In this embodiment, every time the 1-bet button B01 is pressed, the credited medals are set to the inserted state one by one, and the MAX bet button B0M is pressed when the specified number of inserted medals is set to 3. If there are 3 or more credited medals, 3 are set in the inserted state, and if there are 2 or less credited medals, all of the credited medals are inserted. Set to state.

  The insertion accepting means 105 validates the game start operation with respect to the start lever SL based on the fact that the prescribed number of medals are set in the insertion state, and based on the game start operation with respect to the start lever SL being performed. Then, the operation for the start lever SL, the operation for the bet button B01, and the operation for the MAX bet button B0M are invalidated.

  The random number generation means 110 is a means for generating random numbers for lottery. The random value can be generated based on, for example, a count value of an increment counter (a counter that counts numerical values so as to circulate a predetermined count range). In this embodiment, the “random number value” is not only a value that is randomly generated in a mathematical sense, but even if the generation itself is regular, the acquisition timing and the like are irregular. Includes a value that can function as a random number.

  The internal lottery means 120 determines whether or not a winning combination is made based on a start signal from a start switch 230 that is activated by a game start operation on the start lever SL (first press operation on the activated start lever SL). For performing lottery table selection processing, random number determination processing, lottery flag setting processing, and the like.

  In the lottery table selection process, it is determined which internal lottery table is used for the internal lottery table among the plurality of internal lottery tables stored in the internal lottery table storage unit 191 of the main memory 190M. In the gaming machine of this embodiment, the internal lottery table storage unit 191 stores three types of lottery tables A to C as shown in FIG. In each lottery table, each of a plurality of random values (for example, 65536 random values from 0 to 65535) is associated with various combinations such as replays, small roles, bonuses, and losing (unauthorized). It has been.

  In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, as the small roles, the correct small role 1 (specific small role), the correct answer small role 2 (specific small role), the correct answer small role 3 (specific small role), the correct answer small role 4 (specific small size) Role), correct answer role 5 (specific role), correct answer role 6 (specific role), correct answer role 7 (specific role), incorrect answer role A1, incorrect answer role A2, incorrect answer role A3 , Incorrect answer quiz A4, incorrect answer quiz B1, incorrect answer quiz B2, incorrect answer quiz B3, incorrect answer quiz B4, incorrect answer quiz C1, incorrect answer quiz C2, incorrect answer quiz C3, A correct small role C4, special small roles, and chance roles are prepared, and as a winning mode of a small role in which a plurality of types of small roles are won in duplicate, an eight-batted order small role (specific winning mode, first winning mode: 8 batting order small part LC1-8 sheet batting order small part LC4, 8 sheet batting order small part LR1-8 sheet batting order small part LR4, 8 sheet batting order small part CL1-8 sheet batting order small part CL4, 8 sheet batting order small part R1-8 batting order small role CR4, 8 sheet batting order small role RL1-8 sheet batting order small role RL4, 8 sheet batting order small role RC1-8 sheet batting order small role RC4) and 3 sheet batting order small role (specific winning mode: 3) Sheet-batting order small role L1-3 sheet-batting order small role L4, 3-sheet batting order small role C1-3 sheet-batting order small role C4, 3-sheet batting order small role R1-3 sheet-batting order small role R4) and JAC1 (second winning mode) And JAC2 are set.

  Specifically, referring to FIG. 4, the eight-batting-order small combination will be described with reference to FIG. 4. Any one of the combinations 1-5, any two types of the incorrect answer small roles A1-A4, any two types of the incorrect answer small roles B1-B4, and the incorrect answer small roles C1-C4 It shows that any two of them will win. In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, for each of the eight-batted order small roles, a total of seven types of small combinations, one type of correct answer small combination and six types of incorrect answer small combinations, are won, and the seven types of small combinations The combination of is different.

  Next, the three-sheet strike order small combination will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 5. The three-sheet strike order small combinations L1 to L4, C1 to C4, and R1 to R4 are any one of correct answer small combinations 6 to 7. And, it is shown that any four types of the incorrect answer small combinations A1 to A4, B1 to B4, and C1 to C4 are won. In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, a combination of five types of small combinations of one type of correct small combination and four types of incorrect partial small combinations is won in each of the three strike order small combinations. The combination of small roles is different.

  Next, JAC1 and JAC2 will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 6. JAC1 is the correct answer small roles 1-7, incorrect answer small roles A1-A4, B1-B4, C1-C4, special small roles, and chances. It shows that the winning combination is won. JAC2 indicates that the incorrect answer small combinations A1 to A4, B1 to B4, C1 to C4, and the chance combination are won. Thus, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, JAC1 includes correct small roles 1 to 7 and special small roles, and JAC2 does not include correct small roles 1 to 7 and special small roles. .

  In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, replay 1, replay 2, and replay 3 are prepared as replays, and a normal replay and a chance replay are set as winning modes of replay in which one type of replay is won independently. In addition, the hitting order replay A and the hitting order replay B are set as the winning mode of the replay in which multiple types of replays are won in duplicate.

  The replay winning mode will be specifically described with reference to FIG. 6. In normal replay, replay 2 is won alone, chance replay is replay 1 alone, batting order replay A is replay 2, Replay 3 is won in duplicate, and batting order replay B indicates that replay 1, replay 2, and replay 3 are won in duplicate.

  In the gaming machine of this embodiment, the internal lottery table A and the internal lottery table B have the same winning probability and winning mode for the small role, and the internal lottery table B can be replayed with higher probability than the internal lottery table A. In the internal lottery table C, the small role is won in a manner different from the internal lottery table A and the internal lottery table B, and any replay is excluded from the lottery target. In the internal lottery table A and the internal lottery table B, the correct answer small roles 1 to 7 are won by the eight-batting order small role and the three-sheet striking order small role without overlapping each other. In the internal lottery table C, JAC1 The correct small roles 1 to 7 are won in duplicate.

  In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, a big bonus (BB) is prepared as a bonus, and in the internal lottery table A, the big bonus (BB) is set as a lottery object, but the internal lottery table B and the internal lottery In Table C, the big bonus (BB) is excluded from the lottery targets.

  In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the normal state, the bonus establishment state, and the bonus state can be set as the gaming state, and in the lottery table selection process, the internal lottery table A to the internal lottery table C are selected according to the gaming state. Either one is selected as an internal lottery table to be used in the internal lottery.

  In the random number determination process, a random number value (lottery random number) is acquired from the random number generator 110 for each game based on the start signal from the start switch 230, and the internal lottery table storage unit 191 of the main memory 190M for the acquired random value. It is determined whether or not the winning combination is won with reference to the internal lottery table stored in the table.

  In the lottery flag setting process, the lottery flag corresponding to the winning combination determined to be won based on the result of the random number determination process is changed from the non-winning state (first flag state, off state) to the winning state (second flag state). , ON state). In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, when two or more types of winning combinations are won, a lottery flag corresponding to each of the two or more types of winning winning combinations is set to a winning state. The lottery flag setting information is stored in the lottery flag storage unit 192 of the main memory 190M.

  In addition, in the gaming machine of this embodiment, a lottery flag (carry-over possible flag) that can carry on the winning state for the next game until winning, and a non-winning state without carrying the winning state on the next game regardless of winning. A lottery flag (a carry-over impossible flag) that is reset to the winning state is prepared. The combination associated with the former carry-over possible flag is a big bonus (BB), and the small combination and replay are associated with the latter carry-over impossible flag. That is, in the lottery flag setting process, when the big bonus (BB) is won in the internal lottery, the winning state of the big bonus (BB) lottery flag is carried over until the big bonus (BB) wins. At this time, the internal lottery means 120 performs an internal lottery to determine whether or not the small role and replay are successful even in a game in which the winning state of the big bonus (BB) lottery flag is carried over. That is, in the lottery flag setting process, in the game where the winning state of the big bonus (BB) lottery flag is carried over, when a small role or replay is won, the lottery flag of the big bonus (BB) already won And a lottery flag corresponding to two or more types of winning combinations including a small role won in the internal lottery and a replay lottery flag.

  The reel control means 130 starts the rotational drive of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 by the stepping motor based on the start signal from the start switch 230 that is activated by the game start operation to the start lever SL. Stop by pressing the stop buttons B1 to B3 (stop operation means) corresponding to the reels in which the R1 to the third reel R3 are normally rotating at a predetermined speed (about 80 rpm: a rotation speed of about 80 rotations per minute) While performing control which validates operation, the control which stops the 1st reel R1-3rd reel R3 rotationally driven by the stepping motor in the aspect according to the setting state (result of an internal lottery) of a lottery flag is performed.

  Then, the reel control means 130 starts when the player depresses the start lever SL in a state where the game start operation with respect to the start lever SL is validated (a state where a predetermined number of medals are set in the inserted state). When the switch 230 is activated, the supply of drive pulses (motor drive signal) to the stepping motor of the reel unit 310 is started based on the start signal from the start switch 230, whereby the first reel R1 to the third reel R3. The rotation of each reel is started and accelerated until the rotational speed of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 reaches a predetermined speed. When the predetermined speed is reached, the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are moved at a predetermined speed. Rotate steady, perform processing to validate the stop operation for the stop buttons B1 to B3, stop When the stop switch 240 is activated by the player pressing the stop buttons B1 to B3 in a state where the stop operation for the buttons B1 to B3 is validated, the reel unit 310 is based on the reel stop signal from the stop switch 240. By stopping the supply of drive pulses (motor drive signals) to the stepping motor, control is performed to stop each of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3.

  That is, the reel controller 130 determines the stop position of the reel corresponding to the pressed button of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 each time the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed. The reel is stopped at the stop position. In the gaming machine of this embodiment, pressing the stop button B1 corresponds to an operation for stopping the first reel R1, and pressing the stop button B2 is an operation for stopping the second reel R2. Correspondingly, pressing the stop button B3 corresponds to an operation for stopping the third reel R3. That is, in the gaming machine of this embodiment, when the pressing order of the stop buttons B1 to B3 is changed, the stopping order of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 is changed.

  In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, for the first reel R1 to the third reel R3, the rotating reel corresponding to the pressed stop button stops within 190 ms from the time when the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed. It is like that. When the rotating reel is stopped within 190 ms from the time when the stop button is pressed, the stop position of each rotating reel is 0 frames from the time when the stop button is pressed until the reel stops. It is determined in the range of ~ 3 frames (predetermined pull-in range). The reel control means 130 displays the symbol corresponding to the winning combination in the internal lottery on the outer peripheral surface of the rotating reel corresponding to the stop button that has been pressed among the stop buttons B1 to B3. The symbol corresponding to the combination for which the lottery flag is set to the winning state is displayed on the effective line when it is located within the range of 0 frame to 3 frames with respect to the display position on the active line at the time when the pressing operation for Control is performed so as to stop the rotating reel corresponding to the stop button for which the pressing operation has been performed, so that the reel is displayed at the upper display position.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7, the BAR symbol “BAR”, the replay symbol “RP”, and the plum symbol “ “PM”, bell symbol “BL”, watermelon symbol “WM”, cherry symbol “CH”, dummy symbol 1 “DUM1”, and dummy symbol 2 “DUM2” are arranged and the stop switch 240 is activated (stop button). When a symbol existing within 3 frames from the pressed detection position, which is the position of the reel at the time when the pressing of is detected), is drawn on the effective line, it is arranged at intervals of 3 frames or less on the outer peripheral surface of each reel. The displayed symbol can be displayed on the active line regardless of the pressed detection position.

  Further, the reel control unit 130 rotates with reference to a stop control table stored in the stop control table storage unit 193 of the main memory 190M and a process of calculating a stop position of the rotating reel by logic calculation (logic calculation process). Processing for determining the stop position of the inner reel (table reference processing) is performed.

  First, in the logic calculation process, a range of 0 to 3 frames from the pressing detection position, which is the position of the reel at the time of operation of the stop switch 240 (when pressing of the stop button is detected) according to the priority order data determined for each combination. Priorities are obtained for the stop position candidates for four frames existing in the frame. Then, the stop position candidate with the highest priority among the priorities of the respective stop position candidates is determined as the actual stop position. However, in logic calculation processing, the same priority may be obtained for a plurality of stop position candidates depending on the result of the internal lottery, the pressed detection position, etc., and there are a plurality of stop position candidates with the highest priority. In such a case, the actual stop position is determined by a table reference process described later.

  In particular, in the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the priority order is determined in the order of “replay> small role> bonus”, and the lottery flags relating to two or more types of roles are set in the winning state in the logic operation processing. In accordance with the priority order associated with each winning combination, the stop position including the symbols constituting the winning combination form with the lower priority for the stopping position candidates including the symbols constituting the winning pattern with the winning combination with the higher priority order. The priority is determined so that the priority is higher than the candidate.

  In the gaming machine of this embodiment, the priority for the stop position candidate when multiple types of small roles are won in the internal lottery is determined according to the number of symbol combinations that can be displayed on the active line. There are cases where the priority is calculated according to the number of medals paid out based on a predetermined payout for the small role, and the stop position candidates are determined according to the number of symbol combinations that can be displayed on the active line. The priority for each stop position candidate is determined so that the higher the priority is the stop position where the number of symbol combinations indicating the winning pattern that can be displayed on the active line is higher, and the medal When the priority of the stop position candidates is determined according to the number of payouts, the number of medals paid out based on the small part payout corresponding to the symbol displayed at the display position on the active line increases. Position so as priority (stop position capable of winning a small prize payout is large) is high determine the priority for the candidate of each stop position. However, if the priority for the stop position candidate is determined according to the number of medals paid out, if a small role with the same payout is won in duplicate, the stop position where each small role can be won The priorities of the candidates are treated as the same.

  In the present embodiment, when any of the eight-batted order small winning combination and the three-sheet hitting-order small winning combination is won, a logic operation corresponding to the pressing order (stop operation order) of the stop buttons B1 to B3 is performed. Specifically, eight-batting order small roles LC1-LC4, LR1-LR4, CL1-CL4, CR1-CR4, RL1-RL4, RC1-RC4, and three-sheet-batting order small roles L1-L4, C1-C4, R1- A correct answer order is set for each of R4, and a pressing order different from the correct answer order is treated as an incorrect answer order. Then, when either of the eight-batting order small combination or the three-batting order small combination is won, when the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the correct batting order, a logic operation for obtaining a priority according to the number of medals paid out is performed. The priority is determined so that the priority of the candidate for the stop position where the number of medals to be paid out is the highest. In addition, if either of the eight-batting order or three-batting order small is won, and the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the incorrect answering order, the number of symbol combinations that can be displayed on the active line The priority is calculated so that the priority of the stop position candidate having the largest number of symbol combinations that can be displayed on the active line is the highest.

  In the present embodiment, when either of the eight-batted-order small prizes or the three-sheet-batted-order small prize is won, and the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the correct answer-ordering order, The priority of the stop position candidate that can win the correct answer 1, correct answer 2, correct answer 3, correct answer 4, correct answer 5, correct answer 6, or correct answer 7 When the logic operation is performed so that the degree becomes the highest, and stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the incorrect answering order, the stop that can win the incorrect answer small combination A1 to A4, B1 to B4, C1 to C4 The logic operation is performed so that the position candidate has the highest priority.

  In the logic calculation process, so-called pull-in process and kick-out process are performed as processes for obtaining candidate reel stop positions. The pull-in process is a process of obtaining reel stop position candidates so that a winning combination whose lottery flag is set to the winning state can be won as much as possible. On the other hand, the kicking process is a process of obtaining reel stop position candidates so that a combination whose lottery flag is set to a non-winning state cannot be won. In this way, the reel control means 130 can stop the symbol of the winning combination with the lottery flag set in the winning state while winning the symbol of the winning combination with the lottery flag set in the non-winning state. Logic calculation processing is performed to obtain a candidate stop position of the reel so as not to stop.

  In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the reel unit 310 includes a reel index 315 made of a photosensor, and the reel control means 130 is based on a reference position signal detected by the reel index 315 every time the reel makes one revolution. Thus, the current rotation state of the reel can be monitored by obtaining the rotation angle (the number of rotation steps of the rotation axis of the stepping motor) from the reel reference position (the frame detected by the reel index 315). It has become. That is, the reel control unit 130 can obtain the position of the reel when the stop switch 240 is operated by obtaining the rotation angle from the reference position of the reel.

  In the table reference process, when a plurality of stop position candidates having the highest priority are obtained as a result of the logic operation process, which position is set as the stop position is determined as a stop control table storage unit in the main memory 190M. This is determined with reference to the stop control table stored in 193.

  Here, in the stop control table, in accordance with the setting state of the lottery flag, the correspondence between the pressed detection position, which is the position of the reel at the time when the stop switch 240 is activated (when the stop button is pressed), and the actual stop position. Relationship is set. In the stop control table, a correspondence relationship between the press detection position and the number of sliding symbols indicating the amount of rotation from the press detection position to the actual stop position may be set according to the setting state of the lottery flag.

  In the stop control table that is referred to when any one of the eight-batted order small portions LC1 to LC4, LR1 to LR4, CL1 to CL4, CR1 to CR4, RL1 to RL4, and RC1 to RC4 is won in the internal lottery, FIG. As shown in FIG. 9 and FIG. 9, the correct answer hit order is set for each of the eight strike order small roles, and a pressing order different from the correct answer hit order is treated as an incorrect answer hit order. In this embodiment, when any of the eight-batted order small roles LC1, LC2, LR1, and LR2 is won, when the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the correct answer order, the correct answer small role 1 is won. When the stop position with respect to the pressing detection position is set, and any one of the eight-sheet-batting order small roles LC3, LC4, LR3, LR4, RL3, RL4, RC3, and RC4 is won, the stop buttons B1 to B3 are displayed in the correct hit order. When pressed, the stop position relative to the pressed detection position is set so that the correct answer winning combination 4 wins, and when any of the 8 strike order winning combinations CL1, CL2, CR1, CR2 is won, When the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed, the stop position with respect to the pressed detection position is set so that the correct answer small combination 2 wins, and the eight-stroke order small combination CL3, CL4, CR3 If any of R4 wins and the stop button B1 to B3 is pressed in the correct hit order, the stop position for the press detection position is set so that the correct answer small part 5 wins, and the eight-sheet hit order small part When any of RL1, RL2, RC1, and RC2 is won, the stop position for the press detection position is set so that the correct answer combination 3 wins when the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the correct answer order. .

  In addition, when any of the eight-batting order small roles is elected, if the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in an incorrect answering order, the two types that are selected are the winning order 1 and the batting order 2 in which the stop button B1 is pressed first. The stop position with respect to the pressed detection position is set so that there is a case where any one of the special small roles A wins a prize and a case where none of the special small roles A is won (missing), In the batting order 3 or batting order 4 in which the stop button B2 is first pressed, either one of the two types of special small roles B won or a case where neither of them wins ( The stop position with respect to the pressed detection position is set so that there is a missed), and in the batting order 5 or batting order 6 in which the stop button B3 is first depressed, any one of the two types of selected special small roles C is selected. And if the special Small Win C classes are winning, the stop position for any winning combination may not won (missed) pressed and so is present detection position is set.

  Further, in the stop control table that is referred to when any of the three-batting order small roles L1-L4, C1-C4, R1-R4 is won in the internal lottery, as shown in FIG. The correct answer hit order is set, and the pressing order different from the correct answer hit order is treated as an incorrect answer hit order. In the present embodiment, when any of the three-sheet striking order small combinations L1, L2, C1, C2, R1, R2 is won and the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the correct striking order, When the stop position with respect to the pressed detection position is set so as to win a prize, and any of the three-batt order small roles L3, L4, C3, C4, R3, R4 is won, the stop buttons B1 to B3 are displayed in the correct hit order. When pressed, the stop position with respect to the pressed detection position is set so that the correct answer small part 7 wins.

  In addition, when any of the three-batting order small roles is won, if the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the incorrect hitting order, the two types of winning wins in the hitting order 1 and the hitting order 2 in which the stop button B1 is pressed first. The stop position with respect to the pressed detection position is set so that there is a case where any one type of incorrect answering role A wins and a case where none of the special winning roles A is won (missing). In the batting order 3 or batting order 4 in which the stop button B2 is first pressed, either one of the two types of special small roles B won or one of the incorrect answering small portions B wins, and neither of them wins. The stop position with respect to the pressing detection position is set so that there is a case (missing), and in the hitting order 5 and hitting order 6 in which the stop button B3 is first pressed, any of the two types of special small roles C won One and if incorrect Small Win C is winning, the stop position with respect to the depression detection position so if any of the winning combination may not win the (missed) exists is set.

  As described above, in this embodiment, when either one of the eight-batted-orders or three-batted-orders is won (when a specific winning mode is obtained by an internal lottery), the stop is performed in the correct order of hitting (specific operation mode). When the buttons B1 to B3 are pressed, the spinning reel is stopped so that the correct answer winning combination wins, and when the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in an incorrect answer order (an operation mode different from the specific operation mode). Then, the spinning reel is stopped so that the correct small part does not win.

  Further, in the stop control table that is referred to when a special small combination is won in the internal lottery, the stop position relative to the press detection position is such that the special small combination wins regardless of the pressing order and the pressing timing of the stop buttons B1 to B3. In the stop control table that is set and is referenced when a chance combination is won in the internal lottery, the stop position relative to the press detection position so that there are cases where the chance combination wins and cases where none of the combination wins Is set.

  In addition, in the stop control table that is referred to when JAC1 is won in the internal lottery, one of the correct small combinations 1 to 5 is won regardless of the order and timing of pressing the stop buttons B1 to B3. In the stop control table that is referred to when the JAC2 is won in the internal lottery, the stop position relative to the press detection position is set to be incorrect regardless of the press order and the press timing of the stop buttons B1 to B3. The stop position with respect to the pressed detection position is set so that any one of the combinations A1 to A4, B1 to B4, C1 to C4, special combination, and chance combination wins.

  Further, in the stop control table that is referred to when the normal replay is won in the internal lottery, as shown in FIG. 11A, the replay 2 wins regardless of the pressing order and pressing timing of the stop buttons B1 to B3. In the stop control table that is referred to when the chance replay is won in the internal lottery, the replay 1 wins regardless of the pressing order and the pressing timing of the stop buttons B1 to B3. Thus, the stop position with respect to the pressing detection position is set.

  Further, in the stop control table that is referred to when the batting order replay A or the batting order replay B is won in the internal lottery, a specific batting order is set for each batting order replay as shown in FIG. A pressing order different from the hit order is treated as a non-specific hit order. In this embodiment, when the batting order replay A or the batting order replay B is won, when the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in a specific batting order, the stop position with respect to the pressing detection position is set so that the replay 3 wins. In addition, when the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in a non-specific stroke order, the stop position with respect to the pressed detection position is set so that the replay 2 wins. In the present embodiment, when the replay 3 wins, as shown in FIG. 11B, the BAR symbols “BAR” are arranged on the invalid lines formed in the middle stages of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3. BAR aligned stop mode displayed, and as shown in FIG. 11C, “BL / BAR / BAR” is displayed on the invalid line formed in the middle of each of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3. If the stop button B1 to B3 is pressed in a specific batting order when the batting order replay A is won, the winning of the replay 3 in the BAR losing stop mode is given priority. If the stop position is set and the hit order replay B is won, and the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the specific hit order, the winning of the replay 3 in the stop mode with BAR is given priority. Stop position so that is set. As described above, in this embodiment, when the hitting order replay A is won, when the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the specific hitting order, the spinning reels are stopped so that the replay 3 wins, and the non-specific hitting order is set. When the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed, the spinning reel is stopped so that the replay 2 wins, and when the replay 3 wins in the specific batting order, the BAR loss stop mode can be displayed. Stop the reel. In addition, when batting order replay B is won, if stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in a specific batting order, the spinning reel is stopped so that replay 3 wins, and stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in an unspecified batting order. Then, the rotating reel is stopped so that the replay 2 wins, and when the replay 3 wins in the specific batting order, the rotating reel is stopped so that the BAR aligned stop mode can be displayed.

  In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, the reel control means 130 executes a weight process for adjusting the game interval under a predetermined condition. Specifically, the reel control means 130 measures the start interval of the rotational drive of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3, and when a game start operation is performed on the start lever SL, the previous game Rotation of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 when a wait period (for example, 4.1 seconds) has not elapsed (predetermined conditions) from the start of the rotational driving of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 in FIG. A wait process for temporarily suspending the start of driving until the wait period elapses is executed. That is, in the gaming machine of this embodiment, when the reel control means 130 performs a game start operation on the start lever SL, the wait period from the start of the rotational driving of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 in the previous game. Based on the fact that the time has passed, control is performed to start rotational driving of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3. In the wait process, the operation interval of the game start operation with respect to the start lever SL is measured, and when the operation interval has not reached the wait period (for example, 4.1 seconds), the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 You may make it hold | maintain the start of rotational drive until a wait period passes.

  Further, in the gaming machine of this embodiment, the reel control means 130, in the AT state, has won either the eight-batted order small role or the three-batted order small role in the internal lottery, or the chance combination or chance replay in the internal lottery. The reel production lottery is performed with the opportunity of winning. In the reel effect lottery, any of 32768 random values from 0 to 32767 is acquired, and the acquired random value is compared with the reel effect lottery table stored in the AT lottery table storage unit 196 of the main memory 190M. Whether or not the reel effect lottery is won is determined according to the comparison result. In the reel effect lottery table, for example, each of the 32768 random values from 0 to 32767 is associated with either winning or losing, and the random value acquired in the reel effect lottery is the reel effect lottery table. If the reel is associated with winning, it is determined that the reel effect lottery has been won.

  Then, the reel control means 130 executes the reel effect that operates the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 in a specific manner when the reel effect lottery is won, and when the reel effect ends, Rotation driving of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 is started, and is regularly rotated at a predetermined speed, so that a stop operation for the stop buttons B1 to B3 is validated. In the reel effect, the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are rotated by a predetermined angle (for example, 45 degrees) in the direction opposite to the normal rotation direction, stopped at the position, and stopped at the position rotated by the predetermined angle. When the stopped state of each reel being maintained is maintained for a predetermined stop time (for example, 3 seconds) and the stopped state of each reel is maintained for a predetermined stop time, the reel effect ends. In the present embodiment, the reel effect is executed without waiting for the wait period to elapse even when the wait period has not elapsed. In this embodiment, the execution period of the reel effect is set to be longer than the wait period, and when the reel effect is executed, the stop is performed after the game start operation is performed on the start lever SL. The period until the stop operation for the buttons B1 to B3 is validated becomes longer and the progress of the game is delayed.

  The winning determination means 140 performs a winning determination process for determining whether or not a winning combination has been won based on the stop mode of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3. Specifically, while referring to the winning determination table stored in the winning determination table storage means 194 of the main memory 190M, it is displayed on the active line when all of the first reel R1 to the third reel R3 are stopped. It is determined whether or not the symbol combination is in the form of a predetermined winning combination. Then, depending on the symbol combination displayed on the active line in a state where each reel is stopped, as shown in FIGS. 12 to 17, a big bonus (BB), replays 1 to 3, correct answers 1 to 7, incorrect answers A winning determination table is prepared so that it is possible to determine whether or not the small combinations A1 to A4, B1 to B4, C1 to C4, special small combinations, and chance combinations have been won.

  In the gaming machine of this embodiment, the winning determination process is executed based on the determination result of the winning determination means 140. As a winning determination process, for example, when a small role is won, a payout control unit 150 performs a medal payout control process, and when a replay wins, a replay process unit 160 performs a replay process, and a bonus. When a prize is won, a gaming state transition control process for transitioning the gaming state by the gaming state transition control means 170 is performed.

  The payout control means 150 performs payout control processing relating to the payout of medals according to the game result. Specifically, when a small role wins, the number of payouts, which is the number of medals to be paid out, is determined based on a predetermined payout for each role, and medals corresponding to the determined number of payouts are The unit 320 (dispensing device) is controlled to pay out. In the present embodiment, when the big bonus (BB) or replay is won, or when no combination is won, the number of payouts is determined to be “0”.

  The hopper unit 320 performs an operation of paying out medals of the number of payouts instructed by the payout control means 150. Specifically, when a payout signal output from the payout control means 150 is input, the hopper unit 320 performs an operation of paying out medals. The hopper unit 320 is provided with a payout medal detection switch 325 that operates every time a medal is paid out. The payout control means 150 is based on a payout detection signal that is an input signal from the payout medal detection switch 325. The number of medals actually paid out from the hopper unit 320 can be managed.

  The payout control means 150 determines the number of payouts when the small role is won, and starts to output a payout signal to the hopper unit 320 to cause the hopper unit 320 to pay out medals, thereby paying out medals. In accordance with the payout detection signal from the detection switch 325, the number of medals paid out with respect to the payout number (the number of medals paid out in one game) stored in the payout number storage means (not shown) of the main memory 190M. A payout number addition process for adding numbers is performed. When the payout number (the number of medals actually paid out) reaches the number of payouts, the output of the payout signal is stopped and the medal payout operation of the hopper unit 320 is ended.

  In the case where medal credits (internal storage) are permitted because the number of credits stored in the credit storage means 195 is less than the upper limit number of credits, instead of actually paying out medals by the hopper unit 320. Then, with the upper limit of the number of credits as the limit, a credit addition process for adding the number of payouts to the number of credits stored in the credit storage means 195 is performed to virtually pay out medals. Here, when only a part of the payout number is credited, the remaining medals not credited are actually paid out from the hopper unit 320.

  When the replay is won, the replay processing means 160 performs a replay process (regame process) for setting the same preparation state as the previous game without requiring insertion of medals owned by the player for the next game. That is, in the gaming machine of this embodiment, when a replay is won, an automatic insertion is performed in which the same number of medals as the previous game are automatically inserted without using the player's own medals (including credit medals). Processing is performed, and the next game start operation for the start lever SL is waited in a state where the same effective line as the previous game is set.

  As shown in FIG. 18A, the gaming state transition control means 170 shifts the gaming state between the normal state, the bonus establishment state, and the bonus state, and the bonus establishment as shown in FIG. 18B. In the state, a gaming state transition control process is performed for shifting the gaming state between the non-assist time state (non-AT state) and the assist time state (AT state). As the game condition transition condition, one condition may be defined, or a plurality of conditions may be defined. In the case where a plurality of conditions are determined, the gaming state is determined based on the fact that one of the plurality of predetermined conditions is satisfied or all of the plurality of predetermined conditions are satisfied. It is possible to shift to another gaming state.

  The normal state is a game state corresponding to the initial state among the normal state, the bonus establishment state, and the bonus state, and the transition from the normal state to the bonus establishment state is possible. Specifically, when the big bonus (BB) is won in the normal state, the state shifts to the bonus establishment state. Further, in the normal state, an internal lottery is performed with reference to the internal lottery table A in which the big bonus (BB) is set as the lottery object among the internal lottery table A to the internal lottery table C shown in FIG.

  The bonus establishment state is a gaming state that shifts when the big bonus (BB) is won in the internal lottery. In the bonus establishment state, the internal lottery with reference to the internal lottery table B in which the big bonus (BB) is excluded from the lottery object among the internal lottery table A to the internal lottery table C shown in FIG. 3 is performed. In the internal lottery table B that is referred to in the bonus establishment state, as shown in FIG. 3, a small role or a replay is always won without causing an improper (losing) in the internal lottery.

  In the bonus establishment state, the lottery flag corresponding to the big bonus (BB) is maintained in the winning state until the big bonus (BB) is won, and the symbol combination indicating the big bonus (BB) winning pattern is displayed on the active line. Then, the gaming state transition control means 170 shifts the gaming state from the bonus establishment state to the bonus state.

  The bonus state is a gaming state that shifts when the symbol combination indicating the big bonus (BB) winning pattern is displayed on the active line. In the bonus state, an internal lottery with reference to the internal lottery table C among the internal lottery tables A to C shown in FIG.

  Further, in the bonus state, it is determined whether or not the end condition is satisfied based on the total number of medals paid out in the bonus state, and when a predetermined number of medals (for example, 100) are paid out, The state transition control means 170 performs control to end the bonus state and return the gaming state to the normal state. In the present embodiment, the end condition of the bonus state is determined by the total number of medals paid out, but the end condition may be determined by the number of games in the bonus state and the number of winnings of the small role. Further, the bonus state may be one in which an end condition is set so as to end in one game.

  In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, in the state where the bonus is established, when both the big bonus (BB) and the small role are won, the winning of the small role is given priority over the symbols constituting the big bonus (BB) winning pattern. The symbols constituting the form are displayed on the active line, and when the big bonus (BB) and the replay are both won, the spinning reel is stopped so that the replay wins in preference to the big bonus (BB). Thus, the big bonus (BB) winning is avoided regardless of the pressing order and the pressing timing of the stop buttons B1 to B3.

  In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, in the normal state and the bonus establishment state, a plurality of types of first winning modes (eight-batting order) in which a plurality of types of correct answering roles (correct answering roles 1 to 5) are won without overlapping each other. Internal lottery is performed so that small roles LC1 to LC4, LR1 to LR4, CL1 to CL4, CR1 to CR4, RL1 to RL4, RC1 to RC4) exist, and in the bonus state, multiple types of correct answer small roles (correct answer small roles) 1) to 5) are duplicated and there is a second winning mode (JAC1), and the probability of becoming the second winning mode in the internal lottery in the bonus state is the number of types in the internal lottery in the normal state and the bonus established state. It is lower than the probability of being one of the winning modes, and the winning probabilities of each of the multiple types of correct answer small roles (correct answer small roles 1 to 5) are higher than those in the normal state and the bonus establishment state. It is doing a part lottery. In other words, in the bonus state of the present embodiment, the winning probabilities of each of the correct small roles 1 to 5 having a higher payout than the specified number of insertions (3) are higher than the normal state or the bonus establishment state, and the winning probability of the entire small role Is higher than the normal state and the bonus establishment state, but the probability that the second winning mode (JAC1) including any of the correct answer small combinations 1 to 5 having a higher dividend than the prescribed number of inputs will be obtained is the normal state or the bonus establishment In the state, the first winning mode including any one of the correct small combinations 1 to 5 (eight-batted order small combinations LC1 to LC4, LR1 to LR4, CL1 to CL4, CR1 to CR4, RL1 to RL4, RC1 to RC4) is obtained. Since it is lower than the probability, the expected value of the medal acquisition rate (number of payouts / number of inputs) in the bonus state can be made less than 100%.

  The non-AT state is a gaming state corresponding to the initial state among the non-AT state and the AT state, and a transition from the non-AT state to the AT state is possible. Specifically, when the AT lottery is won in the bonus establishment state, the state shifts to the AT state.

  The AT state is a gaming state that shifts when an AT lottery is won. In the AT state, it is determined whether or not the end condition is satisfied based on the stored value of the AT end determination counter 197 in the main memory 190M. The gaming state transition control means 170 performs control to end the AT state and return to the non-AT state.

  The AT control means 180 performs control related to the AT state. In a game in the AT state (assist time game), the player is instructed about the game method (for example, the order of pressing the stop buttons B1 to B3), and the player simply plays the game according to the instruction. A predetermined profit can be easily obtained.

  Specifically, the AT control means 180 performs the AT lottery when the chance combination, chance replay, or batting order replay B is won in the internal lottery in the non-AT state. In the AT lottery, any of 32768 random values from 0 to 32767 is acquired, and the acquired random number value is compared with the AT lottery table stored in the AT lottery table storage unit 196 of the main memory 190M. It is determined whether or not the AT lottery is won according to the comparison result. In the AT lottery table, for example, each of 32768 random values from 0 to 32767 is associated with either winning or losing, and the random value acquired in the AT lottery is selected in the AT lottery table. If it is associated, it is determined that the AT lottery is won. In this embodiment, the winning probability of the AT lottery differs depending on the winning combination in the internal lottery that triggered the AT lottery, and the winning probability increases in the order of “chance replay <chance role <batting order replay B”. As such, when the batting order replay B is won, an AT lottery is performed so that it is always won. When the AT lottery is won, the gaming state shifts from the non-AT state to the AT state.

  Then, the AT control unit 180 performs a process of setting a given value to the stored value of the AT end determination counter 197 based on the winning of the AT lottery. In this embodiment, the value set in the AT end determination counter 197 is set to “50” as a value corresponding to 50 games, for example. The value set in the AT end determination counter 197 is not limited to the above example and can be set arbitrarily.

  Then, the AT control means 180 starts updating the AT end determination counter 197 from the next game of the game won in the AT lottery. Specifically, every time a game in the AT state is performed, a decrement update is performed by subtracting a value (for example, 1) corresponding to the number of games for one game from the stored value of the AT end determination counter 197. When the stored value of the AT end determination counter 197 reaches a threshold value (for example, 0), the AT state end condition is satisfied, the AT state ends, and the gaming state returns from the AT state to the non-AT state.

  Further, in this embodiment, when the big bonus (BB) is won in the AT state, the decrement update regarding the stored value of the AT end determination counter 197 is interrupted while maintaining the AT state, and the gaming state is finished after the bonus state ends. In response to the transition to the bonus establishment state, the decrement update of the AT end determination counter 197 is resumed, and an undigested game is performed. When the big bonus (BB) is won in the AT state, the decrement update of the AT end determination counter 197 may be continued regardless of the change in the gaming state from the bonus establishment state to the bonus state, or the AT state. When the big bonus (BB) is won in step 1, the stored value of the AT end determination counter 197 is reset to the initial value (for example, 0) even if the stored value of the AT end determination counter 197 does not reach the threshold value. The AT state may be terminated.

  In addition, the AT control means 180 is added in the AT state when either of the eight-batted-order small winning combination or the three-batted-order small winning combination is won in the internal lottery, or the chance winning combination or chance replay is won in the internal lottery. Make a lottery. In the extra lottery, any one of 32768 random values from 0 to 32767 is acquired, and the obtained random number value is compared with the extra lottery table stored in the AT lottery table storage unit 196, according to the comparison result. And determine whether or not the lottery is won. In the extra lottery table, for example, each of the 32768 random values from 0 to 32767 is associated with either normal winning, special winning, or losing, and the random number obtained in the extra lottery is extra lottery. When the table is associated with the normal winning or the special winning, it is determined that the extra lottery is won. In the present embodiment, the winning probability of the extra lottery varies depending on the winning combination in the internal lottery that triggered the extra lottery, and “eight-batting order small role (three-batting order small role) <chance replay <chance role The lottery is performed so that the winning probability increases in the order of “.

  Then, the AT control means 180 performs an addition process of adding a given value to the stored value of the AT end determination counter 197 based on the winning of the addition lottery. In this embodiment, the value to be added differs according to the winning combination in the internal lottery that triggered the execution of the extra lottery and the winning type of the extra lottery. If the result of the extra lottery is a normal win when it is one of the batting order small roles, for example, “10” is added as a value corresponding to 10 games, and the result of the extra lottery is special. In the case of winning, for example, when “20” is added as a value corresponding to 20 games, and the chance to play the extra lottery is a chance replay, the result of the extra lottery was normally won In this case, for example, “20” is added as a value corresponding to 20 games, and if the result of the extra lottery is a special win, for example, “30” as a value corresponding to 30 games. But If the opportunity to perform the extra lottery is a chance role and the result of the extra lottery is a normal win, for example, “30” is added as a value corresponding to 30 games, and the extra lottery is added. When the result of the lottery is a special win, for example, “50” is added as a value corresponding to 50 games. The value added to the AT end determination counter 197 can be arbitrarily set without being limited to the above example.

  The display control means 183 controls display of the game information display unit DS (such as the credit display unit CD, the payout display unit PO, and the bonus display unit BS) as the first display device 410. In this embodiment, the credit display unit CD (credit display device) and the payout display unit PO (payout display device) are a segment driver which is a circuit for driving a segment of a 7-segment display, and a 2-digit number from 0 to 99. A 7-segment display for displaying high-order digits and a 7-segment display for displaying low-order digits, and the bonus display section BS is a segment driver that is a circuit for driving segments of the 7-segment display. , A 7-segment display for displaying upper digits for displaying 3-digit numbers from 0 to 999, a 7-segment display for displaying middle digits, and a 7-segment display for displaying lower digits . In the credit display unit CD, the payout display unit PO, and the bonus display unit BS, the segment driver outputs a segment drive signal for driving each segment of the 7-segment display in response to the display control signal from the display control means 183. Thus, the display value of the 7-segment display is changed.

  The display control means 183 pays out a payout number that is the number of medals paid out in accordance with the winning of the small role (paid out in one game) when the medal is paid out in accordance with the winning of the small role. Control to be displayed on the section PO is performed. Specifically, the display control unit 183 outputs a display control signal corresponding to the number of medals to be paid out to the payout display unit PO when the medals are paid out in accordance with the winning of the small role. A payout number display process for displaying the number on the payout display section PO is performed. When the medal payout number is displayed on the payout display portion PO, the display control means 183 configures the payout display portion PO when the medal is set in the inserted state for the next game. A non-display process is performed to turn off all the segments of the 7-segment display so that nothing is displayed. Thereby, the display of the number of medals paid out is completed.

  Further, the display control unit 183 performs control for displaying the credit number of medals on the credit display unit CD based on the credit number stored in the credit storage unit 195. Specifically, when the credit addition process is performed in accordance with the insertion of a medal into the medal insertion slot MI, the display control unit 183 performs the credit addition process in accordance with the winning of a small role. Display control signal corresponding to the number of credits stored in the credit storage means 195 is displayed as a credit when a credit subtraction process is performed in response to pressing of the 1 bet button B01 or the MAX bet button B0M. A credit number display process is performed for outputting to the part CD and displaying the credit number of the current medal on the credit display part CD. The display control means 183 always displays the number of medal credits on the credit display section CD regardless of whether or not the game is being played.

  The display control means 183 performs control to display the total number of medals paid out in the bonus state on the bonus display section BS. Specifically, in the bonus state, the number of medals to be paid out is counted and the display control means 183 displays the bonus in the counting state when the medals are paid out in accordance with the small role winning in the bonus state. A display control signal corresponding to the total number of paid-out medals is output to the bonus display section BS, and a bonus paid-out number display process for displaying the current total number of paid-out medals in the bonus state on the bonus display section BS is performed. . When the total number of medals paid out in the bonus state is displayed on the bonus display unit BS, the display control means 183 displays the 7-segment display constituting the bonus display unit BS when the bonus state is completed. A non-display process is performed to turn off all segments of the container so that nothing is displayed. This completes the display of the total number of medals paid out in the bonus state.

  In addition, the display control means 183 provides a game method when any of the eight-batted-order small winning combination and the three-batted-order small winning combination is won in the AT state (specific conditions) (when a specific winning aspect is obtained by internal lottery). The instruction information, which is information indicating the instruction content (specifically, the pressing order to be operated) is displayed on the payout display unit PO. Thus, the game method is instructed to the player in the AT state.

  Specifically, the display control means 183 displays, as the instruction information, the eight-batting-order small role or the three-batting-order small role as instruction information when either of the eight-batting-order small role is won in the AT state. Control is performed to display correct answer hit order information (game information indicating (related) indicating a specific operation mode, identification information indicating (related) identification operation mode) on the payout display section PO, which is information indicating the correct hit order corresponding to the type. In the present embodiment, nine types of numbers such as “1”, “2”, “3”, “4”, “5”, “6”, “7”, “8”, and “9” are indicated as the instruction information. (Correct answer order information) is set in advance, and the instruction content indicated by each number is as shown in FIG. For example, for “1”, pressing the stop buttons B1 to B3 in the batting order 1 as the instruction content (the pressing order to be operated is the batting order 1) is preset, and for “7” As the instruction contents, the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed in the order in which the stop button B1 is first pressed (batting order 1, 2: the stop button B1 is pressed first) (the pressing order to be operated is the stop button B1). This is the order of pressing first).

  Then, the display control means 183 changes the type of the eight-batted-order small role or the three-sheet-batted-order small role (correct answer-ordered type) when either of the eight-batted-order small roles is won in the AT state. An instruction information display that outputs a corresponding display control signal to the payout display unit PO to display correct batting order information (instruction information) according to the type of the eight-sheet-batting order small combination or the three-sheet-batting-order small-combination on the dispensing display section PO Process.

  Specifically, in the AT state, the display control means 183, when any of the eight-sheet-batting order small combinations LC1 to LC4 in which the batting order 1 is set as the correct batting order as shown in FIG. As shown in (A), instruction information display processing for displaying “1” as instruction information on the payout display unit PO is performed. Similarly, in the AT state, the display control means 183 pays out “2” as instruction information when any of the eight-batting order small roles LR1 to LR4 for which the batting order 2 is set as the correct batting order is won in the AT state. When the instruction information display process to be displayed on the PO is performed and one of the eight-batting order small roles CL1 to CL4 in which the batting order 3 is set as the correct batting order is won, “3” is indicated as the instruction information. The instruction information display process to be displayed is performed, and when any of the eight-batting order small roles CR1 to CR4 for which the batting order 4 is set as the correct batting order is won, “4” is given to the payout display section PO as the instruction information. When the instruction information display process to be displayed is performed and one of the eight-batting order small roles RL1 to RL4 for which the batting order 5 is set as the correct batting order is won, “5” is indicated as the instruction information in the payout display section PO. The instruction information display process to be displayed is performed, and when any of the eight-batting order small roles RC1 to RC4 for which the batting order 6 is set as the correct batting order is won, “6” is displayed on the payout display section PO as the instruction information The instruction information display process is performed, and if any of the three-batt order small roles L1 to L4 for which the stop button B1 is first pressed as the correct answer order (batting order 1, 2) is selected, the instruction is displayed. Instruction information display processing for displaying “7” as information on the payout display portion PO is performed, and the order in which the stop button B2 is first pressed (strike order 3, 4) is set as the correct striking order. When one of C4 is won, an instruction information display process for displaying “8” on the payout display unit PO as instruction information is performed, and the stop button B3 is first pressed in the correct answer order ( If any of the three batting order Small Win R1~R4 a forward 5,6) is set is elected, an instruction information display process to display "9" to the payout display unit PO as instruction information.

  In the non-AT state, the display control means 183 does not perform the instruction information display process (the instruction information is not displayed) regardless of which of the eight-batted order small winning combination and the three-sheet-batted order small winning combination.

  The communication control unit 185 performs control to output a signal to the sub-board 20. In the gaming machine of this embodiment, only unidirectional communication from the main board 10 to the sub board 20 is possible between the main board 10 and the sub board 20, and from the sub board 20 to the main board 10. Communication connection is established so that signals cannot be transmitted.

  The communication control means 185 outputs an eight-batting order small combination winning notification signal to the sub-board 20 when any of the eight-batted-order small winning combinations is won in the internal lottery, so When the final strike operation is performed in the game, the result of the internal lottery for the sub-board 20 is notified. By outputting a notification signal, the sub-board 20 is notified of the result of the internal lottery. The communication control means 185 outputs a three-sheet-batting order winning combination winning notification signal to the sub-board 20 when any of the three-batting-order winning roles is won in the internal lottery. When one of the three-batting-order small roles has been won and the correct striking order according to the type of three-batted-order small role is notified, and when the final stop operation is performed in the game, an internal lottery is performed for the sub-board By outputting a result notification signal, the sub-board 20 is notified of the result of the internal lottery.

  Further, the communication control means 185 receives the special small role, chance role, JAC1, JAC2, normal replay, chance replay, batting order replay A, batting order replay B, or big bonus (BB) in the internal lottery, or the result of the internal lottery. Is lost (unauthorized), an internal lottery result notification signal is output to the sub-board 20 to notify the sub-board 20 of the result of the internal lottery.

  In addition, when the winning determination unit 140 determines the winning combination, the communication control unit 185 outputs a winning combination notification signal to the sub-board 20 to notify the sub-board 20 of the type of winning combination. In addition, the communication control means 185 presses the 1 bet button B01 or the MAX bet button B0M to insert a medal, performs a game start operation on the start lever SL, or performs a stop operation on the stop buttons B1 to B3. Then, by outputting an operation notification signal to the sub-board 20, the 1-bet button B01 or the MAX bet button B0M has been pressed on the sub-board 20, the start lever SL has been pressed, or has been pressed. Notifies the player's operation such as the type of stop button. Further, the communication control means 185 notifies the sub-board 20 of the current gaming state by outputting a gaming state notification signal to the sub-board 20. Further, when the AT control means 180 performs the AT lottery, the communication control means 185 outputs an AT lottery result notification signal to the sub-board 20, thereby notifying the sub-board 20 of the AT lottery result, and the AT control means. When 180 performs the extra lottery, the extra lottery result notification signal is output to the sub-board 20 to notify the sub-board 20 of the extra lottery result. In addition, when the AT control unit 180 updates the decrement of the AT end determination counter 197 in the AT state, the communication control unit 185 outputs a counter notification signal to the sub substrate 20 to thereby output the current AT end to the sub substrate 20. The stored value of the judgment counter 197 is notified. Further, when the reel control unit 130 starts the rotation driving of each reel, the communication control unit 185 outputs a rotation start notification signal to the sub-board 20 to start the rotation driving of each reel on the sub-board 20. Notify that. Further, when the reel control unit 130 starts the wait process, the communication control unit 185 outputs a wait start notification signal to the sub-board 20, thereby notifying the sub-board 20 that the wait process has started, and the reel When the control unit 130 finishes the wait process, it outputs a wait end notification signal to the sub-board 20 to notify the sub-board 20 that the wait process has been completed. Further, when the reel control means 130 performs the reel effect lottery, the communication control means 185 outputs a reel effect lottery result notification signal to the sub-board 20 to notify the reel effect lottery result to the sub-board 20. When the reel control unit 130 starts the reel effect, the reel control unit 130 outputs a reel effect start notification signal to the sub-board 20 to notify the sub-board 20 that the reel effect has started, and the reel control unit 130 When the reel effect is completed, a reel effect end notification signal is output to the sub-board 20 to notify the sub-board 20 that the reel effect has ended. As described above, in the gaming machine according to the present embodiment, the eight-batting order small combination winning notification signal, the three-sheet-batting small combination winning notification signal, the correct batting order notification signal, the internal lottery result notification signal, and the operation notification that are output from the main board 10. Signal, gaming state notification signal, AT lottery result notification signal, extra lottery result notification signal, counter notification signal, rotation start notification signal, weight start notification signal, weight end notification signal, reel effect lottery result notification signal, reel effect start notification signal Based on the reel production end notification signal and the like, the second production control means 200 of the sub-board 20 performs the internal lottery result, the AT lottery result, the extra lottery result, the type of winning combination, and the operation performed by the player. In addition, the second display device 330 and the sound device 340 can be made to perform effects according to the current game state and the like.

  Next, the sub substrate 20 will be described. The sub board 20 is configured to include an effect control means 200 and a sub memory 200S.

  The effect control unit 200 controls the display effect performed using the second display device 330 and the sound effect performed using the audio device 340 based on the effect data stored in the effect data storage unit 201 of the sub memory 200S. I do. For example, lamps and LEDs are turned on in response to the occurrence of gaming events such as the insertion of medals, operations on the 1 bet button B01, MAX bet button B0M, start lever SL, stop buttons B1 to B3, payout of medals, and changes in gaming state Alternatively, by performing blinking, changing the display content of the liquid crystal display LCD, or outputting sound from a speaker, the execution of an effect for boosting the game or assisting the game is performed.

  In particular, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 19, the production control means 200, when either one of the eight-batted-order small winning combinations or three-batted-order small winning combination is won in the AT state (eight-batted-order small winning combination notification signal or The correct answer order corresponding to the type of the eight-stroke order small role or the three-sheet-order small role is notified from the main board 10 based on the signal when the three-sheet-order small role winning notification signal is input) ) To indicate the pressing order of the stop buttons B1 to B3, and the correct answer 1, correct answer 2, correct answer 3, correct answer 4, correct answer 5, correct answer 6 Alternatively, control is performed to cause the second display device 330 and the audio device 340 to execute a correct hitting order notification effect (specific operation mode notification effect, winning assist effect) that assists the winning of the correct answer small part 7. For example, when the correct batting order notification signal for notifying batting order 1 as the correct batting order is input in the AT state, the effect control means 200 displays the second display by the correct batting order notification effect as shown in FIG. The batting order 1 is displayed on the liquid crystal display LCD as the device 330 to notify the correct batting order notified from the main board 10. As described above, in the present embodiment, the instruction content indicated by the instruction information displayed by the main board 10 on the payout display unit PO is reported on the effect by the sub board 20 by the correct hitting order notification effect. In the non-AT state, the production control means 200 ignores the correct batting order notification included in the signal when the 8 batting order small part winning notification signal or the 3 batting order small part winning notification signal is input. The notification of the correct hit order notified from the substrate 10 is not performed.

  In the AT state, when the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed according to the correct hit order notified in the correct hit order notification effect, the correct answer small set 1 always wins when the eight-batted order small combination LC1, LC2, LR1, LR2 is won. The correct answer 4 is always awarded when winning the eight-batting order small part LC3, LC4, LR3, LR4, RL3, RL4, RC3, RC4, and the correct answer is always winning when the eight-batting order winning combination CL1, CL2, CR1, CR2 is selected. The small part 2 wins, the correct answer small part 5 always wins when the eight-batted order small part CL3, CL4, CR3, CR4 is won, and the correct answer small part always when the eight-batted order small part RL1, RL2, RC1, RC2 wins Since 3 can win and 8 medals can be obtained, the player can increase the number of medals on hand, and the three-batting order small role L1, L2, C1, C2, R1, The correct small part 6 always wins when winning 2, and the correct small part 7 always wins and wins 3 medals when winning the three batting order small L3, L4, C3, C4, R3, and R4. Since this is possible, it is possible to prevent the player from reducing the medals on hand.

  Further, when the batting order replay A or batting order replay B is won in the AT state, the effect control means 200 first presses the batting order 1 (B1 → B2 → B3), batting order 2 (B1 → B3 → B2), and the stop button B1. From among the three types of pressing order (B1 → ANY → ANY), the pressing order lottery that determines the pressing order to be notified (instructed) is performed. In the pressing order lottery, the random number value is acquired, and the acquired random number value is compared with the pressing order lottery table stored in the effect lottery table storage unit 202 of the sub memory 200S, and the notification is notified according to the comparison result. Determine the order. In the pressing order lottery table, for example, each of 32768 random values from 0 to 32767 is associated with any one of the order of hitting order 1, hitting order 2, and stop button B1. In the order lottery table, the pressing order associated with the random value acquired in the pressing order lottery is determined as the pressing order to be notified. When the pressing order is determined, the effect control means 200 is an effect informing the pressing order determined by the pressing order lottery and instructing the pressing order of the stop buttons B1 to B3, as shown in FIG. When the second display device 330 or the audio device 340 is controlled to execute a pressing order notification effect that assists winning, and the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed according to the pressing order notified by the pressing order notification effect, the replay 2 is performed. In order to win a prize, it is possible not to display the BAR loss or the BAR aligned stop mode. In this way, the pressing order notification effect that is executed when the batting order replay A is won in the AT state informs the mode of the stop operation for avoiding the display of the BAR loss stop mode, and the batting order replay is performed in the AT state. The pressing order notification effect to be executed when B is won notifies the stop operation mode for avoiding the display of the stop mode with the BAR. In the pressing order lottery, the order in which the hitting order 3, the hitting order 4, and the stop button B2 are initially pressed may be determined as the pressing order to be notified.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 21, when the batting order replay B is won in the non-AT state, the effect control means 200 performs the stop operation of the stop buttons B1 to B3 at the timing for displaying the specific batting order and the BAR symbol “BAR”. Control for informing the second display device 330 and the sound device 340 to perform a specific batting order notification effect that assists the winning of the replay 3 by informing the user of the action and instructing the pressing order and the pressing timing of the stop buttons B1 to B3. When the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed according to the specific batting order and the pressing timing notified in the specific batting order notification effect, the BAR aligned stop mode is displayed.

  The effect control means 200 also performs control to cause the second display device 330 and the audio device 340 to execute a specific batting order notification effect even when the batting order replay A is won in the non-AT state. In this case, when the stop buttons B1 to B3 are pressed according to the specific batting order and the pressing timing notified in the specific batting order notification effect, the BAR loss stop mode is displayed.

  Here, in the present embodiment, when the batting order replay A or the batting order replay B is won, the sub-board 20 performs the pressing order notification effect or the specific batting order notification effect that notifies the pressing order and instructs the stop operation. However, the main board 10 is configured not to display the instruction information indicating the instruction contents of the game method. Thereby, according to this embodiment, the data amount of the program of the main board | substrate 10 can be suppressed now.

  Further, the effect control means 200 causes the second display device 330 and the sound device 340 to execute a non-AT state effect that excites games in the non-AT state in the non-AT state, and AT state effects that excite the game in the AT state in the AT state. Is executed by the second display device 330 or the acoustic device 340. In particular, in the present embodiment, the effect control means 200 executes the correct batting order notification effect at the time of winning of either the eight-batting order small role or the three-batting order small role while executing the AT state effect in the AT state.

  Note that the functions of this embodiment can be virtually realized by a computer system (including a game system). In these systems, by downloading a program that causes a computer to function as the main board 10 or the sub board 20 of the present embodiment from an information storage medium such as a CD or a DVD or a Web server on the Internet via the network, the function is achieved. Can be realized. In the above computer system, the medal insertion switch 210, the bet switch 220, the start switch 230, the stop switch 240 and the like virtually function their functions with respect to operation means such as a keyboard, a pointing device (mouse, etc.), or a controller. This can be realized by assigning. In the above computer system, the reel unit 310, the hopper unit 320, and the like are not indispensable constituent elements. These device units virtually realize their functions by controlling images displayed on a display (display device). can do.

1-2. In this embodiment, in the assist time state, when either of the eight-batted-order small winning combinations or the three-sheet-batted-order small winning combination is won, before the display of the correct hitting order information by the main board 10 is started. A method of starting the correct hitting order notification effect by the sub-board 20 is employed. In the present embodiment, the display of the correct hitting order information by the main board 10 and the correct hitting order notification effect by the sub board 20 are started at the same time before the display of the correct hitting order information by the main board 10 is started. In addition, strictly speaking, due to the relationship between the processing of the main board 10 and the sub board 20, the display of the correct hit order information by the main board 10 is started before the correct hit order notification effect by the sub board 20. This includes a case where the players start at substantially the same timing so that the player can recognize that they have started at the same time. In other words, the player is started at the same time except for the timing at which the player can clearly recognize that the display of the correct hitting order information by the main board 10 is started before the correct hitting order notification effect by the sub board 20. This includes the case where it is started at substantially the same timing so that it can be recognized. Hereinafter, the method of the present embodiment will be specifically described.

  In the present embodiment, on the main board 10, the display control means 183 determines whether or not the reel effect lottery has been won, and the weight when any of the eight-batted order small winning combination is won in the AT state. It is determined whether or not the period has elapsed. Then, as shown in FIG. 22 (A), the display control means 183 determines that the result of the reel effect lottery is lost in the game in which one of the eight-batted order small winning combinations is won in the AT state. If the reel effect is not executed and the wait period has elapsed, the instruction information is triggered by the fact that the reel effect lottery result is lost and the determination result that the wait period has elapsed is obtained. Is displayed on the payout display unit PO, and display of the instruction information (correct answer order information) is started. That is, in this case, display of the instruction information (correct hit order information) is started in response to the game start operation on the start lever SL.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 22B, the display control means 183 determines that the result of the reel effect lottery is lost in a game in which either of the eight-batted order small winning combination or the three-batted order small winning combination is won in the AT state. When the reel effect is not executed and the wait period has not elapsed, the instruction information display process for displaying the instruction information on the payout display unit PO when the wait period has elapsed and the wait process has ended. To display the instruction information (correct answer order information).

  Further, as shown in FIG. 23, the display control means 183 executes the reel effect by winning the reel effect lottery in the game in which one of the eight-batted-order small winning combinations and the three-batted-order small winning combination are won in the AT state. In this case, when the reel effect is finished, an instruction information display process for displaying the instruction information on the payout display unit PO is performed to start displaying the instruction information (correct answer order information).

  In addition, in the sub-board 20, the effect control means 200 determines whether or not the gaming state is the AT state when the eight-batting order small part winning notification signal or the three-batting order small combination winning notification signal is input, When the determination result that the state is the AT state is obtained, the correct hit order notification effect for notifying the correct hit order notified from the main board 10 is started. In particular, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 22B, even when the wait period has not elapsed, the correct hitting order notification effect is started without waiting for the elapse of the wait period, and is shown in FIG. Thus, even when the reel effect is executed, the correct hitting order notification effect is started without waiting for the end of the reel effect. That is, the sub-board 20 responds to the game start operation with respect to the start lever SL regardless of whether the wait period has elapsed and whether or not the reel effect is executed (the game start operation with respect to the start lever SL is performed). The correct answer order notification effect is started (from the time of being performed).

  Accordingly, in the present embodiment, in the case shown in FIG. 22B, the display of the instruction information (correct answer order information) by the main board 10 is started from the end time (predetermined time) of the weight process. Before the display of the instruction information (correct answer order information) by 10 is started, the correct answer order notification effect by the sub-board 20 is started. In the case shown in FIG. 23, the instruction information (correct answer order information) by the main board 10 is displayed. Is started from the end time (predetermined time) of the reel effect, the correct hitting order notification effect by the sub board 20 is started before the display of the instruction information (correct answer hit order information) by the main board 10 is started. In the case shown in FIG. 22A, the instruction information (correct answer order) by the main board 10 is displayed in order to start displaying the instruction information (correct answer order information) by the main board 10 in response to the game start operation on the start lever SL. Information) display and the correct hitting order notification effect by the sub-board 20 are started almost simultaneously. That is, in the case shown in FIG. 22A, the correct hitting order notification effect by the sub board 20 is started before the display of the instruction information (correct answer hit order information) by the main board 10 is started.

  In this embodiment, when the rotation of each reel is started, the rotation speed of each reel is accelerated until the predetermined speed is reached. When the predetermined speed is reached, each reel is rotated at a predetermined speed and the stop operation is performed. When the first stop operation (first stop operation) is performed and the reel corresponding to the operated stop button is stopped, the second stop operation (second stop operation) is performed. When the reel corresponding to the operated stop button stops and the third stop operation (third stop operation) is performed, the reel corresponding to the operated stop button stops. When the corresponding reel is stopped by the third stop operation (third stop operation) (when all reels are stopped), a winning determination process is performed, and when the winning determination process is performed, based on the determination result by the winning determination process. The winning determination process is performed. As the winning determination process, a medal payout control process is performed when the small role is won, a replay process is performed when the replay is won, and the game state is shifted when the bonus is won. State transition control processing is performed.

  In the main board 10, the display control means 183 displays the number of medals paid out as the payout determination process when the small role is won in the game in which the instruction information is displayed on the payout display section PO. When the payout number display process to be displayed is performed and no small role has been won, as a winning determination process, all the segments of the 7-segment display constituting the payout display section PO are turned off to do nothing. A non-display process is performed to prevent display. Thus, in this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 22A and 22B, when the reel effect is not executed, the rotation of all the reels is stopped after the rotation driving of each reel is started. The instruction information is displayed on the payout display section PO over the entire period until the winning determination process is performed (when the reel is rotating), and when the small role is won, the medal is paid out instead of the instruction information. When the reel effect is executed as shown in FIG. 23 when the number is displayed on the payout display unit PO, the rotation of all reels is stopped after the reels are driven to rotate after the reel effect is finished. The instruction information is displayed on the payout display section PO over the entire period until the winning determination process is performed (during the reel rotation after the end of the reel effect). Change the number of medals to be paid out To be displayed on the radical 113 PO.

  In the sub-board 20, the effect control means 200 receives an operation notification signal for notifying that the stop button related to the third (last) stop operation has been pressed in the game in which the correct batting order notification effect is executed. As a result, the correct hitting order notification effect ends. Accordingly, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 22 and 23, in the AT state, either the eight-batted order small winning combination or the three-sheet hitting small combination is won and the eight-batted order small combination and 3 The stop button related to the third (last) stop operation is pressed after the notification that one of the small hitting orders is won, and the stop button related to the third (last) stop operation is pressed from the main board 10 The correct batting order notification effect is executed until it is notified that it has been done.

  Next, a processing flow of the gaming machine of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 24 and 25. FIG. 24 and FIGS. 25A and 25B are flowcharts for explaining processing of the main board 10 of the gaming machine of this embodiment, and FIG. 25C is a sub board of the gaming machine of this embodiment. 20 is a flowchart illustrating 20 processing.

  First, as shown in FIG. 24, in the main board 10, when any of the eight-batted order small winning combinations is won in the AT state (Y in step S100), that any of the eight-batted order small winning combinations is won in the internal lottery. An eight-stroke order small role winning notification signal for notifying the correct strike order corresponding to the type of the single-stroke order small role is output to the sub-board 20 (step S101), and reel effect lottery is performed (step S104). In addition, when any three-batting order small role is won in the AT state (Y in step S102), the correct answer order according to the fact that any three-batting order small role is won in the internal lottery and the type of the three-batting order small role Is output to the sub-board 20 (step S103), and a reel effect lottery is performed (step S104).

  Then, it is determined whether or not the reel effect lottery has been won (step S105), and whether or not the wait period has elapsed (step S107). If the reel effect lottery result is lost and the wait period has elapsed. Is obtained (N in step S105, Y in step S107), a display control signal corresponding to the type of the eight-sheet-batting order small combination or the three-sheet-batting-order small combination is output to the payout display portion PO. An instruction information display process for displaying correct hit order information (instruction information) on the payout display unit PO according to the type of the single hit order or three shot order miniatures is performed, and display of the correct hit order information (instruction information) is started. (Step S109) Acceleration processing is performed in which rotation of each reel is started and accelerated until a predetermined speed is reached (Step S110).

  On the other hand, if the determination result that the reel effect lottery is won is obtained (Y in step S105), a reel effect process for executing the reel effect is performed (step S106). In the reel effect process, as shown in FIG. 25A, each reel is rotated by 45 degrees (predetermined angle) in the direction opposite to the normal rotation direction and stopped at that position (step S200). Each reel stopped at the rotated position is maintained for 3 seconds (predetermined stop time) (step S201), and each reel is maintained stopped for 3 seconds (Y in step S201). The production process ends.

  When the reel effect processing is completed, as shown in FIG. 24, a display control signal corresponding to the type of the eight-sheet-batting order small combination or the three-sheet-batting-order small combination is output to the payout display portion PO, An instruction information display process for displaying correct hit order information (instruction information) on the payout display unit PO in accordance with the type of the three-stroke order small role is performed, and display of the correct hit order information (instruction information) is started (step S109). Acceleration processing for starting rotation of each reel and accelerating until reaching a predetermined speed is performed (step S110).

  If a determination result is obtained that the wait period has not elapsed (N in step S107), a wait process is performed in which the start of rotational driving of each reel is temporarily suspended until the wait period elapses. (Step S108). In the wait process, as shown in FIG. 25B, it is determined whether or not the wait period has elapsed (step S300). When the wait period has elapsed (Y in step S300), the wait process ends.

  When the wait process is completed, as shown in FIG. 24, a display control signal corresponding to the type of the eight-sheet-batting order small combination and the three-sheet-batting-order small combination is output to the payout display portion PO to The instruction information display process for displaying the correct answer order information (instruction information) corresponding to the type of the hitting order small part on the payout display unit PO is performed, and the display of the correct answer order information (instruction information) is started (step S109). Acceleration processing is performed to start rotating the reel and accelerate it until a predetermined speed is reached (step S110).

  Next, as shown in FIG. 25 (C), when the sub-board 20 receives the eight-sheet-batting order small combination winning notification signal or the three-sheet-batting-order small winning combination notification signal output from the main board 10 (step S400). Y), it is determined whether or not the gaming state is the AT state (step S401), and when the determination result that the gaming state is the AT state is obtained (Y in step S401), the main board 10 is notified. The correct hitting order notification effect for notifying the correct hitting order is started (executed) (step S402).

  Thus, in the present embodiment, the main board 10 is information indicating the correct answer order as instruction information when any of the eight-batted-order small winning combination and the three-sheet-batted-order small winning combination is won in the internal lottery in the AT state. The batting order information is displayed on the payout display section PO, and the sub-board 20 notifies the correct batting order notification effect when either of the 8 batting order small winning combinations or the 3 batting order small winning combination is won in the internal lottery in the AT state. Is executed by the second display device 330 or the acoustic device 340. That is, in the present invention, the sub board 20 notifies the instruction content (correct answer order) indicated by the instruction information displayed on the payout display unit PO by the main board 10 on the effect by the correct answer order notification effect.

  In such a gaming machine, when a situation occurs in which the instruction information (correct answer order information) is displayed but the correct answer order notification effect is not executed, the player pays attention to the display of the instruction information (correct answer order information). However, in this embodiment, the sub-board 20 is displayed before the display of the instruction information (correct answer order information) by the main board 10 is started (by the player) Since the correct hitting order notification effect is started at the same time that can be recognized as being started at the same time), the above situation can be prevented from occurring. Specifically, the display of the instruction information (correct answer order information) by the main board 10 is started in principle in response to a game start operation on the start lever SL. However, when the reel effect is executed as an exception, the reel effect is performed. Even if the reel effect is not executed even if the reel effect is not executed, if the wait period has not elapsed, it is started from the end of the weight process, and the correct effect strike order notification effect by the sub-board 20 is executed by the reel effect. Since the game is started in response to the game start operation with respect to the start lever SL regardless of whether or not the wait period has elapsed, it is possible to prevent the above-described situation from occurring. Thereby, according to this Embodiment, the production | presentation by the sub board | substrate 20 can be prevented as much as possible, and game property can be prevented from being impaired. In addition, during the reel production, since the instruction information (correct answer order information) is not displayed by the main board 10, the reel production can be prevented from being impaired as much as possible, and the game performance can be prevented from being impaired.

  In the present embodiment, on the main board 10, the display control means 183, as shown in FIG. 29 (A), provides a reel effect in a game in which one of the eight-batted-order small winning combination and the three-batted-order small winning combination are won in the AT state. When the reel production is not executed due to the result of the lottery being lost and the wait period has elapsed, the rotation operation of each reel is started and the stop operation is activated. An instruction information display process for displaying the instruction information on the payout display unit PO is performed to start displaying the instruction information (correct answer order information).

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 29B, the display control means 183 determines that the result of the reel effect lottery is lost in a game in which either of the eight-batted order small winning combination or the three-batted-order small winning combination is won in the AT state. If the reel effect is not executed and the wait period has not elapsed, the instruction information is received when the wait period elapses and the rotation operation of each reel is started and the stop operation is activated. An instruction information display process to be displayed on the payout display unit PO is performed to start displaying instruction information (correct answer order information).

  Further, as shown in FIG. 30, the display control means 183 executes the reel effect by winning the reel effect lottery in the game in which one of the eight-batted-order small winning combinations is won in the AT state. In such a case, the instruction information display process is performed to display the instruction information on the payout display unit PO when the reel effect is finished and the rotation operation of each reel is started and the stop operation is validated. Display of (correct answer order information) is started.

3-2. Method of this Embodiment A flow of processing of the gaming machine of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 28 is a flowchart for explaining processing of the main board 10 of the gaming machine of the present embodiment.

  In the main substrate 10, as shown in FIG. 31, in steps S600 to S608, processing similar to that in steps S100 to S108 in FIG. 24 is performed, and the rotational driving of each reel is started and accelerated until a predetermined speed is reached. Acceleration processing is performed (step S609), steady rotation processing for rotating each reel at a predetermined speed is performed (step S610), stop operation enabling processing for enabling stop operation is performed (step S611), 8 A display control signal corresponding to the type of the three-stroke order small role is output to the payout display unit PO by outputting a display control signal corresponding to the type of the three-stroke order small role, and the correct strike order information (instruction Information) is displayed on the payout display unit PO, and display of correct hitting order information (instruction information) is started (step S612).

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the sub-board 20 is displayed at substantially the same timing before the display of the instruction information (correct answer order information) by the main board 10 is started (the player can recognize that it has started at the same time). (Including the case where it is started), the correct hitting order notification effect is started. Specifically, the display of the instruction information (correct answer order information) by the main board 10 ends when the reel effect is executed, the reel effect ends, and the rotation operation of each reel is started and the stop operation is validated. When the reel effect is not executed and the wait period has not elapsed, the wait period elapses and the rotation operation of each reel is started and the stop operation is activated. When the reel effect is not executed and the wait period has elapsed, the reel board is started from the time when the rotation of each reel is started and the stop operation is validated. Is started in response to the game start operation on the start lever SL regardless of whether or not the reel effect is executed and whether or not the wait period has elapsed. Because, instruction information (correct lineup information) is being displayed can be prevented to generate a situation where correct batting order notification effect is not running. Thereby, according to this Embodiment, the production | presentation by the sub board | substrate 20 can be prevented as much as possible, and game property can be prevented from being impaired. In addition, during the reel production, since the instruction information (correct answer order information) is not displayed by the main board 10, the reel production can be prevented from being impaired as much as possible, and the game performance can be prevented from being impaired.

  In the present embodiment, the display of the instruction information (correct answer order information) by the main board 10 may be started from the end point of the reel effect when the reel effect is executed. It may be started from the time when the rotation of each reel is started and the steady rotation at a predetermined speed is started, or when the reel effect is not executed and the wait period has not elapsed. May be started from the end of the weight process, or may be started from the time at which the reel period is driven and the rotation of each reel is started and the steady rotation at a predetermined speed is started. Alternatively, if the reel production is not executed and the wait period has elapsed, the game is started in response to the game start operation on the start lever SL. It may be, may be allowed to start from the time the normal rotation is started at a predetermined speed rotation drive is started for each reel. That is, when the display of instruction information (correct answer order information) by the main board 10 is started, when the reel effect is executed, when the reel effect is not executed, and when the wait period has not passed, May be different or may be the same depending on whether the wait period has elapsed.

4). Modifications The present invention is not limited to those described in the above embodiment, and various modifications can be made. Modifications will be introduced below. Note that the above-described embodiment and various methods described below as modified examples can be appropriately combined and employed as a control method for realizing the present invention.

  In the above embodiment, the case where the suitability of winning the correct answer role varies depending on the pressing order when one of the eight-batting-order winning roles and the three-batting-order winning role is won. Depending on the timing, the suitability of winning the correct small combination may vary. For example, as a correct small role, a correct small role 1 (specific small role) in which “red 7 symbol / bell symbol / bell symbol” is set as a symbol combination indicating a winning style, and “blue 7 symbol as a symbol combination indicating a winning style. -Correct small role 2 (specific small role) in which "Bell symbol / Bell symbol" is set, and correct answer small role 3 (specific small point) in which "BAR symbol / Bell symbol / Bell symbol" is set as a symbol combination indicating a winning pattern In the first reel R1, only one of the 7 red, 7 blue and BAR symbols is valid depending on the timing of pressing the 7 red, 7 blue and BAR symbols. An internal lottery is performed so that there are multiple types of specific winning modes that are arranged so that they cannot be displayed at the display position on the line, and the correct answer small combinations 1 to 3 are not overlapped with each other. Kind of When any of the regular winning modes is obtained, when the stop operation for the stop button B1 is performed at an appropriate pressing timing (specific operation mode) according to the type of the specific winning mode (correct answer small role), The correct answer winning combination was won, and the stop operation for the stop button B1 was performed at a pressing timing (operation mode different from the specific operation mode) different from the appropriate pressing timing according to the type of the specific winning mode (correct answering mode) In this case, the rotating reel may be stopped so that the correct answer small combination does not win. In this example, when the main board 10 obtains any one of a plurality of types of specific winning modes in the internal lottery in the AT state, as the instruction information, the pressing timing corresponding to the type of the specific winning mode (correct answer small role) Is displayed on the payout display unit PO, and the sub-board 10 notifies the pressing timing according to the type of the specific winning mode (correct answer small role) notified from the main board 10 (for example, red 7). Aim at the symbol! Etc.) may be executed. In addition, it is not restricted to the case where the correctness of winning a correct small part varies depending on the pressing timing, and the appropriateness of winning a correct small part may vary depending on the pressing order and the pressing timing (specific operation mode). In this case, when any of a plurality of types of specific winning modes is obtained by internal lottery, the main board 10 has a correct winning order (specific operation mode) according to the type of the specific winning mode and a specific winning mode ( When a stop operation is performed on the stop button B1 at an appropriate pressing timing (specific operation mode) according to the type of the correct answer role), the correct answer role wins and the correct answer order according to the type of the specific winning mode Even if the stop operation is performed in a different pressing order (operation mode different from the specific operation mode) or the stop operation is performed in the correct hit order according to the type of the specific winning mode, the specific winning mode ( Correct answer When a stop operation is performed on the stop button B1 at a pressing timing (operation mode different from the specific operation mode) different from the appropriate pressing timing according to the type of the combination, the correct answer small role is rotated so as not to win a prize. When the reel is stopped and one of a plurality of types of specific winning modes is obtained by internal lottery in the AT state, the pressing order (correct answer hitting order) and the pressing timing according to the type of the specific winning mode are used as instruction information. Is displayed on the payout display unit PO, and the sub-board 10 executes a notification effect that notifies the pressing order and the pressing timing according to the type of the specific winning mode notified from the main board 10. Good.

  In the above embodiment, instruction information (correct answer order information: game information indicating a specific operation mode), which is information indicating the instruction content of the gaming method, has been described as an example. The game information indicating (related to) the internal lottery result (identification information indicating the internal lottery result) may be displayed on the payout display unit PO. Specifically, game information (display mode) indicating the results of the internal lottery corresponding to each of the eight-batting order small role and the three-batting order small role is set in advance, and in the AT state, the eight-batting order small role and the three-batting order When any of the small combinations is won, game information corresponding to the type of the eight-batted order small role or the three-batted-order small role may be displayed on the payout display section PO or the credit display section CD. Further, for example, game information (related) indicating the winning combination won in the internal lottery (identification information indicating (related) the winning combination won in the internal lottery) may be displayed on the payout display unit PO. Specifically, game information (display mode) indicating the winning combination won in the internal lottery corresponding to each combination of winning combinations won in the internal lottery is set in advance, and in the AT state, the eight-batted order small combination and three pieces If any of the batting order small roles is won, game information corresponding to the combination of winning characters won in the internal lottery may be displayed on the payout display section PO, and each of the correct small numbers 1 to 7 may be displayed. The game information (display mode) indicating the winning combination won in the corresponding internal lottery is set in advance, and the correct winning combination is selected when either the 8 or 6-batted-order winning combination is won in the AT state. Depending on the game information, it may be displayed on the payout display section PO or the credit display section CD. Even in this case, the game information indicating the result of the internal lottery and the game information indicating the winning combination won in the internal lottery are game information indicating the correct hitting order. Play. In the case where game information indicating the result of the internal lottery or game information indicating the winning combination won in the internal lottery is displayed on the payout display unit PO, a shape (display mode) that is not recognized as a character such as a number or an alphabetic character. ) Is desirable.

  In the above embodiment, the display of the instruction information (correct answer order information) by the main board 10 has been described as an example of starting from various points such as the end point of the weight process and the end point of the reel effect. The operation may be started before (or before) the operation is validated and the stop operation is performed, and is not limited to the above example. For example, the display of the instruction information (correct answer order information) may be started when the rotation of each reel is started. When a reel effect is executed, rotation of each reel is started as each reel is operated in a specific manner by the reel effect, or rotation of each reel is started after the reel effect ends. As a trigger, display of the instruction information (correct answer order information) may be started.

  In the embodiment described above, the sub-board 20 performs the correct hit order notification effect in response to the game start operation on the start lever SL regardless of whether the reel effect is executed and whether the wait period has elapsed. The case of starting is described by way of example, but it may be started at any time as long as the correct answer order notification effect is started before the display of the instruction information (correct answer order information) by the main board 10 is started. For example, when the reel effect is executed, the correct batting order notification effect is started from the end of the reel effect, and when the reel effect is not executed and the wait period has not elapsed, the weight process ends. You may make it start a correct hit order notification effect from a time. Specifically, the reel board end notification signal output from the main board 10 is input to the sub-board 20 when an eight-sheet hitting order small winning combination notification signal or a three-sheet hitting order small winning combination notification signal is input. With this as an opportunity, the correct answer order notification effect may be executed, or when the weight end notification signal output from the main board 10 is input, the correct answer order notification effect may be executed. Good.

  Further, in the above embodiment, the case has been described in which instruction information, which is information indicating the instruction content of the gaming method, is displayed during rotation of the reel. However, the instruction information is not displayed under specific circumstances even while the reel is rotating. You may make it not display. For example, in the above embodiment, there is only one type of stop button that can be operated when the second stop operation is performed out of the third (last) stop operation. Therefore, in the game in which the instruction information is displayed. The stop button related to the second stop operation is pressed (the stop switch corresponding to the stop button related to the second stop operation is turned on), and the stop button related to the second stop operation is pressed Released from the state (the stop switch corresponding to the stop button related to the second stop operation was turned off), the stop button related to the third stop operation was pressed (the third stop operation) (The stop switch corresponding to the stop button related to the button has been turned on.) The stop button related to the third stop operation is released from the pressed state. As a result of the fact that the stop switch corresponding to the stop button related to the third stop operation has been turned off, the rotation of all reels has stopped, or the winning determination process has been performed, You may make it complete | finish the display of instruction information. Specifically, with any of the above as a trigger, the display of instruction information is performed by performing a non-display process that turns off all the segments of the 7-segment display constituting the payout display section PO so that nothing is displayed. You may make it complete | finish.

  Further, for example, in the above embodiment, when the first (first) stop operation is performed in the incorrect answer order, it is impossible to perform the stop operation in the correct answer order, so the instruction information is displayed. When the first stop operation is performed in the incorrect order in the played game, the stop button related to the first, second, or third stop operation is pressed (first, second, Alternatively, the stop switch corresponding to the stop button related to the third stop operation has been turned on), or the stop button related to the first, second, or third stop operation has been released from the pressed state (1 The stop switch corresponding to the stop button associated with the second, second, or third stop operation has been turned off), the rotation of all reels has stopped, or the winning determination process Triggered by the Broken may be end the display of the instruction information. Specifically, similar to the above example, with any of the above as an opportunity, the display of the instruction information is terminated by performing a non-display process for turning off all the segments of the 7-segment display constituting the payout display unit PO. It may be. Further, for example, the display of the instruction information may be terminated when a winning combination of a winning combination or that a winning combination is not confirmed (missed) is confirmed.

  Further, in the above embodiment, if no winning combination is won (when the number of payouts is determined to be “0”), all the segments of the 7-segment display constituting the payout display section PO are turned off. However, in the non-display process, a display control signal corresponding to the number of payouts (“0”) is output to the payout display unit PO, and the “non-display process” is performed. “0” may be displayed on the payout display section PO. Similarly in the above-described modification, “0” may be displayed in the non-display process performed to end the display of the instruction information.

  Further, in the above embodiment, when the number of medals paid out is displayed on the payout display unit PO, the payout display unit PO is configured when the medal is set in the inserted state for the next game. The case where the display of the number of paid-out medals is terminated by performing a non-display process for turning off all the segments of the segment display device has been described as an example. The display of the number of medals to be paid out may be terminated by performing a non-display process for turning off all the segments of the 7-segment display.

  In the above-described embodiment, the case where the instruction information is displayed on the payout display unit PO has been described as an example. However, any device that is controlled by the main board 10 may be used for display. You may make it display on display part CD and bonus display part BS. When the instruction information is displayed on the credit display unit CD, the instruction information may be displayed instead of the medal credit number during the rotation of the reel. Further, for example, as a device controlled by the main board 10, a device (display device) that displays the remaining number of games of the AT game based on the stored value of the AT end determination counter 197 in the AT state, a payout display unit PO, a credit display It may be prepared separately from the part CD and the bonus display part BS, and the instruction information may be displayed on the device.

  In addition, for example, the instruction information may be displayed using an LED incorporated in each of the stop buttons B1 to B3. Specifically, in a state where the stop operation for the stop buttons B1 to B3 is invalidated, the LEDs built in the stop buttons B1 to B3 are caused to emit red light (first mode), and each reel is rotated at a steady rotation. Then, when the stop operation for the stop button is validated, the LED incorporated in each of the stop buttons B1 to B3 emits light in green (second mode), and the stop operation for the stop button is performed, and the stop button When the stop operation is invalidated, the LED built in the operated stop button emits light in red (first mode), and either of the eight-batted-order small winning combination or the three-batted-order small winning combination is set in the AT state. When winning, the LED built in the stop button to be operated emits light in blue (third mode) to indicate instruction information (indicating correct answer order) It may be allowed to display the broadcast). For example, when the eight-batting order small role LC1 in which the batting order 1 is set as the correct batting order is won, it is built in each of the stop buttons B1 to B3 until each reel is normally rotated and the stop operation is validated. When the stop operation is enabled, the LED of the stop button B1 to be operated first is made to emit blue light, and the other LEDs of the remaining stop buttons B2 and B3 are made to emit green light to stop. When the stop operation for the button B1 is performed, the LED of the stop button B1 is lit in red, and the LED of the stop button B2 to be operated following the stop button B1 is lit in blue, so that the stop operation for the stop button B2 is performed. If it is broken, the LED of the stop button B2 is lit in red and connected to the stop button B2. The LED of the stop button B3 to be operated Te emit light in blue, the LED of the stop button B3 may be caused to emit light at red when the stopping operation for the stop button B3 has been performed. In this example, when the stop operation is invalidated, the LED of the stop button may be turned off, or the instruction information is displayed by blinking the LED of the stop button to be operated. May be.

  In the above-described embodiment, the case where two types of information, that is, instruction information and the number of medals to be paid out are displayed on the same device (payout display unit PO) has been described as an example. And the number of medals credits may be displayed on the same device (for example, the payout display unit PO). For example, when the reels are rotated, the instruction information is displayed on the payout display section PO, and when all the reels stop and the small role is won, the medal payout number is displayed on the payout display section PO instead of the instruction information. When the processing for one game is completed and the acceptance of medals is newly started, the number of medal credits is displayed on the payout display section PO instead of the medal payout number, and all reels are stopped. If no winning combination is won, the medal credit number is displayed on the payout display section PO instead of the instruction information, or “0” is displayed on the payout display section PO as the medal payout number instead of the instruction information. When the processing related to one game is completed and a new medal acceptance is started, the medal credit number may be displayed on the payout display section PO instead of the medal payout number.

  In the above-described embodiment, the payout display unit PO and the credit display unit PO have been described by way of example of a 7-segment display. You may make it comprise by these.

  In the above-described embodiment, the case where numbers “1” to “9” are set as instruction information to be displayed on the payout display unit PO has been described as an example. However, the instruction information is not limited to numbers. Characters such as alphabet letters, symbols, figures, a combination of lighting / extinguishing of a plurality of lamps and LEDs, a combination of light emission colors of a plurality of LEDs, etc., as shown in FIGS. 32 (A) and 32 (B) The pressing order may be displayed in the same manner as the LCD display. Further, as shown in FIG. 32 (B), the present invention is not limited to displaying the pressing order using the credit display unit PO, the bonus display unit BS, and the payout display unit PO. For example, the payout display unit PO or the credit display unit CD is displayed. Like the bonus display section BS, it is composed of a 7-segment display for displaying a 3-digit number, a 7-segment display for displaying a middle digit, a 7-segment display for displaying a middle-order digit, and a 7-segment display for displaying a lower-order digit. The pressing order may be displayed using three 7-segment displays constituting the payout display section PO, or the pressing order may be displayed using three 7-segment displays constituting the credit display section PO. You may make it do.

  In the above embodiment, the case where the total of the number of medals paid out or the total number of acquired medals in the bonus state is displayed on the bonus display section BS is described as an example. The total number of medals paid out or the total number of acquired medals may also be displayed. For example, medals are paid out in the RT state, which is a gaming state with a high probability of winning an AT state or replay and advantageous for the player. The total number or the total number of acquisitions may also be displayed. In addition, for example, a specification that gives an opportunity to shift to the AT state in the normal state, the bonus establishment state, or the bonus state, allows the game to be played in the AT state in the normal state, and the bonus state is a game state advantageous to the player If the bonus state and the AT state are continuously performed so that the AT state is started after the bonus state ends, the cumulative total or acquisition of the number of medals paid out in the bonus state and the AT state The cumulative total of numbers may be displayed, or multiple types of RT states with different replay win probabilities are prepared as normal states, and after completion of the bonus state, the RT state with the highest replay win probability is transferred. If the specification is such that the RT state is an advantageous game state for the player, the replies after the bonus state and the Bose state are finished. It may be caused to display the sum of total or tally of cumulative payout cumulative medal highest RT state winning probability Lee.

  In addition, the bonus display section BS is not limited to the total number of medals paid out or the total number of medals in a state advantageous to the player, but the remaining number of games until the AT state ends and the RT state advantageous to the player. You may make it display the remaining frequency | count of a game until it complete | finishes.

  Although not specifically mentioned in the above embodiment, the 7-segment display constituting each of the payout display section PO, the bonus display section BS, and the credit display section CD includes 8 segments, as shown in FIG. The lighting / extinguishing of each of the eight segments is controlled by 8-bit data.

  In the above embodiment, the case where the special small role is elected alone in the normal state or the bonus establishment state has been described as an example. However, the winning mode in which a plurality of types of small roles including the special small role are won in succession is described. An internal lottery may be performed so that it exists. In this example, when the winning mode is obtained by internal lottery, the rotating reels may be stopped so that the same winning combination is won regardless of the order of the stop operation and the timing of the stop operation. . Also, in this example, the special small role is won in duplicate with a small role (for example, correct small number 6-7) whose payout is the same as that of the special small role (the profit given to the player when winning is the same). In this way, the winning mode may be set, and when the winning mode is obtained by internal lottery, the spinning reel may be stopped so that one of the small roles always wins. In addition, in addition to a small role that has the same dividend as a special small role, a small role whose dividend is lower than that of a special small role (for example, a fraudulent small role) will be elected in duplicate. The rotating reels may be stopped so that any of the small combinations whose payouts are set identically wins.

  In the above-described embodiment, the case where the pressing order to be notified by the pressing order lottery is determined when the batting order replay A or the batting order replay B is won in the AT state has been described as an example. The predetermined pressing order (for example, batting order 1) may be notified.

  Moreover, although the case where the sub board | substrate 20 performed the pressing order lottery was demonstrated as an example in the said embodiment, you may make it the main board | substrate 10 perform.

  In the above embodiment, when the batting order replay B is won in the sub-board 20, the specific batting order notification effect for notifying the specific batting order is executed in the non-AT state, and the pressing order determined by the pressing order lottery is performed in the AT state. Although the case where the pressing order notification effect for informing the user is executed has been described as an example, the specific batting order notification effect for notifying the specific batting order may be executed even in the AT state. For example, the main board 10 performs an extra lottery when the batting order replay B is won in the AT state, and performs an extra process of adding a given value to the AT end determination counter 197 when the extra lottery is won. If the sub board 20 wins the extra lottery performed on the main board 10 when the batting order replay B is won in the AT state, the sub board 20 executes a specific batting order notification effect informing the specific batting order, and the result of the extra lottery is lost. In such a case, a pressing order lottery may be performed, and a pressing order notification effect for notifying the pressing order determined by the pressing order lottery may be executed.

  Similarly, when the batting order replay A is won, if the batting order replay A is won in the AT state, an effect execution lottery is performed. If the result of the effect execution lottery is lost, the pressing order lottery may be performed, and the pressing order notification effect for notifying the pressing order determined by the pressing order lottery may be executed.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the sub-board 20 performs the correct batting order notification effect informing the correct batting order and instructing the pressing order of the stop buttons B1 to B3 when any of the 3 batting order small roles is elected in the AT state. The case of executing is described as an example, but in this case, for example, if any of the three-sheet strike order small roles L1 to L4 is won, as shown in FIG. 19, the strike order 1 (B1 → B2 → B3), batting order 2 (B1 → B3 → B2), and the first pressing order of the stop button B1 (B1 → ANY → ANY). Alternatively, a predetermined pressing order among the three types of pressing orders may be notified, or the pressing order to be notified may be determined by a predetermined lottery, or notified according to the situation. Press order May be determined (e.g., by notifying the batting order 1 in the first condition in the AT state, to inform the batting order 2 in the second condition in the AT condition etc.). In addition, you may make it alert | report the correct answer order in the case where any of the three-sheet hitting order small roles C1 to C4 and R1 to R4 wins in the AT state.

  Further, in the above embodiment, the case where the prescribed number of insertions in the normal state, the bonus establishment state, and the gaming state in the bonus state is the same has been described, but the prescribed number of insertions in the normal state and the bonus establishment state is the same. The prescribed number of bonus states may be different from the normal state and the bonus establishment state. For example, the prescribed number of insertions in the normal state and the bonus establishment state may be set to three, the prescribed number of insertions in the bonus state may be set to two, and the prescribed number of insertions in the normal state and the bonus establishment state may be three. Two (or one) may be set to be selectable, and in the bonus state, the specified number of throws may be set to any one of three, two, and one. In this example, the payout for the small role is determined by the prescribed number of inputs, and the dividend for each small role is compared with the dividend at the specified number of inputs in the normal state or the bonus established state. It is desirable to set the same number or more.

  Moreover, although the said embodiment demonstrated the case where the winning mode in which the correct answer small roles 1-5 overlap is not provided as the winning mode of the small role in the normal state and the bonus established state, There may be provided a winning mode in which these roles are won in duplicate. In addition, in the normal state and the bonus establishment state, there may be a winning mode in which only some or all of these winning combinations are won, or only some of these winning combinations are winning. A mode and a winning mode in which all of these roles are won in duplicate may be mixed.

  Further, in the above embodiment, as the winning mode of the small role in the bonus state, a case where there is no winning mode in which the correct small roles 1 to 5 win without overlapping each other, but in the bonus state, these roles are mutually connected. A winning mode for winning without duplication may be provided. In addition, in the bonus state, a winning mode may be set in which only some or all of these roles are won, and a winning mode in which only some of these roles are won and A winning mode in which all of the winning combinations are won may be mixed.

  Further, in the above embodiment, the case where the loss is not generated in the bonus establishment state and the replay or the small role is always won is described as an example. However, the probability is extremely low (for example, 1/65536) in the bonus establishment state. In this case, the big bonus (BB) may be awarded only when a loss (unauthorized) occurs and the result of the internal lottery is a loss. In this example, 3 and 2 (or 1) can be selected as the specified number of inserts in the normal state and the bonus established state, and the bonus number is set to only 3 in the bonus state. In the state, if the specified number of insertions is 3, no loss (unfair election) will occur, and either a small role or replay will always win and the specified number of insertions is 2 (or 1) An internal lottery is performed so that a loss in which neither a small role nor a replay is won can occur, and when the result of the internal lottery is a loss in the bonus establishment state, only the big bonus (BB) is won. Based on this, a big bonus (BB) may be awarded. In this case, it is preferable to avoid the big bonus (BB) winning regardless of the mode of the stop operation when a small role or replay is won in the bonus establishment state. Also, in the bonus establishment state, it is sufficient that the replay wins with a higher probability than the normal state when at least 3 medals are inserted, and the number of inserted medals is 2 (or 1). In some cases, the replay may be won with the same probability as the normal state or with a lower probability than the normal state.

  In this way, when three medals are inserted, in order to maintain the bonus establishment state, the replay or small role in which the winning is given priority over the big bonus (BB) is always won in the bonus establishment state. The operational burden on the player is greatly reduced, and when two (or one) medals are inserted, an opportunity to win a big bonus (BB) can be easily achieved because an internal lottery can cause a loss.
