  FIG. 3 is a block diagram of each control unit.

  The main control unit 100 is a part that performs main control of the gaming machine. The main control unit 100 receives signals from the start lever 5, each stop switch 10, the medal insertion sensor 40, the medal payout sensor 80, the MAX bet switch 9, and the like, and the reel control unit 30, the medal payout device 85, the LED segment display device Control 6 is performed.

  The main control unit 100 performs the lottery regarding the winning combination and the lottery regarding the game state and the appearance, and transmits information to the sub-control unit 110.

  The sub-control unit 110 is a part that controls the effect surface of the gaming machine. The sub-control unit 110 controls information from the signals received from the main control unit 100 and button signals related to each effect, and controls the effects performed by the liquid crystal image display unit 15 and controls each button, sound, LED, and the like. And various control information is transmitted to the liquid crystal control unit 120.

  The liquid crystal control unit 120 is a part that executes various control information received from the sub control unit 110. The player can grasp the normal game state and the special game state according to the effect state controlled by the liquid crystal control unit 120 and displayed on the liquid crystal image display unit 15.

  The special gaming state is an advantageous state for the player, and in this state, the player can acquire more game media compared to the normal gaming state during the period of playing the game. Do.

  In the special game state, a period during which a game can be performed in the game state is determined by each gaming machine. For example, (1) a gaming machine that is managed by the number of games, and that the gaming state is terminated when the prescribed number of games is consumed, or (2) that is managed by a difference number and the gaming state is terminated when the prescribed number of acquired games is reached. (3) A gaming machine that is managed by the number of times that the reel stop order navigation is performed so that a predetermined child role wins, and that the gaming state is terminated when a predetermined number of navigations is reached, etc. (4) The method for setting the period varies depending on each gaming machine.

  The difference number is the difference between the number of inserted medals and credits and the number of paid-out medals. In the gaming machine of this embodiment, the special game state is managed by the difference number.

  In the special gaming state, when the pushing order combination is won, the liquid crystal image display unit 15 notifies the stop order of each reel so that the maximum number obtained is obtained. By operating each stop button 10 in accordance with the notified push order (1 → 2 → 3), the winning push role (a winning small role such as a bell role) wins on the active line Compared to the normal gaming state, more gaming media can be obtained.

  In the present embodiment, when the special game state is won, the initial number to be acquired is determined at the start. After the initial acquisition number is determined by lottery, the initial acquisition number is rewritten based on the winning opportunity, and the liquid crystal image display unit 15 is notified of the initial acquisition number of the player. The notified initial acquisition number is displayed on the liquid crystal image display unit 15 as the number of game media that can be acquired during the period after the start of the special game state, so that the player can acquire the remaining game media that he can acquire. Can be visually recognized.

  After the initial number is determined and the game is started, the game in the special game state is performed until the end condition is satisfied, but the main control unit 100 performs a lottery (addition lottery) to increase the number that can be acquired during the period. When the lottery is won, the liquid crystal image display unit 15 adds an effect.

  When winning is determined for the lottery for increasing the number of game media that can be acquired, the main control unit 100 performs a lottery for the number of games to be increased (hereinafter referred to as an additional number). That is, the main control unit 100 first performs a lottery determination as to whether or not to add, and in the case of a win, determines the number of extras by lottery.

  Based on the basic number and the magnification, the number of additional numbers is determined based on 10 numbers from 0 to 9 for the basic number, and 6 numbers from 2 to 7 are used for the lottery according to the magnification. It is. First, determine the basic number. The main control unit 100 first determines a tenth place value and a first place value by lottery.

  When the tenth lottery result is 1 to 9, the main control unit 100 multiplies the tenth lottery result by 10 times, and adds the first lottery result to the result as the basic number. decide. As an exception, if the lottery result of the tens place is 0, 0 is set to 111, 10 times of the lottery result is not accumulated, and the lottery result of the first place is not used. It becomes. That is, if the tens place lottery result is 0, the basic number is automatically 111.

  After determining the basic number, the main control unit 100 determines the magnification by lottery, and the product of the basic number and the magnification is the additional number in the main lottery.

  In this embodiment, the number of additional sheets acquired is 20 at a minimum of 10 × 2 times and 777 at a maximum of 111 × 7 times, but the present invention is not limited to this embodiment. Absent.

  FIG. 4 is a flowchart of the effects of the present invention.

  After determining the additional number, the main control unit 100 sends information on the additional number to the sub-control unit 110. When the sub-control unit 110 receives the information on the additional number, the sub-control unit 110 performs a calculation for obtaining the basic number and the magnification value. The basic number and magnification are numerical information for display to the player. As an example, when the result of the lottery in the main control unit 100 is 10 × 5 times 50 sheets, the main control unit 100 transmits only a number (numerical information) of 50 additional sheets, and 50 The sub-control unit 110 that has received the number “sheets” performs a calculation to obtain a divisor for the numerical value 50. The divisor is an integer A that can divide a certain integer C, and the divisors of the value 50 are six types of 1, 2, 5, 10, 25, and 50 in order from the smallest.

  In the present invention, the sub-control unit 110 has a characteristic (inventive step) in that the sub-control unit 110 does not calculate the divisor without darkness, but calculates it by a more efficient method.

  As a general method of searching for a divisor of the integer C, it is conceivable to search for divisors in order from 1 and end with the integer C. For example, in the case of 50 (integer C), the divisor integer A is searched in the order 1, 2, 5, 10, 25, 50, but 25 and 50 appearing in the latter half are already approximately Since it has already been calculated as the counterpart integers of Equations 1 and 2, it is a wasteful calculation.

  Therefore, the sub-control unit 110 executes a calculation of integer C (basic number) / divisor A = integer B as a new search method until a predetermined condition (divisor A ≧ integer B) is satisfied. For example, if the basic number is 50, 50 (basic number) ÷ 1 (divisor) = 50 (integer), and a set of divisors and integers is obtained. That is, a set of divisor 1 and integer 50 is made. Divisor A <integer B is satisfied, and the predetermined condition is not satisfied.

  Next, 1 is added to the divisor 1 and recalculation is performed on the numerical value 2 to obtain an integer 25. That is, a set of divisor 2 and integer 25 is made. Divisor A <integer B is satisfied, and the predetermined condition is not satisfied. Then, even if 1 is added to the divisor 2 and recalculation is performed on the numerical value 3, a decimal point is generated and an integer cannot be obtained. Therefore, it is found that the numerical value 3 is not a divisor of the integer 50. This is repeated, and 1 is added to the divisor 4 and recalculation is performed on the numerical value 5 to obtain the integer 10. That is, a set of divisor 5 and integer 10 is made. Divisor A <integer B is satisfied, and the predetermined condition is not satisfied.

  Similarly, even if 1 is added to the divisor 5 and recalculation is performed on the numerical value 6 (to the numerical value 9), an integer cannot be obtained because a decimal point is generated. It turns out that it is not a divisor. 1 is added to the numerical value 9 and recalculation is performed on the numerical value 10 to obtain an integer 5. That is, a set of the divisor 10 and the integer 5 can be formed, but since the predetermined condition (divisor A ≧ integer B) is satisfied, the sub-control unit 110 terminates the discard of the set of divisor and integer.

  As a result of this calculation, three divisor and integer pairs of pair 1 (1, 50), pair 2 (2, 25), and pair 3 (5, 10) are completed. Are replaced, and a total of three divisor and integer pairs of pair 4 (50, 1), pair 5 (25, 2), and pair 6 (10, 5) are completed.

  As described above, when the basic number and magnification values are determined by the sub-control unit 110, information on the basic number, magnification and additional number is transmitted to the liquid crystal control unit 120, and the liquid crystal image display unit 15 Information on the basic number, the magnification, and the additional number is notified to the player. Specifically, the sub control unit 110 determines any one of the pair 1 to the pair 6 by lottery, and causes the liquid crystal control device to execute an effect displayed on the liquid crystal image display unit. For example, when the pair 5 is determined by lottery, the liquid crystal image display unit displays 25 sheets × 2 times.

  FIG. 12 is a flowchart of the superposition display.

  When the sub-control unit 110 receives the basic number at step 200, the sub-control unit 110 first sets 1 as the divisor A (see step 210). Since 1 is all divisors, the calculation for obtaining the divisor for 1 may be omitted, and the calculation process may be started from divisor 2. The sub-control unit 110 obtains an integer B from the base number C and the divisor A in step 220, determines the magnitude relationship between the divisor A and the integer B in step 230, and confirms whether a predetermined condition is satisfied. . If the predetermined condition is satisfied, 1 is added to the divisor A in step 235, and the process proceeds again to steps 220 and 230. On the other hand, if the predetermined condition is not satisfied, the set of divisor and integer is set in step 240. Is created, the production is determined in step 250, and the process ends. In the present invention, the combination of a divisor and an integer is twice or twice -1 of the calculation result.

  According to the present invention, the sub-control unit 110 that performs presentation control that has received the result information of the appearance obtained in the main control unit 100 that controls the appearance determines the divisor of the result information and obtains the obtained divisor. One result is determined by lottery, and as a means for notifying the result information, the multiplication using the divisor determined by the lottery is used, and the liquid crystal image display unit 15 notifies one result. The information can be used to produce various notification patterns.

  Next, description will be made regarding the form of effects in the slot machine in the present embodiment.
