Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine, and more particularly to a gaming machine capable of reducing data capacity and increasing efficiency of stop control processing in stop control of a rotating reel.

  Conventionally, in a gaming machine such as a slot machine, a plurality of rotating reels capable of variably displaying a plurality of symbols, a start switch for starting a variation display of the symbols of the rotating reels by a player's operation, and a plurality of rotating reels, respectively. And a plurality of stop switches for individually stopping the change display of the symbols on the rotating reels by the player's operation after the start of the display of the change of the symbols on the plurality of rotating reels, and the progress and effect of the game And a control means for notifying the outside of various effects, and the control device is a lottery for winning or losing a role (hereinafter referred to as “role lottery”). The combination of symbols related to the winning combination is effective by stopping the rotation of the rotating reel based on the result of the winning lottery and the stop operation of the stop switch. Performed for determining whether or not aligned on a line, and so as to impart a predetermined benefit, depending on the result of the determination.

  Here, in the stop control for stopping the rotation of the rotating reel, a plurality of stop tables corresponding to the result of the lottery by the winning lottery means and the rotating reel corresponding to the operated stop switch are provided in advance. During stop control, a predetermined stop table is selected from the plurality of stop tables, and the stop position of the rotary reel is determined based on the selected stop table and the symbol position when the stop switch is operated. The rotating reel rotates to the determined stop position and then stops rotating. In such a gaming machine, the stop position of each rotating reel is determined for each result of the winning lottery by the winning lottery means, so it is necessary to provide a stop table for each result of the winning lottery by the winning lottery means and each rotating reel. There is.

  Specifically, for example, a stop table for a left rotation reel, a stop table for a middle rotation reel, and a stop table for a right rotation reel when winning a cherry role are required. In this case, a large number of stop tables are required such as a stop table for the left rotating reel, a stop table for the middle rotating reel, and a stop table for the right rotating reel.

  Further, like the assist time game (AT), the stop control is changed according to the order in which the player operates the stop switch, that is, the so-called stop operation order (correct answer stop operation order, incorrect answer stop operation order).

  That is, when changing the stop table, the result of the lottery (the type of winning flag), the rotating reel that has been stopped, the symbol position when the stop switch is operated, and the stop table for all patterns according to the stop operation sequence are displayed. Necessary. Furthermore, if the number of winning combinations increases, the number of stop tables becomes enormous and the amount of data in the stop table becomes large.

  For this reason, even if the winning combination and the rotating reels to be stopped are different, if there is a portion where the stop position is the same in the stop table, there is one that attempts to reduce the amount of data by providing a common table (Patent Document) 1).

  In such a prior art (Patent Document 1), a common table is used in a portion where the stop position in the stop table is the same, and a unique table is provided for each winning combination and each rotating reel in a portion where the stop position in the stop table is different, The stop process is performed by combining the common table and the unique table.

JP 2013-34783 A

  In the related art (Patent Document 1) as described above, a common table is used in a portion where the stop position in the stop table is the same. However, if the stop position is greatly different for each combination, the ratio at which the common table can be created May occur or may not be created.

  Furthermore, each role with a different stop position requires a unique table. Therefore, each role has a stop table that combines a common table and a unique table. In providing a stop table for a different pattern, there is a problem in that if the ratio at which a common table can be created is small or cannot be created, a great effect cannot be expected in reducing the amount of data.

  In view of the above problems, the present invention provides a gaming machine capable of stopping a combination of a large number of symbols by suppressing the number of a plurality of stop tables under a predetermined condition and reducing the data capacity. The purpose is to provide.

This means that the combinations of symbols 61 corresponding to the roles are aligned. The effective line 86 of the present embodiment is a central horizontal line 1 connecting the middle stage of the left rotating reel 64, the middle stage of the middle rotating reel 66, the middle stage of the right rotating reel 68, and the middle stage of the end rotating reel 69. It consists only of books.
As shown in the symbol table of FIG. 2, “bar (BR), RB (RB), red 7 (R7)” is formed on the surfaces of the left rotating reel 64, the middle rotating reel 66, the right rotating reel 68 and the end rotating reel 69. , Blue 7 (B7), Replay (RP), Blank 1 (B1), Blank 2 (B2), Blank 3 (B3), Blank 4 (B4) ”are formed. In the present embodiment, although not shown in particular, the combination a, combination b, combination c,..., Etc. are set in advance by the above-described combination of symbols (so-called winning combination).
In the present embodiment, not all of the symbol combinations described above are stored directly in the symbol arrangement, and some of the combinations do not directly store the symbol arrangement in advance, but have a predetermined numerical value. The combination of symbols can be specified from the above, and this content will be described in detail later.

  Here, the four symbols “bar (BR), blank 3 (B3), RB (RB), blank 4 (B4)” are a rotating reel 62 (in order, a left rotating reel 64, a middle rotating reel 66, and a right rotating reel 68). , End rotation reel 69), symbol number 3 (bar, bar, bar, bar), symbol number 8 (blank 3, blank 3, blank 3, blank 3), symbol number 13 (RB, RB, RB) RB), symbol number 18 (blank 4, blank 4, blank 4, blank 4), the same symbols are arranged horizontally (one horizontal row) every five symbols on each rotating reel 62. A plurality of symbols 61 (bar, bar, bar, bar), (blank 3, blank 3, blank 3, blank 3), (RB, RB) arranged on the rotating reel 62 at equal intervals as described above. , RB, RB), (blank 4, blank 4, blank 4, blank 4), the symbol interval is not limited to being arranged for every five symbols as described above, but within a group described later. If the numbers are regularly arranged, they may be arranged for every 5 or more symbols, or may be arranged at intervals less than the number of 5 symbols (for example, 4 symbols).

In the present embodiment, the table shown in FIG. 2 (so-called symbol arrangement table) itself is not stored as data as it is, and winning determination is not performed using such a symbol arrangement table.
Of course, the present invention is not limited to this, and the table shown in FIG. 2 (so-called symbol arrangement table) itself may be stored as data as it is.
These designs 61 are formed by sticking a tape on which each design is printed on the outer peripheral surface of the rotary reel 62. Note that the number (frame number) of the symbol 61 in FIG. 2 is not a physical number attached to the outer peripheral surface of the rotary reel 62, but is a virtual number for controlling the stop of each symbol 61. This is for specifying a specific symbol 61 in the program.

  As shown in FIG. 3, a control device 100 for controlling the overall operation of the gaming machine 10 is formed inside the gaming machine 10. This control device 100 receives the information (command) from the main control device 110 that controls the state by advancing the game, and controls the effects according to the progress of the game. A sub-control device 300 that controls each state of the effect is provided in order to perform an effect of notifying the player of information related to game content.

  The main control device 110 and the sub control device 300 are connected by one-way communication from the main control device 110 to the sub control device 300 in order to prevent unauthorized operation of the main control device 110. Communication in the reverse direction from the control device 300 to the main control device 110 is not performed (that is, not bidirectional communication). The main controller 110 receives inputs from the start switch 40, the stop switch 50, the max bet switch 34, and the checkout switch 36, performs a lottery drawing, and controls the operations of the reel unit 60 and the storage / dispensing means 24. The sub control device 300 receives a signal from the main control device 110 and controls the operation of the notification means 70 such as the display device 84. On the output side of the sub-control device 300, the display device 84, the speaker 72, and the effect lamp 78 as the notification means 70 are connected.

  Although not particularly illustrated, the main board having the main control device 110 and the sub board having the sub control device 300 are housed in dedicated board cases, respectively. Specifically, the main control device 110 is housed in the main board case, and the sub control device 300 is housed in the sub board case. The main board case is fixed to the upper part inside the housing 12 and the sub board case is fixed to the left side from the front inside the housing 12.

  The main control device 110 and the sub control device 300 are configured by a microcomputer including a CPU, a ROM, a RAM, and an I / O port (not shown). The CPU has an interrupt function such as a timer interrupt, and executes various programs by executing a program stored in the ROM. The ROM stores programs executed by the CPU and fixed data such as various tables, and the RAM stores a temporary storage area when the CPU executes the programs, for example, the state of the gaming machine 10 It is used as a storage area for storing the area and the lottery result of the role lottery.

In the main control device 110 of the gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, a normal state that is normally performed is provided. The main control device 110 is provided with a replay time (RT) state in which the probability of winning the re-game combination (replay combination) is set higher (or lower) than the normal state. This RT state is controlled by the main controller 110.
In the sub-control device 300, an assist time (AT) state for assisting to stop the combination of the symbols 61 related to the combination on the effective line 86 by notifying the stop operation sequence of the stop switch 50, winning symbols, etc. Is provided. This AT state is mainly controlled by the sub-control device 300.

Of course, the devices for controlling each state (main control device 110, sub-control device 300) are not limited to those described above, and each state may be controlled by the other control device, A part of the means may be partially controlled by another control device and may be controlled across both control devices. At this time, direct transmission from the sub-control device 300 to the main control device 110 is not performed, but the main control is performed by notifying the predetermined stop operation order from the sub-control device 300 and stopping the player. Information can be transmitted indirectly to the device 110.
The assist time (AT) state is formed so as to be in a special state that is more likely to give a benefit that is beneficial to the player than in the normal state (non-assist time state).

  In the gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, it is possible to shift by winning the normal state which is a normal state and a lottery (transition lottery) on whether or not to shift in the normal state, and more than the normal state. And an assist time state (AT state) as a special state in which a special privilege can be granted.

  The AT state as a special state can be started when a predetermined start condition is achieved, and can be ended when a predetermined end condition is achieved. Specifically, the AT state as a special state can be shifted when a lottery result of a combination lottery, a predetermined transition combination is won, or when a predetermined transition lottery is won by the transition lottery means 330 described later. . Further, in the AT state, the number of medals that the player has acquired (paid to the player) during the AT is set to a predetermined number of games (a so-called predetermined number of acquisitions, specifically 360). Of course, the number is not limited to this number.

  The AT state as a special state can be executed until the number of medals acquired (paid out) by the player when it is executed according to the result of the predetermined transfer lottery reaches the specified number of acquisitions. The possible acquisition specified number is set so that it can be added by a predetermined lottery. When determining this addition, it is possible to execute an effect when adding to the specified number of acquisitions in the special state, a so-called additional effect, and as this additional effect, a reel effect using the rotary reel 62 and a display device 84. Both the display effect using and are formed to be executable.

  In addition, it is not limited to these start conditions and end conditions. Instead of the number of payouts, the actual number calculated by subtracting the number of inserted medals from the number of paid out medals instead of the number of payouts. You may set with the net increase number which is the number of acquisition of medals. In addition, the number of games executed during AT may be set to other conditions such as reaching a predetermined number of games (so-called initial number of games or maximum number of games). . That is, the number of games during AT may be ended by executing a predetermined number of games (so-called initial number of games or maximum number of games). In addition, the maximum number of times that the stop operation order (push order) is notified (so-called navigation) is set in the combination that can be awarded in the case of a predetermined stop operation order (push order). It may be. These conditions may be arbitrarily combined, for example, the number of games and the number of acquired medals (or a net increase).

  In the addition, the number of medals to be added to the specified acquisition number (or net increase) is set. Of course, regarding this addition, the number of games that can be executed may be added instead of the number of acquired medals (net increase) as described above, and the number of games and the number of acquired medals (or net increase) May be combined.

  The reel effect is an effect using the rotating reel 62. The four rotating reels 62 are rotated and stopped, the rotation direction is changed, the rotation speed is changed, the rotation acceleration is changed, and the predetermined symbol 61 is rotated. This can be done by various means. The display effect is an effect performed by a moving image or a still image displayed on the display device 84 which is the liquid crystal display device 84. Note that sound, music, sound effects, and the like from the speaker 72 are appropriately performed along with the display effect.

The AT state as a special state is shifted to the normal state during the AT that can be started repeatedly when the start condition of the AT state is achieved, and the normal state during the AT. States are provided (see FIG. 6).
The normal state during the AT is started with the start of the AT state, and the additional effect (addition game) can be executed in the additional effect state during the AT.

  The main control device 110 includes a combination lottery means 120, a reel control means 130 (start control means 135, stop control means 140), a normal state control means 160, an RT control means 170, a bonus control means 180, a freeze effect control means 230, and an add-on. Each unit includes an effect determination execution means 390, a special state determination means 200, an acquisition specified number counting means 210, a reel effect execution means 245, a payout control means 250, a transition lottery means 330, and a transmission means 260. Details of each means will be described later.

Note that these means are not limited to the main control device 110, but may be included in the sub-control device 300. For example, the special state determination unit 200, the acquisition specified number counting unit 210, the transition lottery unit 330, and the like may be included in the sub-control device 300 that mainly controls the production state. At that time, since direct transmission of data from the sub control device 300 to the main control device 110 is not performed for preventing unauthorized operation, if such transmission is necessary, the sub control device 300 performs a stop switch. 50 is notified to the player by the notification means 70, and the information from the sub-control device 300 is transmitted through indirect transmission means such as the player performing the stop operation in the stop operation order. It is transmitted to the control device 110.
Further, the arrangement (distribution, separation) of each means with respect to the main control device 110 and the sub control device 300 is not limited to the above-described ones, and various arrangements (distribution, separation) can be made. For example, the reel unit 60 and the storage / dispensing means 24 are also controlled by the sub-control device 300, and the main control device 110 determines whether or not the role lottery means 120 or the lottery random number extraction of the role lottery has a function of determining the game win / loss. It is also possible to arrange all other means for performing the game progress and the effect progress based on the determination, in the sub-control device 300, leaving only the portion to be processed.
With the above configuration, the main control device 110 functions as means for performing a lottery of a combination, controlling rotation and stop of the rotary reel 62, and progressing the game.

The main control device 110 is mainly for controlling the game, and is mainly for making the game progress. Hereinafter, the game in the present embodiment will be described.
When the specified number of bets (three) is set, one active line 86 (see FIG. 1) is set. In the gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, 3 is set as the prescribed bet number. As a method for setting the bet number, there are a method for inserting a medal from the medal insertion slot 38 and a method for setting a credit medal as the bet number by operating the max bet switch 34. Then, if the start switch 40 is operated on condition that the specified number of bets (3) is set, the number of bets is confirmed and either of a plurality of winning combinations is won by the winning lottery means 120 or A lottery lottery (role drawing) is performed. At almost the same time as the winning lottery, it is determined whether or not a predetermined time (4.1 seconds in this embodiment) has elapsed since the start of rotation of the rotary reel 62 in the previous game. When (4.1 seconds) elapses, all four rotating reels 62 start to rotate. In the present embodiment, the prescribed number is set to 3 even during a bonus game (RB), which will be described later. Of course, the number is not limited to this and is set to the prescribed number 2 only during a bonus game. Also good.

In the present embodiment, when a role is roughly classified, a small role (a role accompanied by paying out medals), a re-playing role (a role that can start the next game without using a medal owned by the player, so-called replay) Role) and a transitional role (a role accompanied by a transition of the state of the game or production).
After the rotation of the rotary reel 62 is started, a predetermined condition (in this embodiment, a process of accelerating the rotary reel 62 is executed, and then a predetermined sensor detects that the rotational position of the rotary reel 62 is the reference position. Is established, the stop switch 50 can be operated (stop operation enabled state).
Thereafter, when one of the four stop switches 50 is operated, the rotation of the rotary reel 62 corresponding to the stop switch 50 is stopped. When all the four stop switches 50 have been operated, the rotation of all four rotary reels 62 is stopped.

  The gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment is formed such that a profit is given to a player when a predetermined combination of symbols 61 corresponding to the winning combination on the active line 86 is prepared. For example, when the combinations of symbols 61 corresponding to the small combination are arranged on the active line 86, the number of medals corresponding to the small combination is awarded to the player.

  In the gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, as a state of the main control device 110, a normal (generally) performed state, and in this normal state, a bonus (RB) is won by a combination lottery of the combination lottery means 120. If the symbol 61 related to the bonus transition combination does not stop on the active line 86 in spite of the fact, the internal winning state that shifts from the normal state (specifically, the RB winning state and the RT1 state) In this internal winning state (RB winning state, RT1 state), the game proceeds when the bonus transition symbol 61 stops on the active line 86, and the profit given to the player is larger than in the normal state. A possible bonus state (RB state) and an SB (single bonus) state as a special role (specifically, an accessory) that can be transferred as a result of the role lottery from the normal state are provided (see FIG. 5). .

  In the present embodiment, SB (single bonus) is provided as a plurality of special combinations (combinations) that can be won according to the result of the combination lottery. Specifically, the SB (single bonus) belongs to the same type as the SB as the type (class) of the combination, but there are four different combinations of so-called winning symbols from SB1 to SB4. .

  A combination of symbols 61 that can be transferred corresponding to these SB1 to SB4 (for example, SB1 is a combination of symbols on the effective line 86 of the left rotation reel 64, the middle rotation reel 66, the right rotation reel 68, and the end rotation reel 69. When the replay (RP), replay (RP), bar (BR), RB (RB) ") are aligned on the active line 86, only one game is started from the next game of the aligned game. Is formed.

In the present embodiment, an RB (regular bonus) is provided as a special combination (combination) that can be won based on the result of the combination lottery.
This bonus state is obtained when a bonus transition combination as a transition combination is selected and a combination of symbols 61 corresponding to the bonus transition combination (for example, “bar, bar, bar, RB”) is aligned on the active line 86. The game starts from the next game of the game.

  In addition, even if the combination of the symbols 61 corresponding to the bonus transition combination is not prepared on the active line 86 in the game at the time of winning, the bonus transition combination is not compatible with the bonus transition combination on the effective line 86 after the next game. The state of winning the bonus transition combination is valid until 61 combinations are completed (SB is not valid). Other combinations (including SB) will be invalid after the next game if the combination of symbols 61 corresponding to the combination is not available on the active line 86 in the game at the time of winning. The bonus state ends when the total number of medals paid out to the player during the bonus state exceeds a preset number (specifically, for example, 26).

In the present embodiment, as the bonus state, a regular bonus state (RB state, so-called first type special object) mainly controlled by the main control device 110 is provided. The regular bonus state facilitates winning of a small role because the lottery probability of all small roles is higher than the normal state. The RB state according to the present embodiment ends with a payout number exceeding 26 sheets. Of course, this end condition is not limited to 26 sheets, and other sheets may be used. In the present embodiment, one type of RB is provided.
In addition, when the combination of symbols 61 corresponding to the re-playing role (replaying role) is prepared on the active line 86, the medal is not paid out, but in the next game, the bet number is automatically used without using the medal owned by the player. Can be set and played.

  The role lottery means 120 is a means provided in the main control device 110, and is for performing a lottery (role lottery) of winning or losing a plurality of roles in response to an operation of the start switch 40. . The role lottery means 120 uses a lottery table for determining whether or not a winning combination has been won as a main classification, for a normal state, for a bonus state (RB state), for an internal winning state (RB winning state), SB A plurality of devices are provided for each of the devices, and are stored in the ROM of the main controller 110. The role lottery means 120 compares a predetermined lottery data with a random number extracted from random numbers generated by a predetermined random number generator (random number generator circuit) having a loop counter that repeatedly counts integer values within a predetermined range. Then, it is determined whether or not it is won. The processing by the combination lottery means 120 is performed in step 113 (see FIG. 26) described later.

  The lottery probability used for the role lottery of the role lottery means 120 is formed to be changeable by the manager of the game hall within a preprogrammed range. Specifically, a plurality of setting values (specifically, by operating a setting change switch (not shown) in the housing 12 for changing a setting value that is a value for defining the lottery probability) Can change the lottery probability by selecting any one of 1 to 6). In the present embodiment, six set values 1 to 6 are provided, and the lottery probability is defined to be advantageous to the player in principle as the set value increases.

In the gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, a winning number (not shown) is assigned in advance to each of the combinations including a loss in order to classify the types of the combinations including the loss. The combination lottery means 120 determines a winning number corresponding to each combination based on the result of the combination lottery.
Note that one type of RB and four types of SB1 to SB4 are provided as types of bonuses in the bonus.

  The reel control means 130 is a means provided in the main control device 110, and a start control means 135 for starting the rotation of each rotary reel 62 and a stop control for performing a stop control for stopping the rotation of each rotary reel 62. Means 140.

  The normal state control means 160 controls the progress of the normal state. Here, the normal state in the main control device 110 means a state other than a replay time (RT) by an RT control unit 170 described later and an RB by a bonus control unit 180. Note that the winning probability of the re-gamer in the normal state is set lower than the replay time (RT) in the internal winning state (the RB winning state, the RT1 state).

In the present embodiment, the RT control means 170 controls the replay time (RT) state.
The bonus control means 180 controls bonus games, specifically, the RB state.

  The freeze effect control means 230 is for executing a freeze effect that temporarily stops the progress of the game. Specifically, when it is determined that the transition lottery of the transition lottery means 330 is won, the freeze effect control means 230 executes the freeze effect. Note that during the freeze effect, the reel effect execution means 245 may execute a spinning effect that combines rotation, stop, reverse rotation, and the like of the rotary reel 62.

In the normal state during the AT in the special state (AT), the additional effect determination execution means 390 is performed according to a predetermined trigger (specifically, an operation timing of the start switch 40 in each game in the normal state during the AT). A determination is made by lottery as to whether or not to shift to the extra stage production state during AT (so-called extra game).
The extra effect determination execution means 390 is a predetermined trigger in the extra game in which the extra effect is executed during the AT (specifically, the trigger of the operation timing of the start switch 40 in each game during the extra game, Depending on the result of the lottery during the game, it may be triggered by a pre-determined predetermined role), whether the special state (AT) is added or not, and the specified number of medals to be added in the special state (the extra game) It is decided by acquisition lottery).

The special state determining means 200 is used for determining the end of the game section in the special state.
Specifically, the special state determination means 200 is a game in a special state on condition that the predetermined number of medals counted by the predetermined number-of-acquisition counting means 210 described later has reached a predetermined medal number (specifically, 0). End the section.
Note that when a winning lottery of the transferring lottery means 330 described later is won, the special state determining means 200 sets the maximum number of medals that can be acquired during the special state (AT) (initial acquisition specified number).
The acquisition specified number counting means 210 is for counting the acquired specified number by subtraction (or addition) during a special game section.

In the present embodiment, although not particularly illustrated, the acquisition specified number counting means 210 counts and stores the initial acquisition specified number (360) that is initially set as the number of medals that can be acquired as a special state. Both the counting means and the counting means for counting and storing the number of acquired special states (additional acquisition specified number) obtained by the addition game are added.
The acquisition specified number counting means 210 is not particularly shown, but every time a medal is paid out, a calculation means for subtracting the payout number from the acquisition specified number, and a storage means for storing a numerical value calculated by the calculation means It is equipped with.

Further, the acquisition specified number counting means 210 may count and store the total acquisition specified number obtained by adding up both the above-described initial acquisition specified number and the additional acquisition specified number.
The initial specified number of sheets is set in advance to 360, but is not particularly limited to this, and may be less than 360 or more than 360. In addition, the specified number of initial acquisitions may be determined each time by lottery using random numbers.
In addition, the acquisition specified number counting means 210 is not limited to the one that subtracts the payout number from the initial acquisition specified number as described above. The special state determination means 200 may determine that the special state is terminated when the predetermined number of acquisitions is reached by adding the payout number.

The acquisition specified number counting means 210 counts the number of payouts acquired during the extra game when the extra game is entered during the special game section, but is not particularly limited to this, The payout may not be counted.
The special state determination unit 200 determines the end of the game section in the special state on condition that the predetermined acquisition number counted by the acquisition predetermined number counting unit 210 has reached a predetermined number (specifically, 0).

  That is, the number of sheets counted during the game section in the special state by the acquisition prescribed number counting means 210 is a direct parameter for determining the end of the AT game section in the special state. The special state determining means 200 determines whether or not to determine the end of the game section in the special state depending on whether or not the number of acquired medals has reached the maximum number of medals that can be acquired in the special state.

  Note that, as described above, the number of medals acquired (specified number of acquisitions) is used as a parameter for determining a game section in a special state, but the present invention is not necessarily limited thereto. Other parameters may be used as long as they can be parameters that ultimately determine a game section in a special state (influence the length of the game section (which affects and limits the length)). Specifically, the number of direct games may be used as the parameter. The maximum number of games that can be executed during the AT as a special state (so-called maximum number of games) is determined, and the AT as a special state is that the number of games executed during the AT reaches the maximum number of games. (In this case, the number of games is added, but in the case of subtraction, the number of games executed is subtracted from the maximum number of games, and the value after the subtraction is obtained. May end when the number reaches 0). In addition, other direct or indirect parameters that can determine (limit) the final game section, or a combination of these parameters may be used.

  The reel effect execution means 245 is for executing the reel effect as an additional effect by the rotating reel 62 that is operating as the notification means 70 in the freeze state. This reel effect execution means 245 executes the reel effect of the extra effect.

The payout control means 250 is for performing predetermined processing such as medal payout. The payout control means 250 pays out medals of the payout number determined based on values such as a specific value (CW) and a specified number (three) to be described later.
The transfer lottery means 330 performs a transfer lottery during non-AT using a predetermined transfer lottery probability, and determines whether or not to shift to the AT state as a special state by lottery (transfer lottery). It is. Specifically, the transfer lottery means 330 is set to perform a transfer lottery in each game during non-AT. Of course, the trigger for carrying out the transfer lottery is not limited to this, but other predetermined triggers (for example, the timing at which a predetermined state starts or ends, or the timing at which a predetermined number of games have elapsed from a predetermined trigger) , When a predetermined role is won, etc.).

The transmission means 260 is for transmitting a signal to the sub-control device 300.
The sub-control device 300 includes a receiving unit 310 and an AT control unit 320.
The receiving unit 310 receives a signal from the transmitting unit 260.
The AT control means 320 controls the effect in the AT state. Specifically, the AT control means 320 includes a display effect execution means 370.
The display effect executing means 370 is for executing a display effect performed by the display device 84.

Note that these means may be arranged in the main control apparatus 110, and in particular, the display effect execution means 370 may be arranged in the main control apparatus 110 instead of the sub control apparatus 300.
With the above configuration, the sub control device 300 receives a signal from the main control device 110 and performs an effect accompanying the progress of the game.

As shown in FIG. 4, the reel control means 130 rotates according to the start control means 135 for starting the rotation of the rotary reel 62, the result of the role lottery of the role lottery means 120 and the stop operation timing of the stop switch 50. Stop control means 140 that performs stop control of the reel 62 is provided.
The start control means 135 is set so as to start the rotation of the all-revolution reel 62 by the operation of the start switch 40 by the player and maintain the rotation speed in a state where a predetermined rotation speed is reached in advance. Yes.

  The stop control means 140 is based on the lottery result of the combination lottery means 120 and the rotation position (stop operation timing of the stop switch 50) of the corresponding rotation reel 62 when each stop switch 50 is operated. Stop rotation of 62. Note that the stop control means 140 may set a condition for stopping whether or not the order (stop operation order) when each stop switch 50 is stopped is matched with a predetermined condition as necessary. The processing by the stop control means 140 is performed in step 114 (see FIG. 26) and FIGS.

  The stop control means 140 is information about the stop position of the rotary reel 62 according to the symbol position of the rotary reel 62 when the stop switch 50 is stopped (specifically, the operation position based on the symbol number (frame number)) (specifically, Stop table storage means 400 that stores a plurality of stop tables 440 that have determined the number of sliding frames), table selection means 500 that selects a single stop table 440 to be used from the plurality of stop tables 440, and table selection Reel stop processing means 600 for stopping the rotating reel 62 using a single stop table 440 selected by the means 500 is provided.

  The stop table storage unit 400 includes a plurality of stop tables 440 (specifically, “00”, “01”, “02”,..., Etc., refer to FIG. 11 as a single stop table 440). The stop data table 420 is stored (see FIG. 11). Each stop table 440 includes a symbol number of the rotary reel 62 when the stop switch 50 is stopped, and the number of sliding symbols from the middle stage of each rotary reel 62 (specifically, 0, 1, 2, 3). 4) is stored (see FIG. 11).

The table selection means 500 acquires a specific value (specifically, a control word (CW)) corresponding to the result of the winning lottery and the rotating reel 62 where the stop operation has been performed, and uses this specific value (CW). Based on this, finally, a single stop table 440 is selected.
The table selection unit 500 includes a specific value acquisition unit 520 that acquires a specific value (CW) corresponding to the result of the lottery drawing and the rotary reel 62 on which the first stop operation (first stop operation) is performed. Pointer determination means 540 that determines a predetermined pointer based on the specific value (CW) and the rotating reel 62 on which the stop operation has been performed, and branch processing that determines a specific process from a plurality of processes based on the parameters A branch process determination means 560 to perform, a specific value transition determination means 680 for performing a specific value transition determination process described later, which is one of a plurality of processes, and a single process based on a pointer. A specific value can be newly acquired by the stop table acquisition means 620 for executing the stop table acquisition process for acquiring one stop table 440, the specific value, the lottery result, the stop operation sequence of the stop operation reel and the rotation reel 62 Na Fixed value re-acquisition means 570, common control processing means 610 for performing stop control in common when the inside is a predetermined lottery result (specifically, FPL is 37 to 66) The first stop correct answer processing means 630 for performing stop control related to the stop operation sequence is provided.

The specific value acquisition means 520 determines the result of the lottery and the rotating reel 62 (left rotating reel 64, middle rotating reel 66, right rotating reel 68, end rotating reel) on which the first stop operation is performed. 69) and a specific value acquisition table storing specific values (CW) corresponding to (see FIG. 7).
Here, the “result lottery result” means a first lottery flag value (FPL) as a flag pointer corresponding to a lottery result of a small role or the like (replay etc.) and a second lottery flag value ( FPH), and the first lottery flag value (FPL) and the second lottery flag value (FPH) are hexadecimal numbers corresponding to the result lottery result of the role lottery according to the lottery result of the role lottery. 1-digit or 2-digit numerical value (00, 01, 02..., Etc., where a substantially 1-digit value is also expressed as a 2-digit numerical value in the notation).
Using the specific value acquisition table, the specific value acquisition means 520 uses the lottery result (first lottery flag value (FPL) and second lottery flag value (FPH)) of the combination lottery and the rotary reel 62 for the first stop operation. The specific value (CW) is acquired from a predetermined number of numerical values (see FIG. 7).

  Here, “to acquire a specific value (CW) from a predetermined number of predetermined numbers” is to select any one numerical value from a predetermined number of numerical values and select the selected value. A numerical value is determined as a specific value. Specifically, the specific value is a two-digit hexadecimal number from “00” to “FF” (0 to 255 in decimal number), and one numerical value (for example, “50”) Is selected, and “50” is acquired as the specific value. The “predetermined number” in this case is 16 × 16 = 256 (decimal number), and one numerical value is determined as a specific value from 256 numerical values. This is because, when using an 8-bit CPU, a 2-digit hexadecimal number that is easy to handle 8-bit numbers (2 to the 8th power = 256 = 16 × 16) is most convenient for reducing the storage capacity. doing. Of course, the “predetermined number” is not limited to this, and may be set to a part of the 256 ranges described above, and is set to a value exceeding the above-described numerical value 256. It may be.

  Here, as described above, “the lottery result of the part lottery” includes the first lottery flag value related to the small part or the like in the lottery result of the part lottery and the bonus item (small part winning is facilitated). This is based on the result of both the second lottery flag value (FPH), which is a flag pointer related to SB (single bonus), RB (regular bonus), etc.), and the lottery result of the role lottery However, the present invention is not necessarily limited to this. For example, the lottery result of the role lottery may be based on one of the results of the first lottery flag value (FPL) and the second lottery flag value (FPH).

Here, in the present embodiment, the specific value (CW) is determined for the winning lottery result and the stopped rotating reel 62, but if the winning lottery result is the same, it is between the four rotating reels 62. They are set to have the same specific value (see FIG. 7). In other words, the specific value is determined regardless of the difference between the stopped rotating reels 62. As a result, if the specific value of any one of the four rotating reels 62 (specifically, the left rotating reel 64) is stored along the winning lottery result, the specific values of the other three rotating reels 62 are stored. Is set so as not to be stored. Thereby, the storage capacity can be saved.
In the present embodiment, the specific value (CW) is displayed as 9E, 0F, 10, 11,... In FIG. Of course, the specific value (CW) is not limited to these hexadecimal numerical values, and may be other numerical values or symbols as long as they are numerical values or symbols arranged in a predetermined order. is there.

  The pointer determination unit 540 includes the specific value (CW) acquired by the specific value acquisition unit 520 and the rotating reel 62 (left rotating reel 64, middle rotating reel 66, right rotating reel 68, end rotating reel) on which the stop operation has been performed. 69) and a pointer determination table 542 (FIG. 8) that stores pointers within a predetermined number range (hexadecimal numbers “00” to “FF”). . The pointer determination unit 540 uses the pointer determination table 542 to specify the specific value (CW) acquired by the specific value acquisition unit 520 and the rotating reel 62 (left rotating reel 64, middle rotating reel 66) on which the stop operation has been performed. , Right rotation reel 68, end rotation reel 69), within a predetermined number of numerical values (hexadecimal numerical value range, in principle, a range of “00” to “FF”, this implementation In this embodiment, the pointer is determined from “00” to “0A”) (see FIG. 8). Similarly to the specific value, this pointer is determined from “a predetermined number of numerical values”. Of course, the “predetermined number” is not limited to that described above, and may be a number that is equal to or less than the predetermined number or that exceeds the predetermined number. The “predetermined number” is not limited to being the same, and may be set to different values.

In the present embodiment, this pointer is also formed by a numerical value consisting of hexadecimal numbers. Of course, the pointer is not limited to these hexadecimal numerical values, but other numerical values or symbols. Is also good.
The pointers determined by the pointer determination means 540 are classified into two according to their numerical ranges as major classifications. Specifically, the pointer includes a stop table pointer (BTRP) whose numerical value (hexadecimal) range is “00” to “04” (“00” or more and “04” or less), and its numerical range is “05”. ”To“ 0A ”(“ 05 ”or more and“ 0A ”or less), and a transition determination pointer (BTRG) (see FIG. 12).

  In the present embodiment, in the stop control, all the lottery results of the combination lottery are reflected at one time. However, the present invention is not particularly limited to this. For example, in the stop control, the first lottery related to the small role or the like that is initially part of the lottery result of the role lottery by the specific value acquisition means 520 without reflecting all the lottery results of the role lottery at once. Only the flag value (FPL) is reflected, and then the result of the second lottery flag value (FPH) corresponding to the remaining role corresponding to the remainder of the lottery result of the combination lottery is determined by a special processing means as a specific value (CW). You may make it reflect in. In this way, since only the first lottery flag value (FPL) is reflected in the processing stage of the specific value acquisition means 520, a single winning combination of a single winning combination and a plurality of winning combinations simultaneously overlap in the winning lottery. Regardless of the difference between the winning and the overlapping winning, the same control is performed regardless of whether it is a single winning or overlapping winning and a specific value (CW) common to both is determined. The content of the second lottery flag value (FPH) is reflected in the specific value (CW) and the pointer, and the difference between the single winning and the overlapping winning is reflected in the specific value (CW) and the pointer, and the bonus is given from the middle of the control It is also possible to refer to the contents of an accessory such as.

Based on the pointer determined by the pointer determination unit 540, the branch process determination unit 560 performs a branch process that determines one of a plurality of processes.
The branch processing determination unit 560 determines which pointer range determined by the pointer determination unit 540 is included in a pointer range (pointer range) set in advance corresponding to each of a plurality of processes. Based on the plurality of processes, one of the processes is selected.
Specifically, the branch process determination means 560 determines whether or not to shift (set) the specific value (CW) to the new specific value (CW) based on the pointer (specific value shift determination process). Alternatively, branch processing is performed to determine one of a plurality of processes for acquiring a single stop table (stop table acquisition process).

When a single stop table 440 is acquired in the branch process by the stop table acquisition process, the reel stop processing unit 600 uses the single stop table 440 to perform the stop process.
As described above, the plurality of processes determined by the branch process determining means 560 are mainly composed of the stop table acquisition process and the specific value shift determination process.

The branch process determining means 560, when the numerical value of the pointer (hexadecimal number) determined by the pointer determining means 540 is “00” or more and “04” or less (“00” to “04”), the stop table. Select the acquisition process. The name of the pointer at this time is a stop table pointer (BTRP).
In the stop table acquisition process, a single stop table 440 is selected using the stop data table (see FIG. 11) based on the pointer (stop table pointer (BTRP)) determined by the pointer determination means 540.

The branching process determining means 560 determines the specific value when the numerical value of the pointer (hexadecimal number) determined by the pointer determining means 540 is not less than “05” and not more than “0A” (“05” to “0A”). Select the migration judgment process. The name of the pointer at this time is a transition determination pointer (BTRG). This specific value shift determination processing is executed by the specific value shift determination means 680 described later.
The specific value transition determination unit 680 executes a specific value transition determination process.
In the specific value transition determination process, the symbol position of the rotating reel 62 when the stop switch 50 is stopped is acquired, and this symbol position and the pointer determined by the pointer determination means 540 (transition determination pointer (BTRG)) are used. Then, a determination as to whether or not to shift the specific value (CW) to a new specific value (CW), that is, a so-called specific value shift determination is performed according to the shift determination data table (see FIG. 10).

Here, the specific value transition determination means 680 has two tables, a transition determination related table (see FIG. 9) and a transition determination data table (see FIG. 10), in order to perform the specific value transition determination process. .
The transition determination related table (see FIG. 9) is specified as a result of the transition determination pointer (BTRG) and the determination (specific value transition determination) on whether or not to shift the specific value (CW) to the new specific value (CW). It shows the relationship between the migration table pointer (migration P) used when the value (CW) is migrated to a new specific value (CW) and the stop table pointer (BTRP). The specific value transition determination means 680 described later acquires a transition table pointer (transition P) in the transition determination pointer (BTRG) and a stop table pointer (BTRP) in the transition determination pointer (BTRG) using the transition determination related table. To do.

The transition determination data table (see FIG. 10) is based on the symbol number (symbol position) when the stop switch 50 is stopped and the transition table pointer (transition P) collected from the transition determination related table (see FIG. 9). This indicates the determined transition determination value (“0” or “1”).
Specifically, when the specific value (CW) is shifted to a new specific value (CW) as a result of the specific value shift determination (when “0” is established as the shift determination value in the shift determination data table). A value obtained by adding a predetermined numerical value (specifically, “1”) to the current specific value (CW) is set as a new specific value (CW), and based on the new specific value (CW) A new pointer is determined by the pointer determination means 540, and the branching process is repeated based on this pointer.

  On the other hand, in the specific value transition determination process, if the specific value (CW) is not shifted to a new specific value (CW) as a result of the specific value transition determination ("1" is established as the transition determination value in the transition determination data table). The pointer (transition determination pointer (BTRG)) is rewritten to another pointer (stop table pointer (BTRP)), and the single pointer determined using the other pointer (stop table pointer (BTRP)) The stop table 440 is used (see FIG. 9).

  The stop table acquisition means 620 is one of a plurality of processes and is for performing a stop table acquisition process for acquiring a single stop table 440 based on a pointer. Specifically, when the pointer value determined in the pointer determination table in FIG. 8 is “00” to “04”, the stop table acquisition unit 620 performs a single stop corresponding to the pointer value. The table is collected from the stop data table shown in FIG. For example, when the numerical value of the pointer determined in the pointer determination table of FIG. 8 is “01”, the stop table acquisition unit 620 displays a single stop table corresponding to the numerical value of the pointer “01” in FIG. The single stop data table indicated by “01” in the stop data table (numbers of sliding frames are in order from symbol numbers 0 to 19 in the order (4, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 0, 1, 2, 3).

The specific value reacquisition means 570 can newly acquire a specific value based on the specific value, the lottery result, the stop operation reel, and the stop operation sequence of the rotary reel 62. The processing of the specific value reacquisition unit 570 includes special processing when the specific value is 14 or 16 (special processing 1 and special processing 2) and first stop incorrect answer processing.
First, the specific value reacquisition means 570 performs the following processing in the special processing.
The specific value reacquisition means 570 has a stop operation order of the first stop operation from the first stop operation (n) when the duplicate winning combination related to the special process (special process 1, special process 2) is won. -1) Until the (n-1) stop operation which is the first stop operation, a fifth specific value (specifically, CW is 14 or 16) for using the fifth stop table is newly acquired, The n-th stop operation whose stop operation order is the n-th stop operation is configured to newly acquire a fourth specific value (specifically, CW is 15 or 17) for using the fourth stop table ( (See FIGS. 13 and 14). Note that n is specifically n = 4 in the present embodiment, but is not particularly limited to this, and can be established if n is an integer equal to or greater than 2. is there.

By having the specific value as described above, the stop control unit 140 has a stop operation order of (n) from the first stop operation in which the stop operation order is the first stop operation when the duplicate winning combination is won. -1) Until the (n-1) th stop operation that is the nth stop operation, stop control is performed using the fifth stop table, and the nth stop operation whose stop operation order is the nth stop operation is Thus, the stop control is performed using the fourth stop table.
Here, at least two types of symbols, the fourth specific symbol and the fifth specific symbol, are provided as symbols, and the fourth specific symbol and the fifth specific symbol can be stopped on the active line at any stop operation timing. Are arranged on each rotary reel 62. The winning combination is provided with a duplicate winning combination in which a plurality of winning combinations are won. The overlapping winning combination includes one fourth specific symbol and the remaining (n-1) fifth specific symbols. It is formed by a plurality of winning symbols in combination.

A plurality of stop tables defining information on the stop position of the rotating reel according to the symbol position of the rotating reel when the stop switch is stopped are provided, and a fourth table for stopping the fourth specific symbol on the effective line A stop table and a fifth stop table for stopping the fifth specific symbol on the effective line are provided as a stop table for each rotary reel.
In the present embodiment, specifically, when the specific value (CW) is 14 or 15, the fourth specific symbol is set to blue 7 (B7), and the fifth specific symbol is set to replay (RP). When the specific value (CW) is 16 or 17, the fourth specific symbol is set to bar (BR) / blank 3 (B3) / RB (RB) / blank 4 (B4), and the fifth specific symbol The symbol is set to replay (RP).

Further, the specific value reacquisition means 570 performs the following process in the first stop incorrect answer process.
The specific value reacquisition means 570 is the first stop operation in which the stop operation order is the first stop operation from the first stop operation in the first stop incorrect answer process when the duplicate winning combination is won, and the stop operation order is the (n-1) th stop. Until the (n-1) th stop operation, which is an operation, a second specific value (specifically, CW is 88, 8B, 8E or 91) for using the second stop table is newly acquired, n Stop operation is a new first specific value (specifically, CW is 89, 8C, 8F or 92) for stopping the first specific symbol on the effective line 86 when the stop operation timing is appropriate. The n-th stop operation is acquired as a third specific value (specifically, CW for stopping the symbol 61 other than the second specific symbol on the effective line 86 when the stop operation timing is inappropriate. 8A, 8D, 90 or 93) are newly acquired . Note that n is specifically n = 4 in the present embodiment, but is not particularly limited to this, and can be established if n is an integer equal to or greater than 2. is there.

  By having the specific value as described above, the stop control unit 140 has a stop operation order of (n) from the first stop operation in which the stop operation order is the first stop operation when the duplicate winning combination is won. -1) Stop control is performed using the second stop table until the (n-1) th stop operation, which is the first stop operation. The nth stop operation is performed when the stop operation timing is appropriate. When the stop operation timing is inappropriate, the stop control is performed using the third stop table.

Here, at least two types of symbols, a first specific symbol and a second specific symbol, are provided as symbols, and each of the rotary reels 62 can be stopped on the effective line at any stop operation timing. Arranged above, the winning combination is a duplicate winning combination in which a plurality of winning combinations are won. This overlapping winning combination is formed by a plurality of winning symbols in combination of one first specific symbol and the remaining (n-1) second specific symbols.
A plurality of stop tables are provided that define information related to the stop position of the rotating reel in accordance with the symbol position of the rotating reel when the stop switch is stopped. A second stop table for stopping the second specific symbol on the effective line, a first stop table for stopping the first specific symbol on the effective line when the stop operation timing is appropriate, and a stop operation timing A third stop table for stopping symbols other than the first specific symbol on the effective line in the case of improperness is provided as a stop table for each rotary reel.
In the present embodiment, specifically, when the specific value (CW) is 88 to 8A, the first specific symbol is set to bar (BR) and the second specific symbol is set to replay (RP). When the specific value (CW) is 8B to 8D, the first specific symbol is set to blank 3 (B3), the second specific symbol is set to replay (RP), and the specific value (CW ) Is 8E to 90, the first specific symbol is set to RB (RB), the second specific symbol is set to replay (RP), and the specific value (CW) is 91 to 93, The first specific symbol is set to blank 4 (B4), and the second specific symbol is set to replay (RP) (see FIGS. 17 and 18).

The common control processing means 610 is inside (a bonus game is won or a bonus flag is established by carrying over the winning right), and a predetermined combination lottery result (specifically, FPL is 37 ~ 66) for common stop control (see FIG. 15). Specifically, the common control processing means 610 determines a specific value and a pointer (BTRP) based on the result lottery result and the stopped rotating reel 62 (see FIG. 19).
The first stop correct answer processing means 630 is for performing stop control related to the stop process at the time of the first stop correct answer. Specifically, the first stop correct answer processing means 630 defines the subsequent stop control process when the stop operation sequence of the first stop is appropriate (see FIGS. 20 to 25).

The reel stop processing means 600 is for performing the stop processing of the rotary reel 62 by using the single stop table 440 selected by the table selection means 500. Specifically, the reel stop processing means 600 is described in the single stop table 440. The rotating reel 62 is rotated by the number of sliding symbols that is being operated (specifically, the number of sliding symbols at the position of the symbol number at the timing of the stop operation), and then the rotation is stopped.
As shown in FIG. 5, the transition states in the main controller 110 include a normal state, an internal winning state (RT1 state, RB winning state), a bonus state (RB state), and an SB state.

  The normal state is controlled by the normal state control means 160. When the bonus (RB) is won by the winning lottery by the winning lottery means 120 in the normal state or the SB state, the normal state or the SB state is shifted to the internal winning state (RT1 state, RB winning state). In this internal winning state (RT1 state, RB winning state), the replay lottery probability is higher than in the normal state.

  The RT state in the internal winning state (RT1 state, RB winning state) is a state in which the replay controlled by the RT control means 170 is won with high probability. In the RT state, when the combination of the symbols 61 of the RB bonus transition combination is completed, the RB winning state, the so-called RT1 state, is shifted to the bonus state (RB state). This bonus state (RB state) is controlled by bonus control means 180.

When a predetermined number, for example, 26 sheets are paid out in the bonus state (RB state), the state shifts from the RB state to the normal state.
The SB state is a so-called single bonus, which can be shifted from the normal state, and is played only once, and if it is not won even if it is won, the right to win (winning flag) It is not carried over to the game of.
In the present embodiment, the main control device 110 is in a state other than the RB state and the SB state (that is, the normal state and the internal winning state), and the sub control device 300 is in a state other than the AT state (that is, the non-AT state). State) is a normal game.

As shown in FIG. 6, the transition state (effect state) in the special state (AT) includes two states, a normal state during AT and an additional effect state during AT.
When shifting to the special state (AT), the normal state during the AT is entered. In the normal state during AT, if the winning effect determination execution means 390 determines that the transition to the additional effect state during AT is selected in the lottery of whether or not to shift to the additional effect state during AT, the transition to the additional effect state during AT is performed. Transition is determined, and the transition to the extra performance state (additional game) during the AT is performed.

Note that the special state (AT) is set to end when it is determined that the end condition has been achieved when a predetermined number of medals (specified number of acquisitions) has been paid out.
The extra game is executed in the extra stage during AT.
As shown in FIG. 7, in the specific value acquisition table, the result of the winning lottery (specifically, the first lottery flag value (FPL: a flag pointer representing a winning combination including a small role) and the second lottery flag value ( FPH: a flag pointer related to a bonus or the like)) and the rotating reel 62 (left rotating reel 64, middle rotating reel 66, right rotating reel 68, end rotating reel 69) on which the first stop operation has been performed. A specific value (CW) is set. This specific value acquisition table is stored in the specific value acquisition means 520. The specific value acquisition means 520 uses the specific value acquisition table to determine the combination lottery result (first lottery flag value (FPL) and second lottery flag value (FPH)) and the rotating reel 62 of the first stop operation. The specific value (CW) is acquired.

  As shown in FIG. 8, the pointer determination table 542 has a specific value (CW) and the rotating reel 62 (left rotating reel 64, middle rotating reel 66, right rotating reel 68, end rotating reel 69) on which the stop operation has been performed. Based on the above, a predetermined pointer is set. This pointer determination table 542 is stored in the pointer determination means 540. By using this pointer determination table 542, the pointer determination means 540 has the specific value (CW) and the rotation reel 62 (left rotation reel 64, middle rotation reel 66, right rotation reel 68, end rotation) on which the stop operation has been performed. Based on the reel 69), a predetermined pointer (hexadecimal number) is determined. The pointers in the pointer determination table 542 are classified into a plurality of types according to the numerical range. Specifically, the pointer includes a stop table pointer (BTRP) whose numerical value (hexadecimal) range is “00” to “04” (“00” or more and “04” or less), and its numerical range is “05”. ”To“ 0A ”(“ 05 ”or more and“ 0A ”or less) and the transition determination pointer (BTRG).

Although not shown in FIG. 8, the notation of the pointer may be “-”. This means “unused” and “cannot be selected”. Here, when this "-" is provided in a plurality of different specific values (CW), the data can be compressed by combining them. For example, the pointers of the left rotation reel 64, the middle rotation reel 66, the right rotation reel 68, and the end rotation reel 69 of one specific value (CW) are “pointer G”, “pointer H”, “−−”, “pointer”. "K", and the pointers of the left rotation reel 64, the middle rotation reel 66, the right rotation reel 68, and the end rotation reel 69 of the other specific value (CW) are "-", "-", "pointer". In the case of “I” and “Pointer K”, the pointer data of the left rotation reel 64, the middle rotation reel 66, the right rotation reel 68, and the end rotation reel 69 of these two specific values (CW) are stored as “Pointer”. G, “pointer H”, “pointer I”, and “pointer K” can be stored together as pointer data of one specific value (CW). As a result, the data of the pointer can be compressed, and the storage capacity (memory) can be saved.
As shown in FIG. 9, in the transition determination related table, a transition table pointer (transition P) and a stop table pointer (BTRP) are associated with each other in relation to the transition determination pointer (BTRG).

  When the branch table determination unit 560 acquires the transition table pointer (transition P) in the transition determination pointer (BTRG), performs the specific value transition determination, and shifts the specific value (CW) to the new specific value (CW). The specific value (CW) is updated (rewritten) to a value obtained by adding “1” to the current specific value (CW). Further, when the branch process determining means 560 does not shift the specific value (CW) to the new specific value (CW) as a result of the specific value transition determination, the stop table pointer (BTRP) in the transition determination pointer (BTRG) is set. Acquired and the stop process of the rotating reel 62 is performed by the stop table 440 corresponding thereto.

  The transition table pointer (transition P) in the transition determination related table of FIG. 9 is set so that it can be calculated from the data of the transition determination pointer (BTRG) by a combination of predetermined arithmetic processing and condition determination.

  Further, in the above-described migration determination related table of FIG. 9, the data of both the migration determination pointer (BTRG) and the migration table pointer (migration P) are displayed (stored) in the same state, but are not identical. This also occurs. When the values of the migration determination pointer (BTRG) and the migration table pointer (migration P) are the same (when they match), only one migration determination pointer (BTRG) is stored, and the other migration table pointer (migration P). May be omitted (data is not stored).

  Specifically, for example, when the transition determination pointer (BTRG) is “05”, the stop table pointer (transition P) is also “05” and the numerical value is the same, so only “05” of the transition determination pointer (BTRG). The data “05” stored in the transition determination pointer (BTRG) is used without storing “05” of the stop table pointer (transition P). As a result, when it is determined that both values are the same by a predetermined flag or the like, the data of the transfer determination pointer (BTRG) is used as it is as the transfer table pointer (transfer P), so that the data is shared. The storage capacity (memory) can be saved. Note that the data to be stored may be reversed, and the transition determination pointer (BTRG) may be omitted and only the transition table pointer (transition P) may be stored.

  Here, in the migration determination related table shown in FIG. 9, a so-called front-alignment is performed so that the frequently used migration determination pointer (BTRG) is arranged at the head of data (the earlier side in which the program processing is performed). doing. When executing a program, it is possible to increase the execution processing speed of the program by locating frequently used data on the top side in order to determine whether or not it corresponds to the data on the top side.

  Further, when arranging these data, if the data is repeatedly generated in a predetermined pattern as described above, the data can be shared and used as described above. For this reason, when the data of the migration determination related table shown in FIG. 9 is arranged, such data is arranged so that it is repeatedly generated, and further, such repeated data is set to be arranged on the head side. Yes. Thereby, the execution processing speed can be further increased.

In the transition determination data table shown in FIG. 10, the transition determination value (““ 0 "or" 1 ") is determined.
The branch process determining means 560 uses the transition determination data table in the specific value transition determination process to determine the transition determination value determined by the symbol number when the stop switch 50 is operated and the transition table pointer (transition P). Is “0”, the specific value (CW) is shifted to a new specific value (CW). Specifically, the updated value obtained by adding 1 to the current specific value (CW) is used as the new specific value (CW) (rewritten).

  The branch process determining means 560 uses the transition determination data table in the specific value transition determination process to determine the transition determination value determined by the symbol number when the stop switch 50 is operated and the transition table pointer (transition P). Is “1”, the specific value (CW) is not shifted to the new specific value (CW).

  When storing the symbol number (symbol position) and the corresponding data (specifically, data consisting of “0” and “1”), as shown by the symbol X in FIG. When storing 8 data (8 types of migration table pointer (migration P) migration judgment value “0” or “1”) as 1 byte for each symbol (one frame) of (each symbol position) When the number of types of table pointers (migration P) increases, a capacity (frame) for eight data must be prepared, so that the capacity (frame) for data is wasted. In this case, since the type of the migration table pointer (migration P) is not necessarily a multiple of 8, empty data is generated, and the capacity (frame) for the empty data is wasted. In the present embodiment, as indicated by a symbol P in FIG. 10, a total of 8 data (shift determination) for 4 symbols (4 frames) of symbol numbers (symbol positions) of two types of transition table pointers (migration P). Value) is stored as 1 byte. Similarly, as indicated by symbols P, Q, R, S, and T in FIG. 10, the total of four symbols (four frames) of symbol numbers (symbol positions) of two types of migration table pointers (migration P). Eight pieces of data (migration judgment value) are stored as 1 byte.

  That is, the data of the migration determination values of the two types of migration table pointers (migration P) has a total of 5 bytes including symbols P, Q, R, S, and T. In this way, a total of 8 pieces of data (migration judgment value) for 4 symbols (4 frames) of symbol numbers (symbol positions) of the two types of migration table pointers (migration P) are stored as 1 byte. Thus, even if the type of the migration table pointer (migration P) is added, 8 pieces of data (8 types of migration table pointer (migration P)) for each symbol (one frame) as described above (migration judgment) Compared with the case of storing (value) as 1 byte, it is possible to suppress the waste of capacity (frame) for empty data. The above-described configuration is possible because the symbol number (symbol position) of the present embodiment is a total of 20 symbols (20 frames) from 0 to 19 because the data fits better. It has become one.

  As shown in FIG. 11, the stop data table 420 includes a plurality of stop tables 440 (specifically, for example, “00”, “01”, “02”,..., Etc. of the stop table 440). ing. A numerical value such as “01” in the stop table 440 is a numerical value of the stop table pointer (BTRP). Each stop table 440 includes a symbol number of the rotary reel 62 when the stop switch 50 is stopped, and the number of sliding symbols (specifically, 0, 1, 2,. 3 and 4) are shown.

  Specifically, for example, when the stop table pointer (BTRP) is “01” using the intermediate rotation reel 66, “01” in the stop table 440 is selected, and the stop switch 50 at that time is stopped. When the symbol number of the middle position when operated is “6”, the stop data table 420 indicates that the number of sliding frames is “0”, and it stops as it is without moving (sliding). , “Red 7 (R7)” stops at the middle position. Similarly, when “03” of the stop table 440 is selected by the intermediate rotation reel 66 and the symbol number at the middle position when the stop operation is performed is “05”, the stop data table 420 is used to determine the sliding piece. The number becomes “2”, and the frame is rotated (slid) by two frames and stopped, and the “bar (BR)” of the symbol number “3” stops at the middle position.

  In the stop data table 420 shown in FIG. 11, the number of sliding frames is shown for easy understanding, but actually, the numerical value of the number of sliding frames is not stored in each column. In actual data, the bit display of “0” and “1” is performed, the symbol position that can be stopped is “1”, and the symbol position that cannot be stopped is “0”. Based on the bit display, the number of frames that can be stopped is rotated. Of course, the present invention is not limited to this, and the numerical value of the number of sliding frames may be directly stored, and the rotary reel 62 may be rotated and moved by the number of symbols (number of frames).

  In the list table of processing based on the pointer shown in FIG. 12, the range of the value of the acquisition pointer, the name, and the specification content thereof are described. The acquisition pointers “00” to “04” serve as stop table pointers (BTRP) and are used to select a single stop table. The acquisition pointers “05” to “0A” become a transition determination pointer (BTRG) and are used for the transition determination process.

In FIG. 13, in the special process 1, the special value (CW), the rotating reel 62 that has been stopped, and the pointer determined by the stop operation order are shown in the special process 1 table. In this special process 1, from the first stop operation that performs the first stop operation to the third stop operation that performs the third stop operation, that is, except for the final stop operation, A pointer (BTRP) for stopping the replay (RP) is collected at the middle position of the rotary reel 62. As a result, the replay (RP) can be stopped at the middle line as the active line 86.
Then, in the fourth stop operation (final stop operation) for the fourth stop operation, the blue (BRP) pointer that stops the blue 7 (B7) at the middle position of each rotary reel 62 using the data of the specific value 15 is used. ). As a result, blue 7 (B7) stops at the middle line as the active line 86.

  As a result, the combinations of stop symbols on the effective line 86 in the left rotation reel 64, the middle rotation reel 66, the right rotation reel 68, and the end rotation reel 69 are “RP, RP, RP, B7”, “RP, RP, B7”. , RP "," RP, B7, RP, RP "," B7, RP, RP, RP ". The combination of these four types of symbols is a duplicate winning combination, and each of them is a winning combination, and will always be winning.

  In FIG. 14, in the special process 2, the specific value (CW), the stopped rotating reel 62, and the pointer determined by the stop operation order are shown in the special process 2 table. In this special process 2, from the first stop operation that performs the first stop operation to the third stop operation that performs the third stop operation, that is, except for the final stop operation, A pointer (BTRP) for stopping the replay (RP) is collected at the middle position of the rotary reel 62. As a result, the replay (RP) can be stopped at the middle line as the active line 86.

In the fourth stop operation (final stop operation) for the fourth stop operation, the data of the specific value 17 is used, and the bar (BR), blank 3 (B3), A pointer (BTRP) for stopping the symbol of either RB (RB) or blank 4 (B4) is collected. As a result, any symbol of the bar (BR), the blank 3 (B3), the RB (RB), or the blank 4 (B4) can be stopped on the middle line as the effective line 86. In addition, in this specification, the design of either such a bar (BR), blank 3 (B3), RB (RB), or blank 4 (B4) is in the format of “BR / B3 / RB / B4”. Omitted.
As a result, the combination of stop symbols on the effective line 86 in the left rotation reel 64, the middle rotation reel 66, the right rotation reel 68, and the end rotation reel 69 is “RP, RP, RP, BR / B3 / RB / B4”, "RP, RP, BR / B3 / RB / B4, RP", "RP, BR / B3 / RB / B4, RP, RP", "BR / B3 / RB / B4, RP, RP, RP" Become. The combination of these four types of symbols is a duplicate winning combination, and each of them is a winning combination, and will always be winning.

In FIG. 15, depending on the FPL which is a part of the result lottery result and whether or not the bonus (RB) is won (whether or not a winning flag is established, that is, whether or not it is inside), The contents of the internal winning determination process are shown in the internal winning determination process table.
If the first lottery flag value (FPL), which is a part of the role lottery result, is in the range of “07” to “36”, whether or not the bonus (RB) winning flag is established (internal or non-internal) The first determination process is performed regardless of whether or not it is inside.
When the first lottery flag value (FPL), which is a part of the role lottery result, is in the range of “37” to “66” and the winning flag for the bonus (RB) is not established (not inside) The first stop determination process (see FIG. 16) is performed.
When the first lottery flag value (FPL), which is a part of the role lottery result, is in the range of “37” to “66”, and the bonus (RB) winning flag is established (internal) The common control process (see FIG. 19) is performed.

FIG. 16 shows the first lottery flag value (FPL), which is a part of the result of the lottery, and the stopped rotating reel (L: left rotating reel 64, C: middle rotating reel 66, R: right rotating reel 68, Q: data for determining whether or not the first stop operation sequence is correct by the end rotating reel 69).
The numerical value of the stop operation order bit (in binary notation) at the right end of FIG. 16 indicates the position where the stop operation order of the first stop operation in the specific value (CW) column is correct. Specifically, in the area of the stop operation order bit “0001” (that is, “1”), the area “1” surrounded by the dotted line in the specific value (CW) column is on the left rotating reel 64, In the area, the first stop operation means that the left rotation reel 64 is a correct stop operation. Accordingly, the first lottery flag value (FPL), which is a part of the result lottery result, is “07” to “0C”, “1F” to “24”, “37” to “3C”, and “4F”. In the region of “54”, the first stop operation means that the left rotating reel 64 is a correct stop operation.

Similarly, in the area of the stop operation order bit “0010” (that is, “2”), the area “2” surrounded by the dotted line in the specific value (CW) column is located on the intermediate rotation reel 66. The first stop operation means that the intermediate rotation reel 66 is a correct stop operation. Similarly, in the area of the stop operation order bit “0011” (that is, “3”), the area of “3” surrounded by the dotted line in the specific value (CW) column is located on the right rotating reel 68. The first stop operation means that the right rotation reel 68 is a correct stop operation. Similarly, the area of the stop operation order bit “0100” (that is, “4”) has the area “4” surrounded by the dotted line in the specific value (CW) column in the end rotary reel 69, so The first stop operation means that the end rotary reel 69 is a correct stop operation.
There are four types of failure bits, “0000”, “0001”, “0010”, “0011” (both in binary notation), and these are in order “0”, “1”, “2”, “3” (in decimal notation). ) In the column of the specific value (CW) in FIG. 16 except for the area surrounded by the dotted line used for the correct stop operation of the first stop operation determination. The specific value range is set by the data when the stop operation sequence fails and the first lottery flag value (FPL) which is a part of the combination lottery result (see FIGS. 17A and 17B). ).

As shown in FIG. 17A, when the first lottery flag value (FPL) which is a part of the winning lottery result is “07” to “1E” and “37” to “4E”, the failure bit is “ In 0000, the specific value (CW) range is set to “88” to “8A” (that is, “88”, “89”, or “8A”).
In addition, when the first lottery flag value (FPL) which is a part of the result lottery result is “07” to “1E” and “37” to “4E”, and the failure bit is “0001”, the specific value (CW ) The range is set to “8B” to “8D” (that is, “8B”, “8C”, or “8D”). When the first lottery flag value (FPL), which is a part of the role lottery result, is “07” to “1E” and “37” to “4E”, and the failure bit is “0010”, the specific value (CW) range Is set to “8E” to “90” (that is, “8E”, “8F”, or “90”). When the first lottery flag value (FPL), which is a part of the role lottery result, is “07” to “1E”, “37” to “4E”, and the failure bit is “0011”, the specific value (CW) range Are set to “91” to “93” (that is, “91”, “92” or “93”).

As shown in FIG. 17B, when the first lottery flag value (FPL), which is a part of the winning lottery result, is “1F” to “36” and “4F” to “66”, the failure bit is “ In “0011”, the specific value (CW) range is set to “88” to “8A” (that is, “88” “89” or “8A”).
Further, when the first lottery flag value (FPL), which is a part of the role lottery result, is “1F” to “36” and “4F” to “66”, the failure bit is “0010” and the specific value (CW ) The range is set to “8B” to “8D” (that is, “8B”, “8C”, or “8D”). When the first lottery flag value (FPL), which is a part of the role lottery result, is “1F” to “36” and “4F” to “66”, the failure bit is “0001” and the specific value (CW) range Is set to “8E” to “90” (that is, “8E”, “8F”, or “90”). When the first lottery flag value (FPL), which is a part of the role lottery result, is “1F” to “36” and “4F” to “66”, the failure bit is “0000” and the specific value (CW) range Are set to “91” to “93” (that is, “91”, “92” or “93”).

  As shown in FIG. 18, the pointer is determined by the specific value in the first stop operation order incorrect answer process and the rotating reel 62 that has been stopped. Based on this pointer, processing similar to that described in FIG. 12 is determined. That is, when the acquisition pointer is “00” to “04”, the numerical value of the pointer becomes the stop table pointer (BTRP), and stop processing is performed using the stop table based on the stop table pointer. When the acquisition pointer is “05” to “0A”, the transition determination pointer (BTRG) is set, and the specific value transition determination process based on the transition determination data table (see FIG. 10) is performed.

Here, in FIG. 18, specific values “88” to “8A” are combinations of winning symbols (BR, RP, RP, RP) (RP, BR, RP, RP) (RP, RP, BR, RP). (RP, RP, RP, BR) is used for the winning combination.
For example, when the duplicate winning combination is won and the specific values “88” to “8A” are used, if the stop operation order is other than the final stop (first to third stop operations), the specific value “88” is set. When the replay (RP) is stopped at the middle stage of the rotating reel 62 that has been used and stopped, and the stop operation order is the final stop (fourth stop operation), the specific value “89” is used, and this specific value “89” Then, depending on the stop operation timing, the winning symbol cannot be stopped and a so-called “spill” is generated, and the specific value transition determination process using the transition determination data table of FIG. Done. If the stop timing is such that the winning symbol can be stopped by the specific value transition determination process, the specific value “89” can be used as it is to stop the bar (BR) and win a prize, but the specific value transition determination process If the stop timing cannot stop the winning symbol, the specific value “89” is incremented by “+1”, updated to the specific value “8A”, and stop control based on the “8A” is performed. The pattern will be ready.

  In the specific values “8B” to “8D”, combinations of winning symbols (B3, RP, RP, RP) (RP, B3, RP, RP) (RP, RP, B3, RP) (RP, RP, RP, B3) duplicate winning combination is used. Even in this case, as in the case of the specific values “88” to “8A” described above, the stop process divided into the final stop and the stop process other than the final stop and the stop process by the specific value transition determination process are performed in the same manner.

  In the specific values “8E” to “90”, the combination of winning symbols (RB, RP, RP, RP) (RP, RB, RP, RP) (RP, RP, RB, RP) (RP, RP, RP, RB) is used. Even in this case, as in the case of the specific values “88” to “8A” described above, the stop process divided into the final stop and the stop process other than the final stop and the stop process by the specific value transition determination process are performed in the same manner.

  With specific values “91” to “93”, (B4, RP, RP, RP) (RP, B4, RP, RP) (RP, RP, B4, RP) (RP, RP, RP, RP) B4) duplicate winning combination is used. Even in this case, as in the case of the specific values “88” to “8A” described above, the stop process divided into the final stop and the stop process other than the final stop and the stop process by the specific value transition determination process are performed in the same manner.

  In FIG. 19, when it is determined to perform the common control process depending on a part of the result lottery result of FIG. 15 and the presence or absence of the inside, the pointer is determined using this common control process table. That is, the specific value (CW) is determined by the first lottery flag value (FPL) that is a part of the winning lottery result, and the pointer is determined by the specific value (CW) and the rotating reel 62 that has been stopped. The The pointer ranges from “00” to “04” and becomes a stop table pointer (BTRP) (see FIG. 12), and a single stop table corresponding to the stop table point is determined, and the stop table Stop control using is performed.

20 and 21, either process 1 or process 2 is determined depending on the first lottery flag value (FPL) which is a part of the result lottery result and whether it is inside. Further, the specific value (CW) is determined by the first lottery flag value (FPL), and the stop operation order pointer (ATP) is determined depending on which of the first to fourth stop operations is the stop operation order. Is done.
Here, when the process 1 is selected, based on the stop operation order pointer (ATP) acquired in the stop operation order pointer acquisition table in FIG. 20, the pointer is determined by the stop operation order correct answer incorrect pointer determination table in FIG. 23. Is determined.
Further, when the process 2 is selected, the stop operation order pointer is changed by the stop operation order pointer change processing table in FIG. 22 based on the stop operation order pointer (ATP) acquired in the stop operation order pointer acquisition table in FIG. (ATP) change processing is performed.

  In the stop operation order pointer change processing table of FIG. 22, when the process 2 is selected, the stop operation order pointer (ATP) is changed from the value in the left column of FIG. 22 to the value in the right column. Become. For example, when the process 2 is selected and the stop operation order pointer (ATP) is “01”, the stop operation order pointer (ATP) is changed to “00” based on the table. . Then, the process shown in FIG. 23 is performed using the changed stop operation order pointer (ATP).

In the stop operation order correct / incorrect answer pointer determination table of FIG. 23, the pointer is determined by the stop operation order pointer (ATP) determined in FIG. 20, FIG. 21, or FIG.
Here, when the stop operation order pointer (ATP) and the stop operation of the rotating reel 62 are correct, the pointer is selected from the range of “00” to “04”. The value becomes a stop table pointer (BTRP), and stop processing is performed by the corresponding single stop table.
Also, when the stop operation order pointer (ATP) and the stop operation of the rotating reel 62 are incorrect, the so-called stop of the pointer is “0B”, “0C”, “0D”, or “0E”. It becomes an operation order incorrect answer pointer.

  Based on the stop operation order incorrect answer pointer and a part of the result lottery result (specifically, a whale label corresponding to FPL), a specific value is obtained using the stop operation order incorrect answer pointer specific value acquisition table of FIG. (CW) is specified. A pointer is determined using the stop operation order incorrect solution pointer determination table of FIG. 25 based on the specific value (CW) specified in FIG. 24 and the rotating reel that has been stopped. As shown in the list table of processing based on the pointer in FIG. 12, the pointers “00” to “04” become stop table pointers (BTRP), and a single stop table is specified. Stop processing is performed by the table. In addition, the pointers “05” to “0A” are subjected to the specific value transition determination process. When the transition is performed, the current specific value is updated by “+1”, and the pointers “05” to “0A” are updated. If the stop table pointer (BTRP) is determined and stop processing is performed, and no transition is made, BTRP is acquired according to FIG. 9, a single stop table is determined, and stop processing is performed.

A general game control process executed by the main control device 110 for each game will be described based on the flowchart shown in FIG.
In step 112, the main controller 110 determines whether or not the start switch 40 has been operated. Here, if it is determined that the start switch 40 has been operated, the main controller 110 makes it impossible to set the number of bets. Thereafter, the process proceeds to the next step 113. On the other hand, if it is determined that the start switch 40 has not been operated, step 112 is again performed.
As a premise of this step 112, a betting number setting process is performed. In this betting number setting process, it is determined whether or not a prescribed betting number is set as the betting number. Specifically, the main controller 110 determines whether or not the number of medals set as the number of bets on the game has reached a prescribed number 3 of bets.
In step 113, the role lottery means 120 performs a role lottery process. The winning number is determined by the lottery process. Further, the transfer lottery means 330 performs a transfer lottery process. At this time, the results of the role lottery and the transfer lottery are transmitted from the main control device 110 to the sub-control device 300. When these processes are completed, the process proceeds to the next step 114.

In step 114, rotation variation processing (rotation start processing) of the rotating reel 62 in the reel unit 60 is performed. When the main control device 110 operates the stop switch 50 corresponding to the rotating reel 62 after the rotating reel 62 reaches a predetermined rotation speed and then enters a so-called steady rotation, the stop control means By 140, the rotation of each rotary reel 62 is stopped. The stop operation sequence corresponding to the winning combination of the stop switch 50 (left stop switch L, middle stop switch C, right stop switch R, end stop switch H) at this time is a predetermined storage area formed in the main controller 110. And is read out in subsequent processing.
Further, after all stop operations are completed, the rotation stop information of all the rotation reels 62 is transmitted from the transmission unit 260 of the main control device 110 to the reception unit 310 of the sub control device 300. Then, when the rotation variation process for all the rotary reels 62 is completed, the process proceeds to the next step 115.

In step 115, the payout control means 250 performs a payout process corresponding to the payout number of medals determined based on the specific value (CW) or the like. In the case where payout is not required, payout processing is not performed. Then, the process ends.
In the flowchart shown in FIG. 26, the general game control process has been described. However, in the flowcharts shown in FIGS. 27 to 29, the stop control process is specifically described.
The stop operation process will be described based on the flowchart shown in FIG.
First, in step 311, the player operates the start switch 40 to be turned on. Then, the process proceeds to next Step 312.
In step 312, the role lottery means 120 performs a role lottery process. Then, the process proceeds to next Step 313.

In step 313, rotation of the rotary reel 62 in the reel unit 60 is started. Then, when the rotation speed of the rotary reel 62 reaches a predetermined rotation speed, the rotation becomes steady. Then, the process proceeds to next Step 314.
In step 314, the player operates the stop switch 50 serving as the first stop operation, so that the stop switch 50 serving as the first stop operation is activated (turns on). Then, the process proceeds to next Step 315.
In step 315, the specific value acquisition means 520 uses the first lottery flag value (FPL) and the second lottery flag value (FPH), which are all the results of the winning lottery, and the rotating reel 62 of the first stop operation. A specific value (CW) is acquired (see FIG. 7). Then, the process proceeds to next Step 316.

  In the present embodiment, the specific value (CW) is based on the combination of the first lottery flag value (FPL) and the second lottery flag value (FPL), which are all the results of the winning lottery, and the first stop reel. However, the present invention is not particularly limited to this, and based on the first lottery flag value (FPL) which is a part of the result of the winning lottery and the rotating reel 62 of the first stop operation, It is also possible to acquire a specific value (CW). Then, the second lottery flag value (FPH) may be reflected during the subsequent stop operation process.

In step 316, it is determined whether or not the current specific value (CW) is either “14”, “16”, or “F3”. When it is determined that the specific value (CW) is any one of “14”, “16”, and “F3”, the process proceeds to step 610 in FIG. 29 and the process proceeds to the special stop control process, and the specific value (CW) Is determined to be neither “14”, “16”, or “F3”, the process proceeds to the next step 317 to shift to the normal stop control process.
In step 317, various processes corresponding to the specific value (CW) acquired by the specific value acquisition means 520 and the stopped rotating reel 62 are performed. Eventually, a single stop table 440 is selected. The contents of these various processes will be described later in detail (see FIG. 28). Then, the process proceeds to next Step 318.
In step 318, the reel stop processing means 600 performs the stop processing of the rotary reel 62 in the first stop operation using the acquired single stop table 440. Specifically, the rotational movement of the rotary reel 62 is performed by the number of sliding frames calculated from the acquired stop table 440. Then, the process proceeds to next Step 319.

In step 319, the player performs the remaining stop operation other than the first stop operation (second (second stop operation), third (third stop operation) or fourth (fourth stop operation)). When the stop switch 50 is operated, the stop switch 50 as the stop operation is activated (turned on). Then, the process proceeds to the next step 320.
In step 320, various processes corresponding to the current specific value (CW) and the stopped rotating reel 62 are performed. Eventually, a single stop table 440 is selected. The contents of these various processes will be described later in detail (see FIG. 28). Then, the process proceeds to the next step 321.

In step 321, the reel stop processing unit 600 performs stop processing of the rotary reel 62 in the first stop operation using the acquired single stop table 440. Specifically, the rotational movement of the rotary reel 62 is performed by the number of sliding frames calculated from the acquired stop table 440. Then, the process proceeds to next Step 322.
In step 322, it is determined whether all the rotating reels 62 have stopped. When it is determined that all the rotating reels 62 are not stopped, the process returns to step 319, and when it is determined that all the rotating reels 62 are stopped, the process ends.

Based on the flowchart shown in FIG. 28, various processes corresponding to the current specific value (CW) and the stopped rotating reel 62 will be described.
First, in step 511, the pointer determination means 540 uses the pointer determination table 542 (see FIG. 8) to determine the current specific value (CW) and the type of the rotating reel 62 that has been stopped (left rotating reel 64, middle rotation). Pointers corresponding to the reel 66, the right rotation reel 68, and the end rotation reel 69) are determined. Then, the process proceeds to next Step 512.

Based on the pointer determined by the pointer determination unit 540, in step 512, the branch process determination unit 560 performs a plurality of processes (specifically, two processes of a specific value transition determination process and a stop table acquisition process). Thus, it is determined which process is to be performed.
Specifically, it is determined whether the numerical value of the pointer falls within the range corresponding to which process.

When the hexadecimal value as the pointer is “00” or more and “04” or less (“00” to “04”), it is determined as stop table acquisition processing and the process proceeds to Step 513.
On the other hand, if the hexadecimal number as the pointer is not less than “05” and not more than “0A” (“05” to “0A”), it is determined as a specific value shift determination process and the process proceeds to step 515.

If it is determined in step 512 that the numerical value of the hexadecimal number as a pointer is “00” or more and “04” or less (“00” to “04”), and it is determined that the stop table acquisition process is to be executed, step 513 is performed. 1, data of a single stop table 440 corresponding to the pointer (stop table pointer (BTRP)) is acquired using the stop data table 420 (FIG. 11). Then, the process proceeds to next Step 514.
In step 514, using the single stop table 440 obtained from the stop data table 420 (FIG. 11), the number of sliding symbols (0, 1, 2, 3 or 4) corresponding to the symbol number where the stop switch 50 is operated. ) Is obtained (calculated). Then, the process ends.

  If it is determined in step 512 that the hexadecimal number as the pointer is greater than or equal to “05” and less than or equal to “0A” (“05” to “0A”), and it is determined to execute the specific value transition determination process, In step 515, using the transition determination related table (FIG. 9), the transition data (specifically, the transition table pointer (transition P)) corresponding to the pointer (transition determination pointer (BTRG)) and the stop table 440 Data (specifically, stop table pointer (BTRP)) is acquired. Then, the process proceeds to next Step 516.

In step 516, the specific value shift determination means 680 determines whether or not to shift the specific value (CW) to a new specific value (CW) (specific value shift determination). Specifically, according to the transition determination data table (FIG. 10), the transition table pointer (transition P) and the symbol number of a predetermined position (specifically, the middle position) at the timing when the stop switch 50 is stopped, It is determined whether the transition determination value is “0” or “1”. When the transition determination value determined by the transition table pointer (transition P) and the symbol number is “0”, it is determined to “migrate”, and when the transition determination value is “1”, “no transition”. To be determined. If “no shift” is determined by the specific value shift determination, the process proceeds to step 514, and if “transfer”, the process proceeds to step 517.
In step 517, 1 is added to the numerical value (hexadecimal number) of the current specific value (CW), and the numerical value after the addition is set as a new specific value (CW) (updated). Then, the process returns to step 511.

  The special stop control process will be described based on the flowchart shown in FIG. The special stop control process is performed when the specific value acquired by the specific value acquisition unit 520 is other than a predetermined value (specifically, the specific value (CW) is “14”, “16”, or “F3”). ), After the specific value is acquired by the specific value acquisition means 520, the specific value can be directly changed based on the order of the stop operation of the rotary reel 62. Finally, a single stop table 440 is finally selected by this specific value, another specific value calculated based on this specific value, a pointer, etc., and the stop table 440 stops the operation. Control is performed.

  Specifically, when it is determined that the specific value (CW) in step 316 of FIG. 27 is “14”, “16”, or “F3”, in step 610, the current specific value (CW) is “ 14 "or not. When it is determined that the current specific value (CW) is “14”, the process proceeds to step 611, and when it is determined that the current specific value (CW) is not “14”, the process proceeds to step 612.

  In step 611, special processing 1 is performed. This special process 1 uses the special process 1 table shown in FIG. 13 to collect “14” as the specific value (CW) except for the final stop operation (first to third stop operations) The replay (RP) is stopped at the middle stage of the rotated reel 62. In the final stop operation (fourth stop operation), “15” is collected as the specific value (CW), and blue 7 (B7) is stopped at the middle stage of the rotating reel 62 that has been stopped. As a result, combinations of winning symbols (B7, RP, RP, RP), (RP, B7, RP, RP), (RP, RP, B7, RP), (RP, RP, RP, B7) that are duplicate winning combinations ) Can be aligned. Then, the process ends.

If it is determined in step 610 that the current specific value (CW) is not “14”, it is determined in step 612 whether or not the current specific value (CW) is “16”. When it is determined that the current specific value (CW) is “16”, the process proceeds to step 613, and when it is determined that the current specific value (CW) is not “16”, the process proceeds to step 614.
In step 613, special processing 2 is performed. This special process 2 uses the special process 2 table shown in FIG. 14 to collect “16” as the specific value (CW) except for the final stop operation (first to third stop operations), and stop the stop operation. The replay (RP) is stopped at the middle stage of the rotated reel 62. In the final stop operation (fourth stop operation), “17” is collected as the specific value (CW), and the bar (BR), blank 3 (B3), RB ( Any one symbol of RB) or blank 4 (B4) is stopped. Thereby, a combination of winning symbols (BR / B3 / RB / B4, RP, RP, RP), (RP, BR / B3 / RB / B4, RP, RP), (RP, RP, BR), which are duplicate winning combinations / B3 / RB / B4, RP), (RP, RP, RP, BR / B3 / RB / B4) can be aligned. Then, the process ends.

  If it is determined in step 612 that the current specific value (CW) is not “16”, an internal winning determination process is performed in step 614. Specifically, it is determined whether or not the current gaming state is inside and the first lottery flag value (FPL) is “37” to “66”. When it is determined that the current gaming state is in the inside and the first lottery flag value (FPL) is “37” to “66”, the process proceeds to step 615 and is determined not to be in such a state. If YES, go to step 616.

In step 615, common control processing is performed by the common control processing means 610 using the common control processing table shown in FIG. Specifically, using the common control processing table shown in FIG. 19, a specific value (CW) is determined by the first lottery flag value (FPL) which is a part of the winning lottery result, and this specific value (CW) The pointer is determined by the rotating reel 62 that has been stopped. Based on the numerical value of the pointer, a single stop table 440 is determined, and stop processing is performed by the stop table 440. Note that all the pointers collected in the common control processing table are in the range of “01” to “04” and become stop table pointers (BTRP), and all stop tables are executed without performing the specific value transition determination processing. Is collected.
If it is determined in step 614 that the current gaming state is inside and the first lottery flag value (FPL) is not “37” to “66”, in step 616, the first stop correct answer processing means 630 is determined. Thus, it is determined whether or not the first stop operation order is correct. If it is determined that the first stop operation order is correct, the process proceeds to step 618, and if it is determined that the first stop operation order is incorrect, the process proceeds to step 617.

  In step 617, the first stop operation order incorrect answer process is performed. In the first stop operation order incorrect answer process, the specific value range shown in FIG. 17 is determined based on the failure bit of FIG. 16 and a part of the winning lottery result (first lottery flag value (FPL)). The specific value (CW) based on the stop operation sequence shown in FIG. 18 and the rotating reel 62 that has been stopped are determined by the pointer, and based on the value of the pointer, the stop table pointer (BTRP) in FIG. Processing is determined, and finally a stop table pointer (BTRP) is determined to define a single stop table 440.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step 616 that the first stop operation order is correct, in step 618, the first stop correct answer processing means 580 determines whether the stop operation order is correct in the remaining stop operations. Is determined. If the first stop correct answer processing means 580 determines that the stop operation order in the remaining stop operations is not correct (incorrect), the process proceeds to step 619, and if determined to be correct, the process proceeds to step 620. .

  In step 619, the first stop correct answer processing means 630 performs the remaining stop operation order incorrect answer process. Specifically, in the remaining stop operations of the first stop operation, if the stop operation order is incorrect, the stop operation order incorrect answer pointers (0B, 0C, 0D in the stop operation order correct answer pointer determination table of FIG. , 0E) is selected. A new specific value (CW) is determined by the stop operation order incorrect answer pointer specific value acquisition table of FIG. 24 based on this stop operation order incorrect answer pointer and a part of the lottery result (FPL). Then, the pointer is determined by the new specific value (CW) and the stopped rotation reel 62 by the stop operation order incorrect answer pointer determination table of FIG. In the case of “00” to “04”, it becomes a stop table pointer (BTRP), a corresponding single stop table 440 is collected, stop processing is performed by the stop table 440, and the pointer is In the case of “05” to “0A” shown in FIG. 12, the specific value transition determination process described above is performed, and finally the stop table pointer (BTRP) is determined, and the corresponding single stop table 440 is determined. Are collected, and stop processing is performed by the stop table 440. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 621.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step 618 that the stop operation order is correct for the remaining stop operations, stop operation order correct answer processing is performed in step 620. Specifically, in the stop operation order correct / incorrect answer pointer determination table shown in FIG. 23, the stop operation order correct pointer (“01” to “04” is determined by the stop operation order pointer (ATP) and the rotating reel 62 that has been stopped. ")" Is selected, the pointer becomes the stop table pointer (BTRP). A single stop table 440 corresponding to this BTRP is collected, and stop processing is performed by the stop table 440. Then, the process proceeds to the next step 621.
In step 621, it is determined whether or not the stop processing for all the rotary reels 62 has been completed. Then, when it is determined that the stop processing of all the rotating reels 62 has not ended, the process returns to step 618, and when it is determined that the stop processing has ended, the special stop control processing ends.

In the present embodiment, by having the configuration as described above, the following operations and effects are achieved.
In the present embodiment, after acquiring the specific value by the specific value acquisition means 520, depending on whether the specific value is a predetermined value, a normal stop control process that does not directly change the specific value based on the stop operation order; Separated into special stop control process that can directly change the specific value based on the stop operation order, and separately specified the stop process that has a strong influence on the stop operation process to be different from the normal stop control process. As a result, the processing efficiency and data compression can be improved, and the normal stop control process alone can avoid an enormous amount of data table capacity and reduce the amount of data.

  The above-mentioned “Do not change the specific value directly based on the stop operation order” means that when creating a table (table) for changing the specific value based on a plurality of parameters, The stop operation order by the stop switch 50 such as “first stop operation” for the first stop operation and “second stop operation” for the second stop operation directly enters the column or one axis). Means not.

In the present embodiment, the pointer determination unit 540 determines the pointer based on the specific value acquired by the specific value acquisition unit 520 and the rotating reel 62 on which the stop operation has been performed.
Based on this pointer, the branch process determining means 560 determines one of the branch processes from among a plurality of branch processes for setting a new specific value or selecting a single stop table 440.

In this branch process, when a single stop table 440 is selected, the reel stop processing means 600 performs the stop process using the selected single stop table 440.
When a new specific value is set in the branching process, the pointer determination unit 540 determines a new pointer based on the new specific value and the rotating reel 62 on which the stop operation has been performed. . Based on this new pointer, the same branching process as described above is repeated. Finally, when a single stop table 440 is selected, the reel stop processing means 600 uses the selected stop table 440 to stop the rotary reel 62.
Regardless of the result of the branching process, the reel stop processing unit 600 uses the stop table 440 to stop the rotating reel 62 when the single stop table 440 is finally selected. Is done.

  In the present embodiment, the pointer determination means 540 interposes (determines) a pointer, which is a new parameter, during processing based on the specific value and the rotating reel 62 on which the stop operation has been performed. . If a single stop table 440 can be selected based on the pointer, the stop table 440 is selected and the stop process is performed by the stop table 440. On the other hand, if the single stop table 440 cannot be selected using the pointer as it is, a new value as a specific value that is the same type of parameter is again used without newly adopting another type of parameter. A new specific value is set, a new pointer is determined based on the new specific value and the rotating reel 62 on which the stop operation has been performed, and a similar branching process is performed based on the pointer. By using a new specific value as a specific value without adopting another type of parameter, a new pointer is determined from the new specific value for the subsequent processing, and branch processing is performed using this new pointer. The same processing steps as those performed so far can be used repeatedly. This eliminates the need for a separate storage table using new parameters, a program for new processing steps using new parameters, etc., using specific values and pointers used so far. , The program for the same branch processing can be used repeatedly, the storage capacity of data and programs can be suppressed, the storage capacity can be reduced, the number of processing steps can be reduced, and stopped The efficiency of control processing can be improved.

Further, as shown in FIG. 15, in the internal winning determination process in the special stop control process, a part of the lottery result of the combination lottery is within a predetermined range (specifically, the first lottery flag value (FPL) is “37”. To “66”), the content of the stop control process is changed depending on whether or not the player has won the transition to the special game (that is, whether or not the game is inside). Specifically, in other cases, the first stop determination process is performed, but only in such a case, the common control process is performed (the contents of the process are changed).
According to the present embodiment, the content of the stop control process can be changed depending on whether it is inside or not, and it is analogized to the player by the difference in the stop control process that the current gaming state is inside. Can be made. The device for the stop control process can be used as a kind of notification effect for notifying the player whether or not it is inside. As a result, even if the lottery of the game has been missed and the winning symbol has not been won and the winning symbol cannot be stopped on the active line 86, the difference in stop control is determined. Thus, it is possible to provide a new enjoyment of knowing the gaming state.

  In the present embodiment, in the special stop control process, a stop operation order pointer (specifically, ATP (AT pointer)) is determined based on the specific value and the stop operation order. When the stop operation order is correct, the stop operation order correct pointer (specifically, “01”, “02”, “04”, etc. of BTRP) is displayed. The single stop table 440 is selected by this stop operation order correct answer pointer, and the stop operation order is incorrect by the stop operation order pointer and the rotating reel 62 (stop operation reel) on which the stop operation has been performed. At that time, the stop operation order incorrect answer pointer (specifically, “0B”, “0C”, “0D”, “0E”) is determined. Na A specific value is acquired, and a single stop table 440 is selected based on the new specific value and the rotating reel 62 (stop operation reel) on which the stop operation has been performed.

According to the present embodiment, by using the stop operation order pointer reflecting the stop operation order, the overall processing efficiency is improved as compared with the case where the stop control process is distinguished from the start by the stop operation order. The processing can be facilitated with a small storage capacity.
Specifically, in the present embodiment, the stop process is not divided from the beginning according to the stop operation order. That is, in the case of the first stop operation, a stop table for the first stop operation is provided from the beginning, and the stop process is divided from the beginning for each stop operation order in which stop processing is performed by the stop table. I'm not doing anything.
In the present embodiment, a new parameter reflecting a stop operation order called a stop operation order pointer (ATP) defined by the specific value and the stop operation order is created, and the parameter (stop operation order pointer (ATP)) is created. ) And the revolving reel 62 that has been stopped, create a pointer with a correct stop operation order (stop operation order correct pointer) and a pointer with an incorrect stop operation order (stop operation order incorrect answer pointer) Each stop process. In this way, by using a common parameter that initially reflects the stop operation order, the common processing part is compared with the case where the stop control process is divided from the beginning due to the difference in the stop operation order. The ratio is increased, the processing efficiency can be improved as a whole, and the processing can be facilitated with a small storage capacity.

According to the present embodiment, as described in the special process 1 table of FIG. 13, the special process 1 has a duplicate winning combination having a combination of winning symbols as described above.
That is, as combinations of stop symbols on the effective line 86 in the left rotation reel 64, the middle rotation reel 66, the right rotation reel 68, and the end rotation reel 69, "RP, RP, RP, B7", "RP, RP, B7, It has a duplicate winning combination having a combination of four types of symbols of “RP”, “RP, B7, RP, RP” and “B7, RP, RP, RP”.
Further, the replay (RP) and blue 7 (B7) are arranged on each rotating reel so as to be able to stop on the effective line 86 at any stop operation timing (see FIG. 2).
By having the combination of winning symbols as described above and the symbol arrangement on the reels, it is only necessary to prepare two types of stop tables 440 for each rotary reel 62. Specifically, the stop table 440 “02” and “04” with the left rotation reel 64, the stop table 440 “04” and “02” with the middle rotation reel 66, and the stop tables 440 “01” and “04” with the right rotation reel 68. 04 "and only the stop tables 440" 04 "and" 02 "with the end rotating reel 69 (see FIG. 13). That is, all winning symbol combinations in the replay (RP) and blue 7 (B7) can be obtained only with the specific values (CW) “14” and “15” for using such two types of stop tables 440. As a result, the data capacity can be reduced.

According to the present embodiment, as described in the special process 2 table of FIG. 14, the special process 2 has a duplicate winning combination having a combination of winning symbols as described above.
That is, “RP, RP, RP, BR / B3 / RB / B4”, “RP, RP, RP, BR / B3 / RB / B4”, “ RP, RP, BR / B3 / RB / B4, RP "," RP, BR / B3 / RB / B4, RP, RP "," BR / B3 / RB / B4, RP, RP, RP " Has a duplicate winning combination with a winning symbol combination.
Further, the replay (RP) and the bar (BR) / blank 3 (B3) / RB (RB) / blank 4 (B4) can be stopped on the effective line 86 at any stop operation timing. It arrange | positions on each rotation reel (refer FIG. 2). In addition, bar (BR) / blank 3 (B3) / RB (RB) / blank 4 (B4) means that any of these four symbols may be used, and substantially these four symbols. It can be seen as one kind of symbol in the symbol group.

  By having the combination of winning symbols and the symbol arrangement on the reels as described above, it is only necessary to prepare a plurality of stop tables 440 of as few as two types for each rotary reel 62. Specifically, the stop table 440 “02” and “03” with the left rotation reel 64, the stop table 440 “04” and “03” with the middle rotation reel 66, and the stop tables 440 “01” and “03” with the right rotation reel 68. 03 ”and only the stop tables 440“ 04 ”and“ 03 ”with the end rotating reel 69 (see FIG. 14). That is, the replay (RP) and the bar (BR) / blank 3 (B3) / RB (only the specific values (CW) “16” and “17” for using the two types of stop tables 440 are used. All winning symbol combinations in (RB) / blank 4 (B4) can be stopped. In this way, the combination of a large number of symbols 61 can be stopped in a state where the number of specific values (CW) for using the stop table 440 for each reel is also suppressed. As a result, the data capacity can be reduced.

  In addition, what was mentioned above uses the specific value (CW) for selecting the single stop table 440 as a structure here, However, without using such a specific value (CW), Even if two types of stop tables satisfying the above-mentioned preconditions are used, the same operations and effects as those described above can be achieved. That is, a stop table A for stopping B7 on the effective line 86 and a stop table B for stopping RP on the effective line 86 are provided at least as the stop table 440 of each rotary reel 62, and stop control means. 140 is the first stop operation in which the stop operation order is the (n-1) th stop operation from the first stop operation in which the stop operation order is the first stop operation when the above-described winning combination is won. (N-1) Until the stop operation, stop control is performed using the stop table B, and the n-th stop operation whose stop operation order is the n-th stop operation is performed using the stop table A. It may be. Here, n is the total number of the rotating reels 62, and is specifically set to 4 in the present embodiment, but is not limited to this and is an integer of 2 or more. . In this way, even if the specific value (CW) is not used, the combination of the winning symbols as described above and the symbol arrangement on the rotary reel 62 are used as preconditions. , B alone can stop the combination of winning symbols of B7 and RP, and the data capacity can be reduced.

According to the present embodiment, as described in the first stop incorrect answer process of FIGS. 17 and 18, the winning combination having a combination of winning symbols is provided.
Specifically, for example, as an overlapping winning combination processed with specific values “88” to “8A”, on the effective line 86 in the left rotating reel 64, the middle rotating reel 66, the right rotating reel 68, and the end rotating reel 69, As a combination of stop symbols, it will be any one of “RP, RP, RP, BR”, “RP, RP, BR, RP”, “RP, BR, RP, RP”, “BR, RP, RP, RP” 4 Has a double winning combination with a combination of types of symbols. That is, it is a combination of a plurality of winning symbols such that all combinations of one BR and the remaining RPs.
Furthermore, the replay (RP) is arranged on each rotating reel so that it can be stopped on the effective line 86 at any stop operation timing, but the bar (BR) is selected depending on the stop operation timing. A so-called “spillage” occurs in which the symbol cannot be stopped on the effective line 86 (see FIG. 2).

  By having the combination of winning symbols as described above and the symbol arrangement on the reel as preconditions, depending on the stop operation timing, even if a so-called “spill” occurs, there are three types of each reel 62 It is possible to stop using a small number of stop tables 440. Further, as described above, specifically, for example, “88”, “89”, and “8A” are used as the specific value (CW) corresponding to each stop table 440, so that replay (RP), bar (BR), The combination of many symbols 61 in spilling (losing) can be stopped. In this way, the combination of a large number of symbols 61 can be stopped in a state where the number of specific values (CW) for using the stop table 440 for each reel is also suppressed. As a result, the data capacity can be reduced.

  In addition, what was mentioned above uses the specific value (CW) for selecting the single stop table 440 as a structure here, However, without using such a specific value (CW), Even when three types of stop tables satisfying the above-mentioned prerequisite conditions are used, the same operations and effects as those described above can be achieved. That is, stop table A for stopping BR on the effective line 86, stop table B for stopping RP on the effective line 86, and stop table C for stopping other than BR on the effective line 86 Is provided at least as a stop table 440 for each rotary reel 62. Then, the reel control means 130 as the stop control means has a stop operation order of (n-1) th from the first stop operation in which the stop operation order is the first stop operation when the duplicate winning combination is won. The stop control is performed using the stop table B until the (n-1) th stop operation, which is the th stop operation, and the stop control is performed using the stop table A when the stop operation timing is appropriate. When the stop operation timing is inappropriate, stop control may be performed using the stop table C. Here, n is the total number of the rotating reels 62, and is specifically set to 4 in the present embodiment, but is not limited to this and is an integer of 2 or more. . In this way, even if the specific value (CW) is not used, the combination of the winning symbols as described above and the symbol arrangement on the rotary reel 62 are used as preconditions, so that each rotary reel 62 has three types of stop tables A. , B and C alone can stop the combination of symbols 61 in replay (RP), bar (BR), and spill (loss), and the data capacity can be reduced.

  In the present embodiment, the data capacity related to stop control can be compressed by performing stop control using a specific value (CW), various tables, and the like, but this is not the only case. In the present embodiment, when the final specific value (CW) is determined, a stop symbol corresponding to the specific value (CW) in a one-to-one relationship is specified. For this reason, conventionally, after all the rotating reels 62 are stopped, the winning determination is performed on the effective line 86 (for each effective line 86 if there are a plurality of effective lines 86). Thus, the conventional prize determination itself is no longer necessary. For this reason, in the present embodiment, in the conventional stop control, the array data in which the symbol numbers (frame numbers) as shown in FIG. It is not necessary. Since it is not necessary to store the array data itself as shown in FIG. 2 as it is (no longer necessary), the number of data to be stored is reduced, and a winning determination process as conventionally performed is also unnecessary. In addition to the reduction in storage capacity, the effect of shortening the processing time for stop control is also produced.
