means 83a notifies the correct pressing order when the small combination A to F (pressing small combination) is won.
And if it transfers to the sub game state I, the production output control means 83a will not alert | report the correct pushing order at the time of small combination A-F (push order small combination) winning.

Further, in the sub gaming state B (AT normal), it has four stages of A stage, B stage, C stage, and D stage.
At the time of transition to the sub gaming state B, the sub gaming state control means 83b determines the initial value of the number of games staying in each stage, and uses the determined initial value of the number of games in each stage as the A stage counter and B stage. Set to the counter, C stage counter, and D stage counter, respectively.

FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing the flow of the game number determination process.
In step S101, the sub gaming state control means 83b determines an initial value of the total number of games in the sub gaming state B (AT reference game number), and in the next step S102, the determined AT reference game number is used as the AT reference. Set to counter. Then, the process proceeds to the next step S103.
In step S103, the sub gaming state control means 83b determines an initial value of the number of games staying in the A stage (A stage number of games), and in the next step S104, sets the determined number of A stage games in the A stage counter. To do. Then, the process proceeds to next Step S105.

In step S105, the sub game state control means 83b determines an initial value of the number of games staying in the B stage (B stage game number), and in the next step S106, sets the determined B stage game number in the B stage counter. To do. Then, the process proceeds to next Step S107.
In step S107, the sub game state control means 83b determines an initial value of the number of games staying in the D stage (D stage game number), and in the next step S108, sets the determined D stage game number in the D stage counter. To do. Then, the process proceeds to next Step S109.

In step S109, the sub gaming state control means 83b is a game that stays in the C stage with the numerical values obtained by subtracting the count values of the A stage counter, B stage counter, and D stage counter from the count value of the AT reference counter. As the initial value of the number of times (the number of C stage games), it is set in the C stage counter. Then, the process according to this flowchart is terminated.
As described above, in this embodiment, first, the initial value of the total number of games in the sub gaming state B is determined, and then, among the four stages, three stages of A stage, B stage, and D stage are determined. The initial value of the number of games is determined, and finally, the initial value of the number of games in each stage of the A stage, the B stage, and the D stage is subtracted from the initial value of the total number of games, and the rest is stored in the C stage The initial value of the number of games.

  Specifically, for example, “95” is determined as the initial value of the total number of games in the sub gaming state B, and then “23” is set as the initial value of the number of games in the A stage. “32” is determined as the initial value of “10”, and “10” is determined as the initial value of the number of games in the D stage. Finally, the initial value of the number of games in the C stage is determined by “95− (23 + 32 + 10) = 30”. “30”.

In addition, when determining the number of games, the sub-gaming state control means 83b determines any one of the numerical values from 0 to 9 by lottery, multiplies the determined numerical value by 10 times, Any one of the numerical values of 9 is determined by lottery, and the determined numerical value is added to the numerical value multiplied by 10. That is, in the first lottery, the numerical value of the 10th place of the number of games is determined, and in the second lottery, the numerical value of the 1st place of the number of games is determined.
Note that a lottery table in which selection probabilities for the respective numerical values of 0 to 9 are determined is used for the lottery for determining any one of the numerical values of 0 to 9.
Thereby, the number of games of 0 to 99 can be determined without providing a lottery table in which selection probabilities of numerical values of 0 to 99 are determined, so that the memory capacity can be reduced.

When transitioning to the sub gaming state B (AT normal), first, the player is allowed to stay in the A stage. While staying in the A stage, every time one game is consumed, the count value of the A stage counter is decremented by one. When the count value of the A stage counter becomes “0”, the sub gaming state control means 83b ends the A stage and shifts to the B stage from the next game.
Further, while staying in the B stage, every time one game is consumed, the count value of the B stage counter is decremented by one. When the count value of the B stage counter becomes “0”, the B stage is terminated and the next game is shifted to the C stage.

Furthermore, while staying at the C stage, the count value of the C stage counter is decremented by 1 every time one game is consumed. Then, when the count value of the C stage counter becomes “0”, the C stage is ended, and the next game is shifted to the D stage.
Furthermore, while the D stage is staying, 1 is subtracted from the count value of the D stage counter every time one game is consumed. When the count value of the D stage counter becomes “0”, the D stage is finished and the sub game state B is finished, and the next game is shifted to the sub game state E (continuation battle preparation).

Further, at the time of transition to the sub gaming state B (AT normal), the sub gaming state control means 83b determines the initial value of the difference number of medals in the sub gaming state B (AT normal), and the determined initial value of the difference number (For example, “100”) is set in the difference sheet counter. The difference number means a number obtained by subtracting the inserted number from the number of medals paid out (net increase number).
Further, in the sub game state B (AT normal), the sub game state control means 83b performs an extra lottery to determine whether or not to add a difference number of medals when a rare small combination (small combination H1 to J3) is won. . Then, when winning in the extra lottery (determined to be added), the sub game state control means 83b determines and decides the extra number (for example, “10”, “20” or “50”) The additional number is added to the count value of the difference sheet counter.

Furthermore, in the sub gaming state B (AT normal), every time the small combination 01-03 wins the small combination A to F (push order small combination) winning, the difference number in the game is subtracted from the difference number counter. Then, when the count value of the difference counter becomes “0” or less, the sub gaming state control means 83b ends the sub gaming state B, and shifts from the next game to the sub gaming state E (continuous battle preparation).
In the sub gaming state B (AT normal), when winning a small combination A to F (push order small combination), regardless of whether or not the small combination 01-03 wins, a numerical value corresponding to the difference number (“4” in this embodiment) may be subtracted from the difference sheet counter.

Further, in the sub gaming state B (AT normal), the sub gaming state control means 83b performs a transfer lottery that determines whether or not to shift the sub gaming state when the rare small combination (small combination H1 to J3) is won. Then, when winning (decided to shift) in the transfer lottery, the sub gaming state control means 83b shifts from the next game to the sub gaming state E (continuous battle preparation).
As described above, the transition condition from the sub gaming state B (AT normal) to E (continuous battle preparation) is that the count value of the difference counter is not more than “0” (the difference number in the sub gaming state B is a predetermined number). ), The D stage counter count value has reached “0” (digested the predetermined number of games in the sub-game state B), and a rare lottery (small roles H1 to J3) won in the transition lottery Is set to do.

Even if the count value of the difference counter is “1” or more, if the count value of the D stage counter becomes “0”, the sub gaming state B is terminated and the sub gaming state E is entered.
Furthermore, even if the count value of the D stage counter is “1” or more, if the count value of the difference counter is “0” or less, the sub gaming state B is terminated and the sub gaming state E is entered. .
Of course, when the count value of the difference sheet counter becomes “0” or less and the count value of the D stage counter becomes “0”, the sub gaming state B is ended and the sub gaming state E is entered.

FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing the flow of the sub gaming state E / F transition determination process.
In step S201, the sub gaming state control means 83b determines whether or not the count value of the A stage counter is greater than “0”. If it is determined that the value is greater than “0”, the process proceeds to step S202. On the other hand, when it is determined that the value is “0”, the process proceeds to step S203.
In step S202, the sub gaming state control means 83b updates the A stage counter. Specifically, 1 is subtracted from the count value of the A stage counter. Then, the process proceeds to step S209.

In step S203, the sub gaming state control means 83b determines whether or not the count value of the B stage counter is greater than “0”. If it is determined that the value is greater than “0”, the process proceeds to step S204. On the other hand, when it is determined that the value is “0”, the process proceeds to step S205.
In step S204, the sub gaming state control means 83b updates the B stage counter. Specifically, 1 is subtracted from the count value of the B stage counter. Then, the process proceeds to step S209.

In step S205, the sub gaming state control means 83b determines whether or not the count value of the C stage counter is greater than “0”. If it is determined that the value is greater than “0”, the process proceeds to step S206. On the other hand, when it is determined that the value is “0”, the process proceeds to step S207.
In step S206, the sub gaming state control means 83b updates the C stage counter. Specifically, 1 is subtracted from the count value of the C stage counter. Then, the process proceeds to step S209.

In step S207, the sub gaming state control means 83b updates the D stage counter. Specifically, 1 is subtracted from the count value of the D stage counter. Then, the process proceeds to step S208.
In step S208, the sub gaming state control means 83b determines whether or not the count value of the D stage counter is “0”. If it is determined that the value is “0”, the process proceeds to step S215. On the other hand, when it is determined that it is not “0”, the process proceeds to step S209.

In step S209, the sub gaming state control means 83b determines whether any of the small roles 01 to 03 has won. If it is determined that a prize has been won, the process proceeds to the next step S210. On the other hand, when it is determined that no winning is made, step S210 is skipped and the process proceeds to step S211.
In step S210, the sub gaming state control means 83b updates the difference number counter. Specifically, the difference number in the game is subtracted from the count value of the difference number counter. Then, the process proceeds to the next step S211.

In step S211, the sub gaming state control means 83b determines whether or not the count value of the difference counter is “0” or less. If it is determined that the value is “0” or less, the process proceeds to step S215. On the other hand, when it is determined that the value is greater than “0”, the process proceeds to step S212.
In step S212, the sub gaming state control unit 83b determines whether or not a rare small combination (small combination H1 to J3) is won. If it is determined that the player has won, the process proceeds to the next step S213. On the other hand, when it is determined that it has not been won, Steps S213 to S215 are skipped, and the processing according to this flowchart ends.

In step S213, the sub game state control means 83b performs a transfer lottery that determines whether or not to transfer the sub game state. Then, the process proceeds to next Step S214.
In step S214, the sub gaming state control means 83b determines whether or not the winning lottery (decided to shift) is made in the shifting lottery. If it is determined that the player has won, the process proceeds to the next step S215. On the other hand, when it is determined that it has not been won, step S215 is skipped and the processing according to this flowchart is terminated.

In step S215, the sub gaming state control means 83b determines to shift to the sub gaming state E (continuation battle preparation) and F (continuation battle). Then, the process according to this flowchart is terminated.
Further, when it is decided to shift to the sub game state E and F, the sub game state control means 83b ends the sub game state B (AT normal) in the game and shifts from the next game to the sub game state E. .
The sub game state E (continuation battle preparation) is a sub game state through which a transition is made from the sub game state B (AT normal) to the sub game state F (continuation battle).

At the time of transition to the sub game state E, an initial value (for example, “5”) of the number of games staying in the sub game state E is set in the continuation preparation counter. Further, every time one game is consumed in the sub game state E, the count value of the continuation preparation counter is decremented by one. Then, when the count value of the continuation preparation counter becomes “0”, the sub gaming state control unit 83b ends the sub gaming state E in the game, and shifts from the next game to the sub gaming state F.
That is, when the sub game state E is entered, the sub game state E is continued until the predetermined number of games (5 games) is consumed, and when the predetermined number of games is consumed, the sub game state E is terminated and the sub game state F To migrate.

In addition, at the time of transition from the sub gaming state B to the sub gaming state E, the winning probability (continuation rate) of the continuous lottery for determining whether or not to continue the AT is determined. Then, a continuous lottery is performed at the time of transition from the sub gaming state E to the sub gaming state F with the continuation rate determined at this time.
Specifically, in the last game in the sub gaming state B, the continuation rate is determined at the moment when the player releases his / her hand from the third stop switch 42 (the last operated stop switch 42).

Here, when the stage A, the stage B, or the stage C stays, when the sub gaming state B shifts to the sub gaming state E, the continuation rate is “66%”, “79%”, “84%”, or One of “88%” is determined by lottery.
Further, when staying at stage A, the selection probability of the continuation rate “66%” is “40%”, the selection probability of the continuation rate “79%” is “30%”, and the selection probability of the continuation rate “84%” is The selection probability of “20%” and the continuation rate “88%” is set to “10%”.

Furthermore, when staying in stage B, the selection probability of the continuation rate “66%” is “25%”, the selection probability of the continuation rate “79%” is “35%”, and the continuation rate “84%” is the selection probability. The selection probability of “25%” and the continuation rate “88%” is set to “15%”.
Furthermore, when staying in the C stage, the selection probability of the continuation rate “66%” is “10%”, the selection probability of the continuation rate “79%” is “40%”, and the selection probability of the continuation rate “84%” is The selection probability of “30%” and the continuation rate “88%” is set to “20%”.

Further, when the sub-game state B shifts to the sub-game state E while staying at the D stage, the continuation rate is set to “100%”.
In this way, the continuation rate is set differently depending on whether the sub game state B has shifted to the sub game state E while staying at the A stage, B stage, C stage, or D stage. Yes.
For example, the continuation rate may be determined at the time of winning the AT lottery or at the time of transition from the internal state C (precursor) to the internal state D (AT).

In addition, when winning a rare small role (small roles H1 to J3) by winning the transition lottery, the transition rate is set to “100%” when the sub game state B shifts to the sub game state E. Has been.
Then, in the last game in the sub game state E (continuation battle preparation), the continuous lottery is performed at the moment when the player releases the hand from the third stop switch 42.
For example, in the last game in the sub gaming state F (continuation battle), the continuous lottery may be performed at the moment when the player releases his hand from the third stop switch 42.

At the time of transition to the sub game state F (continuation battle), an initial value (for example, “8”) of the number of games staying in the sub game state F is set in the continuous battle counter.
In the sub game state F, the effect output control means 83a outputs a continuous effect according to the result of the continuous lottery over a plurality of games (for example, eight games). Furthermore, when the winning output is determined (decided to continue) in the continuous lottery, the production output control means 83a outputs an effect in which the main character wins the battle in the last game of the sub gaming state F, and the non-continuous lottery does not. In the case of winning (decided not to continue), in the last game of the sub game state F, an effect that the main character is defeated in a battle is output.

Further, every time one game is completed in the sub game state F, the count value of the continuation battle counter is decremented by 1. When the count value of the continuation battle counter becomes “0”, the sub game state control means 83b performs sub End game state F. That is, when the sub game state F is entered, the sub game state F is continued until the predetermined number of games (for example, eight games) is consumed, and when the predetermined number of games is consumed, the sub game state F is terminated.
Then, when winning in the continuous lottery, the next game is shifted to the sub game state B (AT normal) (AT is continued).
On the other hand, when the continuous lottery is not won, the next game is shifted to the sub game state I (preparation for completion).

  In addition, when the count value of the difference counter becomes “0” or less, and when the sub gaming state B shifts to the sub gaming state E, the sub gaming state control means 83b includes an A stage counter, a B stage counter, Clear the stage counter, D stage counter, and difference counter. When winning in the continuous lottery, the sub-gaming state control means 83b re-determines the initial value of the number of games staying at each stage at the time of transition (returning) to the sub-gaming state B, and determines each determined stage. Set the initial value of the number of games in the A stage counter, B stage counter, C stage counter, and D stage counter, respectively, and again determine the initial value of the difference number of medals in the sub gaming state B (AT normal), The initial value of the determined difference number is set in the difference number counter.

  Furthermore, when the count value of the D stage counter becomes “0” so that the sub gaming state B shifts to the sub gaming state E, the sub gaming state control means 83b includes the A stage counter, the B stage counter, The stage counter and the D stage counter are cleared, but the count value is maintained for the difference counter. When winning in the continuous lottery, the sub-gaming state control means 83b re-determines the initial value of the number of games staying at each stage at the time of transition (returning) to the sub-gaming state B, and determines each determined stage. The initial value of the number of games is set in the A stage counter, B stage counter, C stage counter, and D stage counter, respectively, but the difference counter is restarted from the maintained count value.

  Furthermore, when the sub game state B is shifted from the sub game state B to the sub game state E by winning in the transition lottery at the time of the rare small role (small roles H1 to J3), the sub game state control means 83b includes an A stage counter, B The count values of the stage counter, the C stage counter, the D stage counter, and the difference number counter are maintained. When winning in the continuous lottery and shifting (returning) to the sub gaming state B, the sub gaming state control means 83b includes an A stage counter, a B stage counter, a C stage counter, a D stage counter, and a difference counter. The update is restarted from the maintained count value.

Further, in the sub gaming state B (AT normal), the sub gaming state control means 83b performs an extra battle lottery that determines whether or not to shift to an extra battle when a rare small role (small roles H1 to J3) is won. Then, when winning in the extra battle lottery, the sub game state control means 83b shifts from the next game to the sub game state C (preparation for extra battle).
The sub game state C (preparation for an additional battle) is a sub game state through which a transition is made from the sub game state B (AT normal) to the sub game state D (additional battle).

  At the time of transition to the sub game state C, an initial value (for example, “5”) of the number of games staying in the sub game state C is set in the additional preparation counter. Further, in the sub gaming state C, an effect that makes the player expect to shift to the sub gaming state D is output. Further, every time one game is consumed in the sub gaming state C, the count value of the extra preparation counter is decremented by one. Then, when the count value of the extra preparation counter becomes “0”, the sub game state control means 83b ends the sub game state C in the game and shifts from the next game to the sub game state D.

At the time of transition to the sub game state D, the sub game state control means 83b determines the initial value of the number of games staying in the sub game state D (the number of additional battle games) by lottery, and adds the determined number of additional battle games to the battle counter. set.
The number of additional battle games is determined by lottery from “7”, “14”, or “21”. 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 sub gaming state D, every time one of the condition devices is won by the lottery means 63b, the number of added medals (addition number) is determined by lottery according to the type of the selected condition device. The added number is added to the count value of the difference sheet counter.
For example, when replays A to D are won, “10” (selection probability 70%) or “20” (selection probability 30%) is determined as the additional number.

  Similarly, as the additional number, “20” (selection probability 70%) or “30” (selection probability 30%) is determined when winning the small roles A to G, and “30” when winning the small roles H1 to H2 (watermelon). (Selection probability 70%) or “50” (selection probability 30%) is determined, and “50” (selection probability 70%) or “100” (selection probability 30%) is selected when winning the small roles I1 to I2 (cherry). When the small roles J1 to J3 (chance) are won, “10” (selection probability 70%) or “20” (selection probability 30%) is determined.

  Further, every time one game is consumed in the sub game state D, 1 is subtracted from the count value of the additional battle counter. When the count value of the extra battle counter becomes “0”, the sub gaming state control means 83b ends the sub gaming state D in the game and shifts from the next game to the sub gaming state B (AT normal) ( return).

In addition, when the player wins in the extra battle lottery in the sub game state B (AT normal) and shifts to the sub game state C (preparation for the extra battle), the sub game state B (via the extra game state D) The count values of the difference number counter, the A stage counter, the B stage counter, the C stage counter, and the D stage counter are maintained until returning to (AT normal). Then, when returning to the sub gaming state B, the updating of these counters is resumed.
Therefore, in the sub gaming states C and D, the count value of the difference counter becomes “0” or less, or the count value of the D stage counter becomes “0”, and the sub gaming state E (continuous battle preparation) is entered. There is no migration.

Further, when winning in the continuous lottery, the sub gaming state control means 83b gives points and adds the given points to the point counter.
Even when winning in the extra battle lottery, as in the case of winning in the continuous lottery, the sub gaming state control means 83b gives points and adds the given points to the point counter.
In addition, any one of “1”, “2”, and “3” is determined by lottery. The selection probability of “1” is set to “70%”, the selection probability of “2” is set to “20%”, and the selection probability of “3” is set to “10%”.

Furthermore, when the count value of the point counter reaches a predetermined value (for example, “20”) or more, the sub gaming state control means 83b determines to shift to the sub gaming state G (ascension preparation) and H (ascension).
Then, when it is decided to shift to the sub game state G and H, the sub game state control means 83b, from the next game, starts the sub game state G (if the end condition of the sub game state F (continuation battle) is satisfied. Move to Ascension Preparation).

FIG. 14 is a flowchart showing the flow of the sub gaming state G / H transition determination process.
In step S301, the sub gaming state control means 83b determines whether or not a continuous lottery has been executed. If it is determined that the continuous lottery has been executed, the process proceeds to the next step S302. On the other hand, when it is determined that the continuous lottery is not executed, the process proceeds to step S304.
In step S302, the sub-gaming state control means 83b determines whether or not winning is made by continuous lottery. Here, when it is determined that the lottery is won by the continuous lottery, the process proceeds to step S303, and any point selected from “1” to “3” is given. Then, the process proceeds to step S307. On the other hand, when it is determined that the winning lottery is not won (non-winning), step S303 to step S309 are skipped, and the processing according to this flowchart is terminated.

In step S304, the sub gaming state control means 83b determines whether or not an extra battle lottery has been executed. If it is determined that the extra battle lottery has been executed, the process proceeds to the next step S305. On the other hand, when it is determined that the extra battle lottery is not executed, Steps S305 to S309 are skipped, and the processing according to this flowchart ends.
In step S305, the sub-gaming state control means 83b determines whether or not winning is made in the extra battle lottery. Here, when it is determined that the winning battle lottery is won, the process proceeds to step S306, and any point selected from “1” to “3” is given. Then, the process proceeds to step S307. On the other hand, when it is determined that the winning battle lottery is not won (non-winning), Steps S306 to S309 are skipped, and the processing according to this flowchart ends.

In step S307, the sub gaming state control unit 83b updates the point counter. Specifically, the points given in step S303 or step S306 are added to the count value of the point counter. Then, the process proceeds to next Step S308.
In step S308, the sub gaming state control means 83b determines whether the count value of the point counter is “20” or more. If it is determined that the value is “20” or more, the process proceeds to the next step S309. On the other hand, when it is determined that it is not “20” or more (less than “20”), step S309 is skipped, and the processing according to this flowchart ends.

In step S309, the sub gaming state control means 83b determines to shift to the sub gaming state G (ascension preparation) and H (ascension). Then, the process according to this flowchart is terminated.
Further, when it is decided to shift to the sub game state G and H, the sub game state control means 83b, when the end condition of the sub game state F (continuous battle) is satisfied, the sub game state G ( Move to Ascension Preparation).

The sub gaming state G (preparation for ascension) is a sub gaming state through which a transition is made from the sub gaming state F (continuation battle) to the sub gaming state H (preparation for ascension).
At the time of transition to the sub gaming state G, an initial value (for example, “5”) of the number of games staying in the sub gaming state G is set in the ascension preparation counter. Further, in the sub gaming state G, an effect that makes the player expect to shift to the sub gaming state H is output. Further, every time one game is consumed in the sub gaming state G, 1 is subtracted from the count value of the ascension preparation counter. Then, when the count value of the ascension preparation counter becomes “0”, the sub gaming state control unit 83b ends the sub gaming state G in the game, and shifts from the next game to the sub gaming state H.

At the time of transition to the sub game state H (ascension), the sub game state control means 83b determines the initial value of the number of games staying in the sub game state H (ascension game number) by lottery, and uses the determined ascension game number as an ascension counter. set.
The number of ascending games is determined by lottery from “7”, “14”, or “21”. The selection probability of “7” is set to “40%”, the selection probability of “14” is set to “30%”, and the selection probability of “21” is set to “30%”.

In the sub gaming state H, each time one of the condition devices is won by the lottery means 63b, the number of extra medals (the number of extras) is determined by lottery according to the type of the winning combination. The additional number is added to the count value of the difference sheet counter.
For example, when the replays A to D are won, “20” (selection probability 70%) or “30” (selection probability 30%) is determined as the additional number.

  Similarly, as the additional number, “30” (selection probability 70%) or “40” (selection probability 30%) is determined when winning the small roles A to G, and “40” when winning the small roles H1 to H2 (watermelon). (Selection probability 70%) or “50” (selection probability 30%) is determined, and “50” (selection probability 70%) or “100” (selection probability 30%) is selected when winning the small roles I1 to I2 (cherry). In the case of winning the small roles J1 to J3 (chance), “20” (selection probability 70%) or “30” (selection probability 30%) is determined.

  Further, every time one game is digested in the sub gaming state H, 1 is subtracted from the count value of the ascension counter. When the count value of the ascension counter becomes “0”, the sub gaming state control unit 83b ends the sub gaming state H in the game and shifts (returns) from the next game to the sub gaming state B (AT normal). ).

As described above, in the present embodiment, when the count value of the difference number counter becomes “0” or less or the count value of the D stage counter becomes “0”, the sub game state F (continuation battle) is entered. At the same time, continuous lottery is performed. Then, when the continuous lottery is won, the AT is continued and points that are conditions for shifting to the sub gaming state H (ascension) are given.
For this reason, even if the difference value counter is difficult to reach “0” due to the addition of the difference number, the D stage counter count value becomes “0”. Since there is a possibility that points will be awarded and points will be awarded in the continuous lottery, the player can have a sense of expectation for the transition to the sub gaming state H.

In addition, when the transition to the sub gaming state F (continuation battle) is made and the winning is not made in the continuous lottery, the sub gaming state control means 83b starts from the next game when the sub gaming state F meets the end condition. Transition to the gaming state I (preparation for completion).
The sub game state I (preparation for completion) is a sub game state through which the sub game state F (continuous battle) is transferred (returned) to the sub game state B (AT normal).

When the sub game state I is entered, the effect output control means 83a does not notify the correct pressing order when the small combination A to F (pressing small combination) is won.
In addition, if the correct push order is not notified at the time of winning the small combination A to F (push order small combination), the player can operate the stop switch 42 in the correct push order only by chance.

Further, the internal state control means 63h on the main control board 60 side indicates that the number of games in which the stop switch 42 is operated in the order of incorrect answer pressing when the small combination A to F (pressing small combination) is won in the internal state D (AT). When the specified number of games (3 games) is reached, the internal state D (AT) is shifted to the internal state A (normal).
Then, when transitioning from the internal state D to the internal state A, the sub gaming state control means 83b shifts from the sub gaming state I (preparation for termination) to the sub gaming state A (non-AT).

Second Embodiment
FIG. 15 is a diagram for explaining the transition of the internal state in the second embodiment, and corresponds to FIG. 10 of the first embodiment. Hereinafter, differences from the first embodiment will be mainly described.
In the first embodiment, the internal state control means 63h on the main control board 60 side determines whether or not to execute AT (AT lottery), and controls (manages) the start of AT. After the start of AT, The sub game state control means 83b on the sub control board 80 side controls (manages) the addition of the number of medals in the AT (net increase), the continuation of the AT, and the end of the AT.

On the other hand, in the second embodiment, the internal state control means 63h on the main control board 60 side determines whether or not to execute AT, starts AT, adds the difference number of medals during AT, and continues AT. , And control (manage) termination of AT.
In the present embodiment, as the internal state, the internal state A ′ (normal), the internal state B ′ (high accuracy), the internal state C ′ (precursor), the internal state D ′ (AT normal), the internal state E ′ (additional battle) Preparation), internal state F ′ (additional battle), internal state G ′ (continuation battle preparation), and internal state H ′ (continuation battle). The internal state control means 63h controls the transition of the internal state.

It should be noted that the main game state includes non-inside, 1BB-A inside, 1BB-B inside, 1BB-A game, 1BB-B game, and the game state control means 63f controls the transition of the main game state. The internal state control means 63h controls the transition of the internal state as in the first embodiment.
In the second embodiment, the internal state is shifted between the internal states A ′ to H ′ while the main game state is staying inside 1BB-A.
When the main control board 60 side is in the internal state A ′, B ′, C ′, the sub control board 80 side is non-AT, and the main control board 60 side is in the internal state D ′, E ′, F ′, G ′, When it is H ′, AT is assumed on the sub-control board 80 side.
In FIG. 15, the internal state on the main control board 60 side is indicated by a solid line, and the sub game state (non-AT or AT) on the sub control board 80 side is indicated by a two-dot chain line.

The internal state control means 63h assumes the internal state A ′ (normal) at the normal time.
In the internal state A ′ (normal), an AT lottery is performed when a rare small role is elected, and if a win is made in the AT lottery, the internal state C ′ (predictor) is transferred. (Yes)
In the internal state B ′ (high accuracy), the winning probability of the AT lottery is higher than that in the internal state A ′. When the predetermined number of games (for example, “34 games”) is digested in the internal state B ′, the state returns to the internal state A ′. Also, when a rare small role is won in the internal state B ′ and winning in the AT lottery, the state shifts to the internal state C ′ (a precursor).

At the time of transition to the internal state C ′ (precursor), the number of games (the number of precursor games) staying in the internal state C ′ is determined. When the number of precursor games is digested in the internal state C ′, the state shifts to the internal state D ′ (AT normal).
At the time of transition to the internal state D ′ (AT normal), the initial value of the difference number of medals in the internal state D ′ is determined, and the determined initial value of the difference number is set in the difference number counter.
Further, in the internal state D ′, an extra battle lottery is performed at the time of the rare small role winning, and when winning is won in the extra battle lottery, the state shifts to the internal state E ′ (preparation for additional battle).

The internal state E ′ (preparation for additional battle) continues until a predetermined number of games (for example, five games) is consumed, and when the predetermined number of games is consumed, the state shifts to the internal state F ′ (additional battle).
At the time of transition to the internal state F ′ (additional battle), the number of games (the number of additional battle games) staying in the internal state F ′ is determined. When the number of additional battle games is digested in the internal state F ′, the state returns to the internal state D ′ (AT normal).

In the internal state F ′ (additional battle), each time one of the condition devices is won, the number (addition number) to be added to the difference number of medals in the internal state D ′ is determined according to the type of the selected condition device. Then, the determined additional number is added to the count value of the difference sheet counter.
In the internal state D ′ (AT normal), every time the small combination 01-03 wins the small combination A to F winning, the difference number in the game is subtracted from the difference number counter. Then, when the count value of the difference sheet counter becomes “0” or less, the state shifts to the internal state G ′ (continuation battle preparation).

The internal state G ′ (continuation battle preparation) continues until a predetermined number of games (for example, five games) is consumed, and when the predetermined number of games is consumed, the state shifts to the internal state H ′ (continuation battle).
In addition, the continuous lottery is performed at the moment when the player releases the hand from the third stop switch 42 in the last game in the internal state G ′. The winning probability (continuation rate) of the continuous lottery is determined at the time of transition from the internal state C ′ (precursor) to the internal state D ′ (AT normal), and at this continuation rate, the internal state G ′ is changed to the internal state. Continue lottery at the time of transition to H '.

The internal state H ′ (continuation battle) continues until a predetermined number of games (for example, 8 games) are consumed. In the internal state H ′, a continuous effect corresponding to the result of the continuous lottery is output. Further, when the continuous lottery is won, an effect that the hero character wins in the battle is output last, and when the continuous lottery is not won, the effect that the hero character is finally defeated in the battle is output.
Further, when the predetermined number of games is digested in the internal state H ′ (continuation battle), the internal state H ′ is terminated. When the continuous lottery is won, the internal state is returned to the internal state D ′ (AT normal) (AT is continued), and the initial value of the difference number is set again in the difference number counter. On the other hand, when the continuous lottery is not won, the internal state A ′ (normal) transitions (the AT ends).

Further, in the internal states A ′, B ′, and C ′, the command control means 63 i does not transmit information that can identify the condition device to the sub-control board 80 and wins the small roles A to G (push order bell) Sometimes the information that can identify the correct push order is not transmitted.
For this reason, even if the sub-control board 80 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 during non-AT.
As a result, it is possible to prevent the correct push order from being illegally known when the push order bell is won during non-AT, and to prevent the sub-control board 80 from controlling the payout of the medals. can do.

In the internal states D ′, E ′, F ′, G ′, and H ′, the command control means 63 i transmits information that can identify the condition device to the sub-control board 80 or push order bell winning. Sometimes information that can identify the correct order of pushing is sent.
Thereby, on the sub-control board 80 side, during AT, the correct pressing order can be notified when the pressing order is won.

Further, in the internal states D ′, E ′, F ′, G ′, and H ′, the main control board 60 identifies the condition device on a predetermined display device (for example, the acquired number display LED 72) when the push order bell is won. Possible information is displayed, or information that can identify the correct pressing order is displayed.
This is because when the sub-control board 80 side informs the correct answer push order when the push order bell is elected, it is preferable that the main control board 60 side also informs the information regarding the correct answer push order when the push order bell is elected.

Here, the information transmitted from the main control board 60 to the sub control board 80 and related to the operation mode of the condition device or the stop switch 42 is referred to as “instruction information”.
The contents displayed on a predetermined display device (for example, the acquisition number display LED 72) on the main control board 60 side and related to the operation mode of the condition device or the stop switch 42 are referred to as “main-side instruction content”.
Furthermore, the contents to be displayed on another predetermined display device (for example, the image display device 23) on the sub control board 80 side and related to the operation mode of the condition device or the stop switch 42 are referred to as “sub-side instruction content”. .

In the internal states D ′, E ′, F ′, G ′, and H ′, the main control board 60 displays the winning number as the main-side instruction content on the acquisition number display LED 72.
For example, when winning the small role A, the winning number “05” is displayed as the main instruction content, and when winning the small role B, the winning number “06” is displayed as the main instruction content.
In the internal states D ′, E ′, F ′, G ′, and H ′, the command control unit 63 i transmits a winning number as instruction information to the sub control board 80.
For example, the winning number “05” is transmitted as instruction information when the small combination A is won, and the winning number “06” is transmitted as instruction information when the small combination B is won.

Furthermore, on the side of the sub-control board 80, the winning number “05” is information indicating the small role A winning, and the ROM (sub ROM) indicates that the correct answer pressing order when winning the small role A is “left middle right”. 82.
When the winning number “05” is received on the sub-control board 80 side, 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, and An effect indicating that “left middle right” is the correct pressing order is output (sub-direction instruction content “123” is displayed).

On the other hand, in the internal states A ′, B ′, and C ′, the main control board 60 does not display the main-side instruction content on the acquisition number display LED 72, and the effect output control means 83a is also provided on the sub-control board 80 side. Does not display the sub-side instruction content on the image display device 23.
Further, in the internal states A ′, B ′, and C ′, the command control means 63 i transmits instruction information “23” to the sub-control board 80 at the time of winning the small role A to G, and at the time of replay C to D winning. The instruction information “24” is transmitted.

Here, the instruction information “23” is information indicating that one of the small roles A to G has been won. However, from the instruction information “23”, it is impossible to identify which of the small roles A to G is won, the condition device (winning number) is also unidentifiable, and the correct answer pressing order is also unidentifiable.
Accordingly, when the instruction information “23” is received, the sub-control board 80 cannot notify the correct pressing order, but the effect related to the pressing order bell (for example, display of a color corresponding to the bell (yellow)) Can be output.

The instruction information “24” is information indicating that one of the replays C to D has been won. However, from the instruction information “24”, it is impossible to identify which of the replays C to D is won, and the condition device (winning number) is also unidentifiable.
Accordingly, when the instruction information “24” is received, the sub-control board 80 side can output an effect related to the push order replay (for example, display of a color (blue) corresponding to the replay).

As described above, in the internal states A ′, B ′, and C ′, the main control board 60 provides the sub-control board 80 with information that can identify the correct pushing order when the small roles A to G (push order bell) are selected. Since the information is not transmitted, 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 push order cannot be obtained.
As a result, it is possible to prevent the correct push order from being illegally known when winning the small role A to G (push order bell) during non-AT, and to pay out medals on the sub-control board 80 side. ) Can be prevented.

Next, the transmission timing of the instruction information and the display timing of the main-side instruction content and the sub-side instruction content will be described.
16 to 21 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.

FIG. 16 shows the transmission timing of the instruction information in the internal states A ′, B ′, and C ′, and the display timing of the main-side instruction content and the sub-side instruction content.
As shown in FIG. 16, in the internal states A ′, B ′, and C ′, the command control means 63 i transmits instruction information to the sub control board 80 when the start switch 41 is operated.
Further, in the internal states A ′, B ′, and C ′, since the pressing order is not notified, the main control board 60 does not display the main-side instruction content, and the effect output control means 83a Does not display instructions.

FIG. 17 shows the transmission timing of the instruction information in the internal states D ′, E ′, F ′, G ′, and H ′, and the display timing of the main-side instruction content and the sub-side instruction content.
As shown in FIG. 17, in the internal states D ′, E ′, F ′, G ′, and H ′, as in the internal states A ′, B ′, and C ′, the command control means is operated when the start switch 41 is operated. 63 i transmits instruction information to the sub-control board 80.

  In the internal states D ′, E ′, F ′, G ′, and H ′, after transmitting the instruction information, the main control board 60 starts displaying the main-side instruction content on the acquisition number display LED 72. Thereafter, the main control board 60 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). Then, the main control board 60 ends the display of the main-side instruction content when the third stop switch 42 is operated.

  Furthermore, in the internal states D ′, E ′, F ′, G ′, and H ′, the presentation output control means 83a sends to the image display device 23 almost simultaneously with the start of display of the main-side instruction content after the instruction information is transmitted. The display of the instruction contents on the sub side starts. 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.

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.
For example, when the start switch 41 is operated, a lottery for determining whether or not to delay the display start of the sub-side instruction content is performed, and when it is determined to delay the display of the sub-side instruction content, the display start of the sub-side instruction content is delayed. You may let them.

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, when all the reels 31 are stopped, and at a predetermined time before winning determination by the winning determination means 63d.
In particular, when displaying the main-side instruction content on the acquired number display LED 72, if the main-side instruction content is displayed until after the winning determination by the winning determination means 63d, the player can obtain the main-side instruction content and the number of medals acquired. May be confused with. Therefore, it is preferable to end the display of the main instruction content before winning determination by the winning determination means 63d.

  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, instruction information is transmitted when the start switch 41 is operated, and then the display of the main-side instruction content is started, and then the display of the sub-side instruction content is started when the rotation of the reel 31 is started. May be.
Further, as shown in FIG. 19, 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 reel 31 starts to rotate. 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

In addition, as shown in FIG. 20, 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. 21, 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 D ′ (AT normal), as shown in FIG. 17, when the start switch 41 is operated, instruction information is transmitted by the command control means 63i, and then acquired by the main control board 60. The display of the main side instruction content is started on the number display LED 72, and the display side instruction content is started to be displayed on the image display device 23 by the effect output control means 83a.
On the other hand, in the internal state E ′ (preparation for additional battle), as shown in FIG. 19, when the rotation of the reel 31 is started, the main control board 60 starts displaying the main-side instruction content on the acquired 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.

Also, as shown in FIG. 20, in the internal state E ′, when the reel 31 starts to rotate, the production 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. When entering the state, the main control board 60 may start displaying the main-side instruction content on the acquisition number display LED 72.
Furthermore, for example, in the internal state D ′, when the start switch 41 is operated, the main control board 60 starts displaying the main side instruction content, and the effect output control means 83a starts displaying the sub side instruction content. In the internal state E ′, the display of the sub-side instruction content is started when the start switch 41 is operated. However, the display of the main-side instruction content may be started when the reel 31 starts rotating.

Further, for example, in the internal state D ′, when the start switch 41 is operated, the main control board 60 starts displaying the main side instruction content, and the effect output control means 83a starts displaying the sub side instruction content. In the state E ′, at the start of rotation of the reel 31, the main control board 60 may start displaying the main side instruction content, and the effect output control means 83a may start displaying the sub side instruction content.
That is, the main control board 60 displays the main-side instruction content to the acquisition number display LED 72 at different timings when the small role A to G is won in the internal state D ′ and when the small role A to G is won in the internal state E ′. It may be displayed, or 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 D ′ and the internal state E ′. Specifically, when the internal state D ′ push order bell wins, the start switch 41 is operated, and when the internal state E ′ push order bell wins, the stop switch 42 becomes ready to accept the operation. The side instruction content 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).
This allows the player to guess which internal state the user is staying in.

  17 to 21, the main instruction contents and the sub instruction contents are continuously displayed until the third stop switch 42 is operated, and the main instruction contents and the sub 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 and the image display device 23 is changed to other information (for example, information indicating that the pressing order is incorrect) from the main-side instruction content and the sub-side instruction content corresponding to the correct pressing order. ) May be switched to.
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 mode (push order or / and operation timing) may be switched to notification.

Specifically, at the time of winning the small roles A to G in the internal state D ′, the main-side instruction content corresponding to the correct pressing order is displayed on the acquired number display LED 72 and the sub-side instruction content corresponding to the correct pressing order is displayed on the image display device. Suppose that the stop switch 42 is operated with 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 after being displayed at 23.
In this case, the main control board 60 determines whether or not there is another small combination that can be won at that time, and if it is determined that there is another small combination that can be won, the command control means 63i Information corresponding to the combination is transmitted to the sub-control board 80.

In addition, the main control board 60 is configured to stop the combination of symbols corresponding to the other small roles from being displayed on the active line (winning) from the main-side instruction content corresponding to the correct push order in the display of the acquisition number display LED 72. It switches to the information regarding the operation mode of the stop switch 42.
Furthermore, the effect output control means 83a switches the display on the image display device 23 from the sub-side instruction content corresponding to the correct pressing order to information relating to the operation mode of the stop switch 42 for winning the other small role.
In this way, it is possible to switch from notification of the correct pressing order to notification of information relating to the operation mode of the stop switch 42 for winning a small combination that is paid out in a smaller number than the maximum number.

In addition, in a game that is a conditional device having a common game result (a game result that gives the player the same profit) regardless of the operation mode of the stop switch 42, the stop switch 42 determined on the side of the sub-control board 80 is used. The operation mode may be displayed on the image display device 23.
Specifically, for example, in a game where the replay A winning (winning number 01) is made by lottery by the lottery means 63b, the replay 01 always wins regardless of the operation mode of the stop switch 42. That is, the replay A winning is a condition device that provides a common game result regardless of the operation mode of the stop switch 42.

In the game where the Replay A is won, the command control means 63 i of the main control board 60 transmits the winning number “01” to the sub-control board 80.
Then, when the winning number “01” is received, the sub control board 80 side determines the operation mode of the stop switch 42, and the effect output control means 83 a displays the determined operation mode on the image display device 23.
For example, when replay A is won, if it is decided to notify the pressing order of “left middle right”, the effect output control means 83a displays “123” indicating the pressing order of “left middle right” in the image display device 23. When it is decided to notify the pressing order of “right middle left”, the effect output control means 83a displays “321” indicating the pressing order of “right middle left” on the image display device 23. .

In addition to the replay A winning, the replay B can be cited as a condition device that provides a common game result regardless of the operation mode of the stop switch 42, but is not limited thereto.
For example, regardless of the operation mode of the stop switch 42, it is possible to set a condition device in which the small role 01 (seven payout) wins. Then, in the game that became a condition device for winning the small role 01 regardless of the operation mode of the stop switch 42, the operation mode of the stop switch 42 is determined independently on the sub-control board 80 side, and the operation of the determined stop switch 42 is performed. The mode may be displayed on the image display device 23.

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) In the embodiment, five “replay” symbols are arranged on the left reel 31, but the number is not limited to five. For example, six or more symbols may be arranged.

(2) In the embodiment, the number of medals to be paid out at the time of winning the small roles 04 and 05 is “1” when two are inserted, and “3” when three are inserted.
However, the present invention is not limited to this, and for all small combinations (small combinations 01 to 26), when 2 sheets are inserted, the payout (the number of payouts when winning) may be set smaller than when 3 sheets are inserted.
That is, when the number of inserted medals is the prescribed number N1, the payouts of all small combinations may be set smaller than when the number of inserted medals is the prescribed number N2 (N2> N1).

In particular, with respect to all the small roles (small roles 01 to 26), the payout can be less than 2 when two cards are inserted, and the payout can be three or more when three cards are inserted.
That is, when the number of inserted medals is the specified number N1, the payout of all small roles is set to be less than the specified number N1, and when the number of inserted medals is the specified number N2 (N2> N1), the payout of all small roles Can be made the specified number N2 or more.

(3) In the embodiment, within 1BB-A, the winning probability of Replay A is “22013/65536” when two cards are inserted, and “8961/65536” when three cards are inserted.
However, the present invention is not limited to this, and in 1BB-A, when two cards are inserted, the winning probability of all replays may be set higher than when three cards are inserted.
That is, in 1BB-A, when the number of inserted medals is the prescribed number N1, the winning probability of all replays is set higher than when the number of inserted medals is the prescribed number N2 (N2> N1). Good.

  (4) In the embodiment, the initial value of the number of games staying in the sub gaming state C is set in the additional preparation counter when the sub gaming state C (additional battle preparation) is shifted. Each time one game is consumed in the sub gaming state C, the count value of the extra preparation counter is decremented by 1, and when the count value becomes “0”, the sub gaming state D (additional battle) is entered.

However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, in the sub gaming state C, the player waits for the replay D to be won, and when the replay D is won, the sub control board 80 side “reversely press and aim for the white BAR!” By giving such notification, the player is pushed to operate each stop switch 42 at the operation timing at which the “white BAR” of each reel 31 can be stopped on the active line in the order of right middle left push. .
Then, in the sub game state C, when the replay D is won, when “white BAR” − “white BAR” − “white BAR” stops at the active line and the replay 04 wins, the sub game state control means 83b performs sub in the game. The game state C may be ended, and the next game may be shifted to the sub game state D.

  In addition, since the symbol related to the replay 04 is “PB ≠ 1”, there is a case where the replay 04 is missed. When the replay 04 is missed, the reel 31 is stopped and controlled so that the replay 01, 02 or 03 wins. . When the replay 01, 02 or 03 wins, the sub gaming state control means 83b ends the sub gaming state C in the game, and the sub gaming state starts from the next game, similarly to when the replay 04 wins. You may make it transfer to D.

  (5) In the embodiment, the initial value of the number of games staying in the sub game state E is set in the continuation preparation counter at the time of transition to the sub game state E (continuation battle preparation). Each time one game is consumed in the sub gaming state E, the count value of the continuation preparation counter is decremented by 1, and when the count value becomes “0”, the sub gaming state F (continuation battle) is entered.

However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, in the sub gaming state E, the player waits to win the replay B. In a game where Replay B is won, Replay 05 (PB = 1) wins regardless of the order of pushing. Furthermore, when the replay 05 is won, “JAC”-“JAC”-“JAC” may stop on the symbol combination line (effective line) in the middle in the horizontal direction.
Then, when the replay 05 wins in the sub game state E, the sub game state control means 83b may end the sub game state E in the game and shift from the next game to the sub game state F.

(6) In the embodiment, the sub game state B (AT normal) is changed to the sub game state E (continuous battle preparation) while staying at any of the A stage, B stage, C stage, or D stage. Depending on whether or not, the continuation rate (winning probability of continuous lottery) was set differently.
However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, 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 C (a precursor), the AT continuation rate is increased. You may decide by lottery. That is, the continuation rate may be determined at the time of transition from the internal state C (precursor) to the internal state D (AT).

  The continuation rate can be determined by lottery from “66%”, “79%”, “84%”, or “88%”. For example, 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 “ The selection probability of “88%” can be set to “10%”.

  (7) In the embodiment, when the continuous lottery or the extra battle lottery is won, points are awarded, and when the awarded points become “20” or more in total, the state is shifted to the sub gaming state G (ascension preparation) / H (ascension). However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, when the number of winnings in the continuous lottery exceeds a predetermined value (for example, “20”), it may be determined to shift to the sub gaming state G · H.

  (8) In the embodiment, four stages of A stage, B stage, C stage, and D stage are provided in the sub gaming state B (AT normal). Then, at the time of transition to the sub gaming state B, the initial value of the number of games staying at each stage is determined, and the determined initial value of the number of games at each stage is set as an A stage counter, a B stage counter, a C stage counter, and a D stage. Each was set on the counter.

However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the stage may not be divided in the sub gaming state B (AT). For example, at the time of transition to the sub game state B, an initial value of the number of games staying in the sub game state B is determined, and the determined initial value of the game number is set in the game number counter.
Then, when the count value of the difference counter becomes “0” or less or the count value of the game number counter becomes “0”, the sub game state F (continuation battle) is entered and the continuous lottery is performed. May be.

(9) In the embodiment, the combination of symbols stopped on the effective line is displayed on the image display device 23 so that the player is not mistaken for the combination of symbols stopped on the effective line.
However, the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, the information indicating the combination of symbols stopped on the active line is controlled on the main control board 60 side such as the storage number display LED 71, the acquired number display LED 72, or the status display LED 73. You may display on a display apparatus.

Further, a dedicated display device for displaying information indicating the combination of symbols stopped on the effective line may be provided, and information indicating the combination of symbols stopped on the effective line may be displayed on the dedicated display device.
Further, this dedicated display device may control the display on the main control board 60 side, or may control the display on the sub-control board 80 side.

(10) In the embodiment, the internal state control means 63h performed the AT lottery when the rare small combination (small combination H1 to J3) was won in the internal state A (normal). Further, when winning in the AT lottery, the internal state A (normal) was shifted to the internal state C (precursor). Then, when the predetermined number of games (34 games or the like) is consumed in the internal state C, the state is shifted to the internal state D (AT).
However, the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, the internal state control means 63h is within a predetermined range (for example, “1” to “1”) at the time of transition from the internal state D (AT) to the internal state A (normal) (at the end of AT). One numerical value is selected 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 D.

Further, the internal state control means 63h 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 C (a precursor).
Then, the internal state control means 63h may shift from the internal state C (precursor) to the internal state D (AT) when the number of games counted from the end of the AT reaches the number of released games.

  (11) In the embodiment, the sub gaming state control means 83b determines the initial value of the difference number of medals in the sub gaming state B at the time of transition to the sub gaming state B (AT normal), and the initial value of the determined difference number A value (for example, “100”) was set in the difference sheet counter. Further, in the sub game state B (AT normal), every time a small combination 01 to 03 wins a small combination A to F (push order small combination), the difference number in the game is subtracted from the difference number counter. When the count value of the difference counter becomes “0” or less, the sub game state E (continuation battle preparation) and the sub game state F (continuation battle) are entered.

However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the sub gaming state control unit 83b may be configured to play the number of games in the sub gaming state B, the number of medals to be paid out, the number of winning of a predetermined combination (for example, small combination A to F), When the number of winnings of the small roles 01 to 03) reaches a predetermined value, it may be shifted to the sub gaming state E or the sub gaming state F.
In this case, in the sub game state D (additional battle) and the sub game state H (ascension), a variable (game) that determines the end condition of the sub game state B so that the stay period of the sub game state B (AT normal) becomes longer. The number of medals, the number of medals to be paid out, the number of winning of a predetermined combination, the number of winning of a predetermined combination).

(12) 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.

(13) The types of condition devices for each main gaming state (RT) shown in the embodiment, the winning probability, and the payout (payout amount) at the time of winning a prize are merely examples, and are limited to those shown in the embodiment. Is not to be done.

3. Initial invention 3
(A) Problems to be solved by the original invention In a conventional slot machine, a slot machine in which symbols are arranged on a reel so that a target symbol can always be stopped on an effective line regardless of the operation timing of a stop switch. Is known (for example, refer to Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2013-066569).
In the slot machine disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2013-066569, the maximum number of moving symbols from when the stop switch is operated until the reels stop is set to 4 symbols, and 5 symbols of “bell” and “replay” are set for each reel. Are arranged within an interval. Therefore, the “bell” and “replay” of each reel can always be stopped at the effective line regardless of the operation timing of the stop switch.

Here, for example, if the number of active lines is one, the number of symbols on each reel is 20 symbols, and the maximum number of moving symbols is 4, the 4 target symbols are arranged at intervals of 5 symbols. Regardless of the operation timing of the stop switch, it is possible to always stop the target symbol on the effective line.
However, in this case, the number of stop positions of the reel that causes the target symbol to stop on the effective line is limited to four, so that the number of stop-out patterns is relatively small.
Therefore, the problem to be solved by the present invention is to increase the number of stop appearances while making it possible to always stop the target symbol on the effective line regardless of the operation timing of the stop switch.

(B) Means for Solving the Problems Related to the Initial Invention The original invention solves the above-described problems by the following solution means. The configuration of the corresponding embodiment is shown in parentheses.

As the symbol Q on the specific reel, the symbol Q1 (“CHERRY” of symbol number 17) in which the symbol P is arranged adjacent to both the upper side and the lower side, and only one of the upper side and the lower side. It has a pattern Q2 ("Cherry" with a pattern number of 02) that is adjacent to the pattern P,
In the game where the reel control means is the result of the specific lottery,
The stop switch (left stop switch 41) corresponding to the specific reel at the operation timing T1 (the timing immediately before the 13th, 14th, 15th, 16th, or 17th symbol passes through the middle stage (active line)). Is operated in such a manner that the symbol Q1 stops at a specific position (middle stage (effective line)) and the symbol Q1 and the symbols P are displayed in the display window so that the symbol Q1 is displayed in the display window. Stop control and
The operation of the stop switch corresponding to the specific reel at the operation timing T2 (T2 ≠ T1) (timing immediately before the 19th, 20th, 01st, 02th, or 03th symbol passes through the middle stage (effective line)) When operated, the specific reel is controlled to stop so that the symbol Q2 stops at a position (lower stage) different from the specific position and one symbol Q2 is displayed in the display window. And

The second solving means is the first solving means,
The lottery means performs a lottery so as to have a case of winning a replay for allowing a player to replay.
In the reel control means, in the game selected for the replay, the symbol Q is not displayed in the display window when the stop switch corresponding to the specific reel is operated at the operation timing T1 or T2. In addition, the specific reel is controlled to stop.

The third solution means in the first or second solution means,
More symbols P are displayed on the specific reel than on the reels other than the specific reel.

The fourth solving means is the first to third solving means,
When the symbol Q1 stops at a specific position and one symbol Q1 and two symbols P are displayed in the display window, and when the symbol Q2 stops at a position different from the specific position, one symbol Q1 In any case when the symbol Q2 is displayed in the display window, it is determined whether or not a privilege is given to the player (AT lottery is performed).
It is characterized by that.

The fifth solving means is the first to fourth solving means,
The lottery means performs a lottery so that it may have other specific lottery results (small role G (small role 04 + 05)),
When the stop switch is operated in a specific pressing order (middle right left or right first stop) in the game that is the result of the other specific lottery, the reel control means is configured with a specific symbol combination (" The reels are controlled to stop so that "Replay"-"Bell"-"JAC" (Right-up bell) stops at the active line,
In the game that is the result of the other specific lottery, no determination is made as to whether or not a privilege is given to the player regardless of whether or not the specific symbol combination is stopped on the active line (AT Do not draw lots)
It is characterized by that.

(C) Effect of the original invention According to the initial invention, the number of symbols of each reel is N symbols, and the maximum number of moving symbols is M symbols. In addition, (N / (M + 1) +1) or more symbols P are arranged on the specific reel at intervals within (M + 1) symbols.
For this reason, for the specific reel, the symbol P can always be stopped at the effective line regardless of the operation timing of the stop switch. That is, the symbol P of the specific reel can be set to “PB = 1”.
Further, since the number of symbols P ((N / (M + 1) +1) or more) larger than the number (N / (M + 1)) necessary for “PB = 1” is arranged on the specific reel, Compared to the case where the number of symbols P necessary for setting “PB = 1” is set, the number of stop-out patterns can be increased.

4). Initial invention 4
(A) Problems to be solved by the original invention In a conventional slot machine, there is known a slot machine that outputs an effect that enhances a player's expectation according to the number of winnings of a predetermined combination in a predetermined gaming state. (For example, refer to JP 2009-106357 A).
Here, when a predetermined variable is satisfied, the predetermined variable is updated, and when the predetermined variable reaches a predetermined value, the predetermined variable is predetermined in the slot machine that gives a point as a condition for shifting to an advantageous gaming state. When it becomes difficult to reach the value, it becomes impossible for the player to have a sense of expectation for giving points and shifting to an advantageous gaming state.

  The problem to be solved by the invention is a slot machine that updates a predetermined variable when a predetermined condition is satisfied, and gives a point as a condition for shifting to an advantageous gaming state when the predetermined variable reaches a predetermined value In this case, even if the predetermined variable is difficult to reach the predetermined value, the player is given a sense of expectation for giving points and shifting to an advantageous gaming state.

(B) Means for Solving the Problems Related to the Initial Invention The original invention solves the above-described problems by the following solution means. The configuration of the corresponding embodiment is shown in parentheses.
The first solving means (first embodiment)
A plurality of reels (31) displaying a plurality of types of symbols;
A stop switch (42) provided corresponding to each reel;
Lottery means (63b) for performing a lottery so as to have a specific lottery result (small role A to F (push order small role) winning);
When the stop switch is operated in the specific operation mode (in the correct answer pressing order) in the game that is the result of the specific lottery, the specific game result that is advantageous to the player (the small role 01 to 03 (the small number that becomes 7 payouts) The reels are controlled so as to be able to display the winning combination (winning), and when the stop switch is operated in a predetermined operation mode other than the specific operation mode, the reels are controlled to stop displaying the specific game result. Reel control means (63c),
Having a notification state (sub-game state B to H (AT)) for notifying the specific operation mode in the game that is the result of the specific lottery,
The notification state includes a first notification state (sub game state B (AT normal)) and a second notification state (sub game state H (ascension)) that is more advantageous to the player than the first notification state.
Provided with notification state control means (sub-gaming state control means 83b) for controlling the notification state;
The notification state control means includes
The initial value of the first variable (the difference number in the sub gaming state B (AT normal)) related to the end condition of the first notification state is set (set in the difference number counter), and the second variable related to the end condition of the first notification state Set the initial value (set in the D stage counter) of (the number of games staying in the D stage in the sub gaming state B (AT normal)),
When the first condition is satisfied in the first notification state (the small roles 01 to 03 wins), the first variable is updated (the difference number in the game is subtracted from the difference counter),
When the second condition is satisfied in the first notification state (one game is digested while staying in the D stage in the sub gaming state B (AT normal)), the second variable is updated (the count value of the D stage counter is decremented by 1). ,
At least one of the first variable and the second variable has become a value corresponding to the end condition of the first notification state (the count value of the difference counter is “0” or less, or the count value of the D stage counter is On the condition that it has become “0”), it is determined whether or not to continue the first notification state (continuous lottery is performed)
Points are awarded on the condition that the first notification state is continued (winning the continuous lottery) (Any point is given from “1” to “3”, and the given points are also points) Add to the counter),
It is possible to shift to the second notification state on condition that the accumulated value of the given points has reached a predetermined value (the count value of the point counter is “20” or more).

The second solving means is the first solving means,
When the notification state control means shifts to the second notification state, it changes the first variable so that the game period of the first notification state becomes longer (determine the number of additions and use the determined number of additions as the difference number). It is possible to add to the count value of the counter).

The third solution means in the first or second solution means,
The notification state control means determines that the first notification state is always continued when the second variable reaches a value corresponding to the end condition of the first notification state.

The fourth solving means is the first to third solving means,
The notification state control means includes
When it is determined to continue the first notification state based on the fact that the first variable has reached a value corresponding to the end condition of the first notification state, the initial value of the first variable is reset and the second variable Reset the initial value of the variable,
When it is determined to continue the first notification state based on the fact that the second variable has reached a value corresponding to the end condition of the first notification state, the initial value of the second variable is maintained while maintaining the first variable. Is reset.

(C) Effect of the initial invention According to the initial invention, the first variable has the first variable and the second variable related to the end condition of the first notification state, and the first variable is updated when the first condition is satisfied in the first notification state, When the second condition is satisfied in the first notification state, the second variable is updated. When at least one of the first variable and the second variable reaches a value corresponding to the end condition of the first notification state, it is determined whether or not to continue the first notification state, and the first notification state is continued. When determined, a point as a condition for shifting to the second notification state is given.
For this reason, even if it is difficult for the first variable to reach the value corresponding to the ending condition of the first gaming state, the second variable has a possibility of reaching the value corresponding to the ending condition of the first gaming state. And a player can have a sense of expectation for the transition to the second notification state.

5. Initial invention 5
(A) Problems to be solved by the original invention In a conventional slot machine, when a predetermined symbol combination is displayed during execution of a freeze that delays the progress of a game, an external signal indicating that the game has shifted to AT is displayed. An output slot machine is known (for example, see Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2015-0000224).

In such a slot machine, there is a problem that if a predetermined symbol combination is not displayed during the execution of freeze, an external signal is not output even when the process shifts to AT.
The problem to be solved by the invention is that a slot machine that outputs an external signal when a predetermined condition is satisfied during execution of the freeze can output an external signal even if the predetermined condition is not satisfied during the execution of the freeze. It is to be.

(B) Means for Solving the Problems Related to the Initial Invention The original invention solves the above-described problems by the following solution means. The configuration of the corresponding embodiment is shown in parentheses.
The first solving means (first embodiment)
Main control means (main control board 60) for controlling the progress of the game,
The main control means includes
When a predetermined condition is satisfied, control is performed so that a freeze that delays the progress of the game can be executed,
When the first condition is satisfied while the freeze is being performed (a reel effect that temporarily stops “red 7”-“red 7”-“red 7” on the active line is executed), an external signal (AT signal) ) To enable output,
Even if the first condition is not satisfied, when the second condition is satisfied (in the internal state A or B, the count value of the push order correct answer counter becomes “20”) in the game period over a plurality of games, the external signal It is controlled so that can be output.

The second solving means is the first solving means,
A plurality of reels (31) displaying a plurality of types of symbols;
A stop switch (42) provided corresponding to each reel,
The main control means includes
Lottery means (63b) for performing a lottery so as to have a specific lottery result (small role A to F (push order small role) winning);
When the stop switch is operated in the specific operation mode (in the correct answer pressing order) in the game that is the result of the specific lottery, the specific game result that is advantageous to the player (the small role 01 to 03 (the small number that becomes 7 payouts) The reels are controlled so as to be able to display the winning combination (winning), and when the stop switch is operated in a predetermined operation mode other than the specific operation mode, the reels are controlled to stop displaying the specific game result. Reel control means (63c),
The first condition is that a reel effect that fluctuates the reel in a manner different from normal during execution of the freeze (a reel effect that temporarily stops “Red 7”-“Red 7”-“Red 7” on the active line) Is set to be executed,
The second condition is set such that the number of games in which the stop switch is operated in the specific operation mode has reached a predetermined number of games (20 games) in the game that results in the specific lottery result. .

The third solution means is the second solution means,
When the main control means is outputting the external signal, each time the number of games in which the stop switch is operated in the specific operation mode in the game that is the specific lottery result becomes the predetermined number of games, Control is performed so that the external signal is output again (the output of the AT signal is temporarily turned off and then the output of the AT signal is turned on again).

(C) Effect of the Initial Invention According to the initial invention, the condition for enabling the output of an external signal that the first condition is satisfied during the execution of the freeze or that the second condition is satisfied in a game period over a plurality of games. It is said. For this reason, even if the first condition is not satisfied during the execution of the freeze, it is possible to output an external signal when the second condition is satisfied in a game period over a plurality of games.

6). Initial invention 6
(A) Problems to be solved by the original invention In a conventional slot machine, a combination of symbols corresponding to a predetermined role is stopped on a bent line-shaped active line, and at the same time, a predetermined combination is applied to a straight invalid line. There is a known slot machine that creates a pseudo-winning mode as if a winning combination is made on an invalid line by stopping a combination of symbols that makes a player assume a combination of symbols corresponding to a winning combination. (For example, refer to JP2013-090978A).

In such a slot machine, there is a risk of giving the player a misunderstanding that a combination corresponding to a combination of symbols stopped on the invalid line has won.
The problem to be solved by the present invention is to prevent the player from giving a misunderstanding that a combination corresponding to a combination of symbols stopped on an invalid line has won.

(B) Means for Solving the Problems Related to the Initial Invention The original invention solves the above-described problems by the following solution means. The configuration of the corresponding embodiment is shown in parentheses.
The first solving means (first embodiment)
A plurality of reels (31) displaying a plurality of types of symbols;
A stop switch (42) provided corresponding to each reel;
Main control means (main control board 60) for controlling the progress of the game, including the reel stop control;
Sub-control means (sub-control board 80) for receiving information from the main control means and controlling the production;
A display device (image display device 23) whose display is controlled by the sub-control means,
As a symbol combination line that forms a symbol combination when the reel is stopped,
When the combination of symbols corresponding to the combination stops, the effective line that becomes the winning of the combination,
Even if the combination of symbols corresponding to the combination stops, it has an invalid line that will not win the combination,
When all the reels are stopped, the symbol combination X1 ("bell"-"red 7 / black BAR / white BAR / blank"-"bell") corresponding to the predetermined combination (replay 01) stops at the effective line. At the same time, the symbols are arranged on each reel so that the symbol combination X2 ("Replay"-"Replay"-"Replay") that is not the symbol combination corresponding to the predetermined combination stops at the invalid line. Has been
When the symbol combination X1 stops at the active line and the symbol combination X2 stops at the invalid line, the sub-control means performs an effect (replay) corresponding to the symbol combination X2 stopped at the invalid line. When outputting a winning effect), the symbol combination X1 stopped on the active line is displayed on the display device.

The second solving means is the first solving means,
The sub-control means determines whether or not a combination of symbols corresponding to any combination has been stopped on the effective line by the main control means since the stop switch corresponding to the reel to be stopped last is operated. Until the determination is made, the combination X1 of symbols stopped on the effective line is displayed on the display device.

The third solution means in the first or second solution means,
The sub-control unit does not output an effect corresponding to the symbol combination X2 stopped on the invalid line when the symbol combination X1 stops on the valid line and the symbol combination X2 stops on the invalid line. In this case, the symbol combination X1 stopped on the effective line is not displayed on the display device.

(C) Effect of the Initial Invention According to the initial invention, when the symbol combination X1 stops at the active line and the symbol combination X2 stops at the invalid line, it corresponds to the symbol combination X2 stopped at the invalid line. When an effect is output, the combination X1 of symbols stopped on the active line is displayed on the display device.
As a result, the player knows that the combination of symbols stopped on the active line is the symbol combination X1, and therefore does not give the player the misunderstanding that the combination corresponding to the symbol combination X2 stopped on the invalid line has won. Can be.
