After the operation of all the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R becomes valid, for example, when it is detected that the left stop switch 21L is operated, the left reel 13L is stopped and the operation of the middle stop switch 21M is detected. Then, the middle reel 13M is stopped, and when it is detected that the right stop switch 21R is operated, the right reel 13R is stopped. Thus, the operation of the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R stops the rotation of the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R corresponding to the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R.

  When all three stop switches have been operated, the rotation of all three reels is stopped. At this time, when the symbol of the predetermined winning combination determined by the combination lottery means 103 stops at a predetermined position on the winning line in the middle stage of the display window 11 that has become valid, a winning is awarded, and the number of medals according to the winning mode Is credited or paid out from the medal payout opening 39, and one game is completed. In addition, instead of paying out medals or along with paying out medals, a predetermined profit may be given to the player.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8, as a combination, a special combination (bonus: BB, RB), a small combination (middle bell, one-piece combination 1-12, middle cherry), a replay combination (replays 1-8) Is preset. In the present embodiment, as the result of lottery drawing, different combinations (“middle bell”, “one-piece combination 1” to “one-piece combination 12”, “replay 1” to “replay 8”) are arranged according to the operation mode. There is a possibility of winning a potential duplicate win (winning group: left bell, middle bell, right bell, replay). Then, the role lottery results of the role lottery means 103 include special role winning (bonus winning), small role winning, re-game winning (replay winning), and loss.

  In addition, the prizes include special prizes (bonus prizes) related to transition to special games (bonus games), small prizes related to medal payouts, and re-game prizes related to execution of replays (replays) ( Replay winning).

  Then, for example, if three symbols of each reel 13L, 13M, 13R are arranged on the winning line in each display mode related to the roles “BB” and “RB” in FIG. Game) is executed.

  In addition, as a special combination, a special combination of a well-known type such as CT (challenge time) or SB (single bonus) may be provided as a special combination different from BB or RB.

  In this embodiment, there is no medal payout due to the special role winning (the specified payout number for the special role is 0), and the game is shifted to the bonus game after the game in which the winning mode related to the special role is established. Alternatively, a predetermined payout number (for example, 10) may be set for the special combination, and the bonus game may be started after paying out medals.

  Further, for example, the symbols of the reels 13L, 13M, and 13R are displayed in the middle of the display window 11 in the display modes related to the roles “middle bell”, “one-piece role 1” to “one-piece role 12”, and “middle cherry” in FIG. When three pieces are arranged on the winning line, a small role winning is achieved, and the number of medals shown in the “paidout number” column is paid out.

  Further, in FIG. 8, “any” used as a display mode related to winning of the winning combination “middle stage cherries” may be any symbol provided on the middle reel 13M and the right reel 13R arranged on the winning line. It means that.

  In addition, when three symbols on each of the reels 13L, 13M, and 13R are arranged on the winning line in the display modes related to the roles “Replay 1” to “Replay 8” in FIG. The game can be played again under the same conditions as the previous game without throwing it in.

  By the way, in this embodiment, it is comprised so that a plurality of winning combinations can be won simultaneously by the winning lottery means 103. That is, as shown in FIG. 9, a winning combination group (combination lottery result) composed of a plurality of combinations is formed, and whether or not each winning combination group has been won is selected by the combination lottery means 103. Among the winning group, the winning group “left bell”, “middle bell”, “right bell” (hereinafter, the winning group “left bell”, “middle bell”, “right bell” are collectively referred to as “bell group”) Each of the winning group “left bell”, “middle bell”, and “right bell” may be referred to as “specific set winning”) includes a plurality of winning combinations. Specifically, the winning role group “left bell” is composed of “middle bell”, “one piece role 1” to “one piece role 4”, and the winning role group “middle bell” includes “middle bell” and “one”. The winning combination group “right bell” is composed of “middle bell”, “single portion 9” to “single portion 12”.

  Therefore, if the winning lottery means 103 described later determines that the winning group “left bell” has been won, it means that the “middle bell”, “single hand 1” to “single hand 4” are simultaneously won. If it is decided that the winning group “Middle Bell” has been won, it means that “Middle Bell”, “One Piece 5” to “One Piece 8” will be won at the same time. If it is determined that the player has won, it means that “middle bell”, “single piece 9” to “single piece 12” are won simultaneously.

  In the present embodiment, the operating modes (push order) of the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R that are advantageous to the player are set in advance for each of the winning combination groups “left bell”, “middle bell”, and “right bell”. As shown in the “Remarks” column of FIG. 9, even if the combination lottery result (winning combination group) by the combination lottery means 103 is the same, the player sets each stop switch 21L, 21M, 21R. The stop control means 106 is configured to stop and control the reels 13L, 13M, and 13R so that the winning mode (display mode) varies depending on the order of operation.

  In other words, by winning one of the winning combination groups “left bell”, “middle bell”, and “right bell” shown in FIG. 9, each of the stop switches 21L, 21M, Corresponding to the operation sequence of 21R, the stop control means 106 is configured such that among the winning combinations, the combination for preferentially aligning the symbols related to winning on the winning line is different.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 9, for example, when the winning lottery result by the winning lottery means 103 is winning the winning combination group “left bell”, the operation mode determining means 100a first causes the left stop switch 21L. If it is determined that the operation is performed, the symbol “Bell”, which is the display mode corresponding to the winning combination “middle bell” that is most advantageous to the player, is displayed in a state where the symbols are aligned on the winning line. The reels 13L, 13M, and 13R are controlled to be stopped by the stop control means 106.

  On the other hand, when the operation mode determination means 100a determines that the left stop switch 21L has not been operated for the first time, the symbol “Bell” corresponding to the winning combination “middle bell” is aligned on the winning line. The symbol is not displayed in the state. That is, it is determined by the operation mode determination means 100a that the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R are operated in a predetermined operation order corresponding to the winning combination group (“left bell”, “middle bell”, “right bell”). Unless it is done, the symbol is not displayed in the display mode corresponding to the winning combination that is most advantageous to the players included in the winning combination group.

  By the way, a special game (bonus game) is a game in which the winning probability of a small role is set higher than that in a normal game, and it is easy to receive payout of game medals and is advantageous to the player compared to a normal game. There is a game in which a player can win more medals. When the special game state “RB” in FIG. 8 is won to shift to the special game state, the regular bonus game is executed.

  In the regular bonus game, the lottery table 671 that defines the winning probability of the lottery process by the role lottery means 103 is selected from the normal game lottery table selected in the normal game, and the winning probability of the lottery process by the role lottery means 103 is that of the normal game. By switching to the special game lottery table defined with a higher probability than the case, the winning probability of the small role is set to be higher than in the normal game. As a result, the special game is a game that is more advantageous to the player than the normal game. Then, after shifting to the regular bonus game, when a predetermined number of times, for example, seven games are performed, the regular bonus game is terminated and the normal game is shifted to.

  Also, when the special game state is entered by winning the special role “BB” in FIG. 8, the big bonus game is executed. In the big bonus game, the regular bonus game described above is continuously executed. After the transition to the big bonus game, the big bonus game is terminated when a predetermined number of medals are paid out. That is, in the present embodiment, the big bonus game is set so that when the number of medals paid out in the big bonus game reaches a predetermined upper limit number, the special game (big bonus game) is terminated and the normal game is started. ing.

  When the result lottery result of the role lottery means 103 is a special role winning (BB, RB), the symbol stop control based on the special role winning is performed. At this time, the symbol arrangement of the special role winning mode is allocated. Otherwise, the game state is shifted to the gaming state during internal winning, and the special winning combination is carried over until the symbol arrangement of the winning mode for the special winning is allocated.

  On the other hand, the small role winning is not carried over to the next game unless the symbol arrangement of the winning combination of the small role is assigned in the game in which the winning combination lottery result is the small role winning. In the case of replay winning, the symbols related to any one of “Replay 1” to “Replay 8” are always on the winning line regardless of the timing of each stop switch 21L, 21M, 21R. Since the symbols are arranged on the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R as described above, the player is always awarded a re-game.

  By the way, in the case of winning one of the winning group “left bell”, “middle bell”, and “right bell”, the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R are operated at any timing, as in the case of the symbol related to replay. However, the left, middle and right reels 13L and 13M so that the symbols (“Bell”, “R1” and “R2”) related to the winning group “left bell”, “middle bell” and “right bell” are always aligned on the winning line. , 13R symbols are arranged, so that the player always wins one of “middle bell”, “single piece 1” to “single piece 12”. That is, if one of the winning combination groups “left bell”, “middle bell”, and “right bell” is won, and each stop switch 21L, 21M, 21R is operated, which stop switch 21L, 21M, 21R is selected Even if operated at such timing, the reels 13L, 13M, 13R are controlled to be stopped by the stop control means 106 so that the symbols (see FIG. 8) related to the winnings associated with each operation mode are aligned on the winning line. The

  In the present embodiment, an AT game is executed in the AT (assist time) period from the game next to the game that won the “middle cherry”. In AT games, when one of the “left bell”, “middle bell”, and “right bell” is won, the operation mode corresponding to the type of the winning combination group (specific set winning) (any stop switch is operated first) To the player). Then, after shifting to the AT period, the AT period ends when a predetermined number of times, for example, 20 AT games are performed.

(2) Setting control means 101
The setting control means 101 in FIG. 7 sets setting values (setting 1 to setting 6). This set value is for selecting a lottery table 671 selected by the table selection means 102 to be described later, and each of the set values is associated with each of a plurality of lottery tables 671 stored in the ROM 67. ing. Then, the setting control unit 101 determines the on / off state of a change process start switch (not shown) when the power is turned on, and starts a predetermined setting change process when the power is turned on with the change process start switch being on. .

  In the present embodiment, the winning probabilities in the normal game lottery are set in a plurality of stages that are distinguished by a plurality of types of setting values (here, six types). A lottery table 671 (normally) Game lottery table). When the setting change process is started, the manager of the pachinko hall where the slot machine 1 is installed can change the setting value.

(3) Table selection means 102
The table selection means 102 in FIG. 7 is a type of game controlled by the game control means 100 on the main control board 63 (a normal game, an internal winning game, a special game, etc.), and a setting value set by the setting control means 101 ( One lottery table is selected from a plurality of lottery tables 671 based on setting 1 to setting 6). That is, for example, in a normal game, the table selection means 102 selects a lottery table 671 (normal game lottery table) as a lottery table according to the set value (setting 1 to setting 6) of the winning probability.

(4) Role lottery means 103
The combination lottery means 103 in FIG. 7 selects any one of a plurality of combination lottery results including a specific set winning and a loss set in advance as a combination lottery result in the current game by the random number and table selection means 102. The lottery table using the lottery table 671 is selected and determined. Here, in each lottery table 671, a correspondence relationship between the random number value and each lottery result is defined. Specifically, for example, each lottery table 671 includes a random number generated by the random number generator 103a described later. Data indicating an area with which each result lottery result is associated in the entire range is stored.

  This role lottery means 103 has a plurality of specific set winnings each consisting of a plurality of roles (a winning group “left bell”, “middle bell” consisting of “middle bell 1”, “single role 1” to “single role 4”. The winning group “Right Bell”, consisting of “Middle Bell”, “Middle Bell”, “One Piece 9” to “Twelve Role 12”. ), Any of a plurality of lottery results including a plurality of specific set winnings, each of which has an operation mode (which stop switch should be operated first) which is advantageous to the player. A lottery is executed to determine whether or not the player has won.

a) Random number generation means 103a
The random number generation means 103a in FIG. 7 generates a random number for lottery within a predetermined random value range. The random number generation means 103a can be constituted by, for example, an oscillation circuit and a counter circuit that counts clock signals generated by the oscillation circuit (so-called hard random number). Note that the random number generation means 103a can be configured by, for example, means for generating a random number by an average sampling method, or means for generating a random number by adding prime numbers. These means can be configured, for example, by causing the main CPU 61 to execute a predetermined program (so-called soft random number). Note that both hard random numbers and soft random numbers may be provided, and random numbers may be generated in a software manner based on the results.

b) Random number extraction means 103b
The random number extraction unit 103b in FIG. 7 extracts the random value generated by the random number generation unit 103a, and extracts the random value generated by the random number generation unit 103a under a predetermined condition. The random number extraction means 103b extracts a random value used for the lottery process of the combination lottery means 103 in the current game at the timing when the start switch 19 is operated.

  Further, since the random number generation means 103a is configured by a counter circuit or the like, the numerical value generated by the random number generation means 103a is not strictly a random number. However, since the timing at which the start switch 19 is operated is considered to be random, the numerical value extracted by the random number extraction means 103b can be substantially handled as a random number.

c) Lottery result determining means 103c
The lottery result determination unit 103c in FIG. 7 determines the combination lottery result in the current game based on the random number extracted by the random number extraction unit 103b in the current game and the game state in the current game. The lottery result determination unit 103c refers to the lottery table 671 corresponding to the current gaming state selected by the table selection unit 102, and the random number value extracted by the random number extraction unit 103b is defined by the lottery table 671. By determining which of the random value areas corresponding to each combination lottery result belongs to, the combination lottery result in the current game is determined.

(5) Reel detecting means 105
The reel detection means 105 in FIG. 7 sends detection signals from the left / middle / right position sensors 55L, 55M, and 55R to the reel motors 14L, 14M, and 14R that drive the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R. Based on the number of supplied pulses, the rotational positions of the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R are detected. The reel detection means 105 corresponds to a symbol positioned at a predetermined reference position (for example, the middle stage of the display window 11 in this embodiment) while the left, middle, and right reels 13L, 13M, and 13R are rotating and stopped. Each frame number is detected.

(6) Stop control means 106
The stop control means 106 in FIG. 7 performs stop control of each reel 13L, 13M, 13R using the stop table 672 based on the operation of each stop switch 21L, 21M, 21R, and is variable by each reel 13L, 13M, 13R. Each displayed symbol is stopped in a display mode corresponding to the winning lottery result of the winning lottery means 103. This stop control means 106 performs stop control of each reel 13L, 13M, 13R for each game based on the combination lottery result determined by the lottery result determination means 103c and the operation mode of each stop switch 21L, 21M, 21R. .

  In addition, as described in the “Remarks” column in FIG. 9, if “Bell Group” (one of the winning group “Left Bell”, “Center Bell” or “Right Bell”) is won, Depending on the stop switch to be operated, the matching combination is set differently. In addition, depending on the type of “bell group”, an advantageous operation mode varies.

  As the stop table 672 for determining the stop positions of the reels 13L, 13M, and 13R, a plurality of tables are set corresponding to each of the winning lottery results of the winning lottery means 103. The stop table 672 is a table in which the number of sliding frames of each reel 13L, 13M, 13R is determined in advance according to the rotational position of the reels 13L, 13M, 13R when the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R are operated. The reels 13L, 13M, and 13R are formed so that the number of sliding frames is different corresponding to the stop operation order of the corresponding stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R.

  If the winning lottery result of the winning lottery means 103 is a win for any of the winning combinations, the stop control means 106 and the stop table 672 selected based on the winning lottery result and the stop switches 21L, 21M, From the rotational position of each reel 13L, 13M, 13R when 21R is operated, the number of sliding frames of each reel 13L, 13M, 13R is determined so as to win the winning combination, and each reel 13L, 13M, 13R is determined. Perform stop control. On the other hand, if the winning lottery result by the winning lottery means 103 is lost, the stop control means 106 has operated the stop table 672 selected based on the lost winning lottery result and the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R. From the rotational position of each reel 13L, 13M, 13R, the number of sliding symbols of each reel 13L, 13M, 13R is determined so as not to win any of a plurality of roles, and each reel 13L, 13M, 13R Perform stop control.

  By the way, there is an upper limit on the number of sliding frames, and the stop control means 106 is operated if the respective stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R are not operated at the timing when the respective reels 13L, 13M, 13R are at predetermined rotational positions. Even if the winning lottery result by the winning lottery means 103 is a win for any of the winning combinations, the reels 13L, 13L, 13M and 13R cannot be controlled to stop. In other words, the stop control means 106 operates the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R at the timings at which the reels 13L, 13M, and 13R are at predetermined rotational positions based on the result lottery result of the role lottery means 103. On this condition, the reels 13L, 13M, and 13R are controlled to stop so that the symbols displayed on the display window 11 are stopped and displayed in a winning manner corresponding to the winning combination.

(7) Notification determining means 107
The notification determining means 107 in FIG. 7 determines whether to notify the operation mode of the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R that is advantageous to the player. For example, even if the role lottery result is “right bell”, if the player cannot know that fact, the player does not always operate the right stop switch 21R first, and the “middle bell” is displayed. It is not always possible to align. On the other hand, in an AT game, when the result lottery result becomes “right bell”, the fact is notified, and the player is prompted to operate the right stop switch 21R first, thereby increasing the chance that the player receives a payout. It becomes possible.

  Here, it is determined that the notification is determined by the notification determination means 107 when the “medium stage cherry”, which is a transition to an AT permissible state in which AT games can be drawn, is won, and the AT stored in the flag storage means 651 is stored. The state of the flag during the period is set to ON. Further, the state of the flag during the AT period stored in the flag storage unit 651 is set to OFF when a predetermined number of AT games are executed. Also, any of the bits forming the flag storage unit 651 is assigned to the flag during the AT period, and the state of the flag during the AT period is stored in the flag storage unit 651 by setting the bit to ON or OFF. can do.

  In the AT game, when one of the winning group “left bell”, “middle bell”, and “right bell” is won, an operation mode (operation order) advantageous to the player set in advance in each winning group is set. ) Is notified to the player. In addition, after shifting to the AT period, the AT period ends when a predetermined number of times, for example, 20 AT games are performed.

  Further, as will be described later, the command creation unit 108 creates a command according to the determination result of the notification determination unit 107. The notification determining means 107 uses the command created by the command creating means 108 as a command that can identify the type of specific set winning (a command that can be used to identify an advantageous operation mode), or a command that cannot identify the type of specific set winning (advantageous) It is also functioning as a command for determining whether or not a command whose operation mode is unknown is determined.

(8) Command creation means 108
The command creation means 108 in FIG. 7 includes data related to the result lottery result in the lottery process by the role lottery means 103, data related to the operation of the operation tool operated by the player such as the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R, the start switch 19, etc. A command for transmitting various data such as these to the sub control board 73 (sub CPU 71) is generated. The command generated by the command creating means 108 is transmitted to the sub control board 73 by the sub control command transmitting means 111 as will be described later.

  The command creation means 108 creates a command including “0” to “8” as a command that can identify the result of the lottery when the lottery by the combination lottery means 103 is executed. As will be described later, the sub control board 73 selects an effect to be executed based on the sent command. In other words, the command creation means 108 creates a command that indicates the content of the effect executed on the sub control board 73.

  Then, when the notification determination unit 107 determines that the operation mode advantageous to the player is not notified, that is, when the flag during the AT period is set to OFF, the command creation unit 108 determines which of the “bell groups”. A command is created that does not include data indicating the type of the winning combination group (“left bell”, “middle bell”, “right bell”) that can be identified as having won the crab but cannot identify the corresponding winning group. Further, when it is determined by the notification determining means 107 that an operation mode advantageous to the player is notified, that is, when the AT period flag is set to ON, the winning combination group (“left bell” “middle bell” is selected. “Right bell”) is included, and a command that can identify the corresponding winning group is created.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 9, when the flag during the AT period is OFF, the command creation means 108 is selected when any of the winning group “left bell”, “middle bell”, or “right bell” is won. Even if it exists, the same command “No. 1” is created so that it is not possible to identify which winning group of the “bell group”. On the other hand, the command creation means 108 selects the command “No. 2” when “left bell” is won when the flag during the AT period is ON, and the command “3” when “medium bell” is won. If “Right Bell” is won, “No. 4” command is created.

  Note that the command creation means 108 creates the same command for other role lottery results, regardless of whether the AT period flag is ON or OFF. For example, if you win “middle cherries”, command “5”, if you win “BB”, command “6”, if you win “RB”, command “7” When “Replay” is won, a command “No. 8” is created. In case of a loss, a command “No. 0” is created.

(9) Symbol determination means 109
The symbol determination means 109 in FIG. 7 has the reels 13L, 13M, and 13R stopped by the stop control means 106 being stopped based on the respective rotational positions of the reels 13L, 13M, and 13R detected by the reel detection means 105. It is determined whether or not the display mode of each symbol by is a predetermined display mode.

  The symbol determination means 109 determines that a special combination prize is awarded when the symbols are arranged on the winning line in the display modes shown in the combinations “BB” and “RB” in FIG. When the symbols are arranged on the winning line in the display forms shown in “middle stage bell”, “one piece combination 1” to “one piece combination 12”, and “middle stage cherry” in FIG. When the symbols are aligned on the winning line in the display modes shown in “Replay 1” to “Replay 8” in FIG.

(10) Dispensing control means 110
The payout control means 110 in FIG. 7 gives a predetermined profit to the player based on the determination result by the symbol determination means 109. If the symbol determining unit 109 determines that the winning combination is one of a plurality of winning combinations, the payout control unit 110 determines that the number of credit medals stored is an upper limit value (this embodiment). After reaching 50, for example, the hopper unit 43 is operated to pay out medals by the payout number corresponding to the winning combination. Further, the payout control means 110 increases the credit medals by the payout number instead of the operation of the hopper unit 43 as the medal payout until the number of stored credit medals reaches the upper limit value.

  By the way, when it is determined by the symbol determination means 109 that the payout control means 110 has won the re-gamer, the payout line for the next game is validated as if a predetermined number (three) of medals have been inserted. To do.

(11) Sub-control command transmission unit 111
The sub-control command transmission unit 111 in FIG. 7 uses a command including various data created by the command creation unit 108 from the main control board 63 (main CPU 61) to the sub-control board 73 (sub CPU 71) as predetermined information. Send by traffic. The sub-control command transmission means 111 is created by the command creation means 108 and set by the setting control means 101, gaming states such as a normal gaming state and a special gaming state, a winning lottery result of the winning lottery means 103, A command including data representing the state of the slot machine 1 such as a symbol determination result by the symbol determination means 109, a rotation / stop state of each reel 13L, 13M, 13R, a medal payout state by the payout control means 110, etc. is sent to the sub-control board 73. Send.

  Further, the sub control command transmission means 111 transmits a command created by the command creation means 108 including data indicating the detection state of the inserted medal by the insertion sensor 53, the operation state of the bet switch 15 and the maximum bet switch 17, and the like. 73. The sub-control command transmission unit 111 sub-controls the command created by the command creation unit 108 including data indicating that various switches such as the start switch 19 and the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R are operated by the player. Transmit to the board 73.

(12) Game history monitoring means 112
The game history monitoring means 112 shown in FIG. 7 monitors the game history such as the payout rate of medals. As shown in FIG. 4, the game history monitoring means 112 is stored in an area of 4.35 KB starting at address 1E50H in the ROM 67. The program is implemented by being executed by the main CPU 61. Also, as shown in FIG. 4, various data used for monitoring the medal payout rate (medal payout number / medal insertion number (%)) and the ratio of the items by the game history monitoring unit 112 are RWM65. Are stored in the 512B area starting from the address F200H. The game history monitoring means 112 has the following functions.

  The game number counter 652 of the RWM 65 is configured by an area preset in the RWM 65 and stores the number of games. The initial number of games, which is the initial value of the game number counter 652, is set to zero. The game number counter 652 counts the number of games up to a preset number of games M (for example, M = 400), and then is initialized again to the initial value of 0, and then the number of games up to the number of games M. Is configured to count. That is, after the value stored in the game number counter 652 is updated from 0 to 399, the number of games is counted again from 0 to 399.

  7 stores the number of medals inserted and paid out in each game of a preset number of games M (= 400). FIG. As shown, it is formed by a data array composed of 400 data preset in the RWM 65. Each data has a capacity of 1B, and the input / payout number storage means 653 has a capacity of 400B (= 1B × 400). Note that the input / payout number storage means 653 of the RWM 65 is stored and controlled by the main CPU 61.

  Furthermore, the bit structure of each of the 400 pieces of data is as shown in FIG. 10B, and the number of medals paid out in each game is stored in the lowest 0th bit (bit0) to 3rd bit (bit3). The number of inserted medals in each game is stored in the fourth bit (bit 4) and the fifth bit (bit 5). Further, the most significant seventh bit (bit 7) of each data storage area is any one of “Replay 1” to “Replay 8” (hereinafter sometimes simply referred to as “Replay”) shown in FIG. It is set to ON when winning a crab, and set to OFF when not winning.

  As shown in FIG. 13, a specific reel becomes uncontrolled under a predetermined condition, and has a CT (challenge time) function capable of aiming and aligning small roles etc. as shown in FIG. 7. In the RWM 65 insertion / payout number storage means 653, the predetermined number of games as a predetermined aggregation standard is set to 400 games and the set number of games as a set aggregation reference is set to 6000 games. In addition to memorizing the success / failure of a gamer's winning, as details of the number of medals to be paid out, the number of payouts by small role winning, the number of payouts by single bonus (SB) winning, the number of paying out by CT winning, the number of payouts by RB winning, Although not shown in FIG. 13, it is assumed that the number of games in an AT-permitted state, the number of games in an AT-unpermitted state, and the number of AT-allowed initial hits are stored as game information. To the payout NG information when there is a payout abnormal, instead of storing the contents of FIG. 10, may be stored. Note that the input / payout number storage means 653 of the RWM 65 is stored and controlled by the main CPU 61. However, in the above embodiment, since the SB or CT lottery is not performed, the storage area for storing the payout number due to the SB prize or the payout number due to the CT prize is not used. It may be used in a slot machine that performs the above.

  That is, over the medium term of all 6000 games, the number of short-term medals inserted, the number of medals paid out, the game information on the success or failure of the re-gamer's winning, and the details of the number of medals paid out are as follows: The number of payouts, the number of payouts due to CT winning, the game information of the number of payouts due to RB winning, and the ball NG information are stored in the input / payout number storage means 653 of the RWM 65, and the payout rate in the medium term (6000 games), the medium term The medium-term feature ratio divided by the total medal payout number divided by the total medal payout number for the CT, SB, and RB winnings, and the medium-term continuous feature ratio divided by the total medal payout number for the medium term RB winning Calculation is performed by the bead rate calculating means 112c.

  At this time, the storage area of the first to fifteenth periods (P1 to P15) of the input / payout number storage means 653 of the RWM 65 functions as a ring buffer for storing data for fifteen periods, and the first to fifteenth periods (P1 to P1). After all the storage area of P15) is filled, the latest data is overwritten and stored in the storage area where the earliest data is stored.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 13, the 6000 game, which is the number of games in the middle period, is divided into 15 short periods of every 400 games, the 1st to 400th games are divided into the first period (P1), and the 401st to 800th games are divided into the second period. As the period (P2), if the 5601-6000 games are the 15th period (P15) in the same manner, the number of games by the game number counter such as the game number counter 652 in FIG. As the storage area, the 2B (byte) each for the first period (P1) to the 15th period (P15) and the 3B area for the total amount (PS) of the 1st to 15th periods (P1 to P15) are stored. Formed in the means 653, each of the 2B and 1st to 15th periods (P1 to P1) for the first period (P1) to the fifteenth period (P15) as the storage area for the number of winning prizes of the re-gamer 15), a 3B area is formed in the insertion / payout number storage means 653 for the total amount (PS), and the medal insertion number storage area is 2B for each of the first period (P1) to the fifteenth period (P15). An area of 3B is formed in the input / payout number storage means 653 for the total amount (PS) of the 1st to 15th periods, and the first period (P1) through 15th are used as storage areas for the total number of medal payout numbers (total medal payout number). An area of 2B for each period (P15) and a 3B area for the total amount (PS) of the 1st to 15th periods are formed in the input / payout number storage means 653, and the first period is used as a storage area for the number of medals to be paid out by small role winning. (P1) thru 15th period (P15) for each 2B and 1st to 15th period total (PS) 3B area and total cumulative total after installation An area 3B is formed on the charged-payout number storing unit 653 RWM65.

  Further, as the storage area for the number of medals to be paid out due to the SB winning, 2B for each of the first period (P1) to 15th period (P15) and 3B for the total amount (PS) of the 1st to 15th periods (P1 to P15) Is formed in the insertion / payout number storage means 653, and 2B and 1st to 15th periods (P1 to P15) for each of the first period (P1) to the fifteenth period (P15) as storage areas for the number of medal payouts due to the CT winning a prize. An area of 3B is formed in the insertion / payout number storage means 653 for the total amount (PS), and 2B for each of the first period (P1) to the fifteenth period (P15) as a storage area for the number of medals paid out by the RB winning For the total amount (PS) of the 1st to 15th periods (P1 to P15), the 3B area and the total accumulated 3B area, which is the total after the installation, are entered and withdrawn. Formed to the number storage unit 653. Further, although not shown in FIG. 13, the number of games in the AT permitted state, the number of games in the AT non-permitted state, and the number of AT permitted initial hits are also for each of the first period (P1) to the fifteenth period (P15). For each 2B and the first to fifteenth periods (P1 to P15), the 3B area and the total accumulated 3B area after the installation are formed in the input / payout number storage means 653. . And, as a storage area for the outgoing NG information due to payout abnormality, 1 bit for each of the first period (P1) to 15th period (P15) and 1 bit for the total amount (PS) of 1 to 15 periods (P1 to P15) In addition, a total accumulated 1-bit area, which is the total after installation, is formed in the input / output number storage means 653.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 13, the medium term role obtained by dividing the storage area for the above-mentioned medium term (for 6000 games) payout rate (%), and the number of items paid out according to the CT, SB, and RB winnings in the medium term divided by the total number of medal payouts. As the storage area for the physical ratio, the storage area for the continuous medium ratio by dividing the number of consecutive physical component payouts by the RB winning in the medium term by the total number of medal payouts, each 1B (byte) area is stored in the input / payout number storage means 653 Form. Here, the total capacity of these storage areas occupied by the input / output number storage means 653 is 284 B (bytes), and each of the storage areas described above is formed by using 512 B unused areas starting at the address F200H of the RWM 65. can do.

  Similarly, using the total accumulated data since installation, the game ratio counter corresponds to the ratio of bonuses after installation, the ratio of consecutive bonuses after installation, and the total number of AT-permitted games after installation. The AT allowable state ratio divided by the total number of games, which is the total after installation, and the AT allowable state winning probability obtained by dividing the AT allowable initial hit count by the number of non-AT allowable games are calculated and stored in the storage area. However, it does not exceed the 512B capacity (512B of the appearance history data area) starting from the address F200H of the RWM 65. These storage areas are not shown.

  Then, as an example of numerical values stored in each storage area of the input / pay-out number storage means 653, for example, when a 5950 game is executed, numerical values as shown in FIG. 14 are stored. In FIG. 14 to FIG. 21, the number of games in an AT-permitted state, the number of games in a non-AT-permitted state, an AT-permitted state ratio, the number of AT-permitted initial hits, an accessory ratio after installation, a continuous-object ratio after installation, Data of the AT permissible state winning probability is omitted.

a) Counter updating means 112a
The counter updating means 112a in FIG. 7 updates the stored value of the game number counter 652 for each game, and this counter updating means 112a is executed after the game is ended by stopping each reel 13L, 13M, 13R. Before the next game starts, the stored value of the game number counter 652 is incremented by one. Further, the counter updating means 112a determines whether or not the stored value of the game number counter 652 is equal to the set game number M (= 400) which is the set aggregation reference, and the stored value of the game number counter 652 is the set game number M. If they are equal, the stored value of the game number counter 652 is cleared to 0 which is an initial value. Therefore, the stored value of the game number counter 652 is circulated and updated in the range of the set game number M (= 400) from 0 to (M−1) by the counter updating unit 112a. The initial value of the stored value of the game number counter 652 is set to the set game number M, and the stored value of the game number counter 652 is decremented by 1 after the game is over and before the start of the next game. You may make it count the number of games by.

b) History update means 112b
The history update unit 112b in FIG. 7 stores the data storage area of the input / output number storage unit 653 corresponding to the stored value of the game number counter 652 for each game when the predetermined number of games as the predetermined totaling standard is one game. In the predetermined bits, the number of inserted medals and the number of paid out medals in the game are stored, and whether or not “Replay” has been won in the game is set. Here, since the stored value of the game number counter 652 is circulated and updated within the range of the set game number M from 0 to (M−1), the input / payout number storage means 653 stores data for 400 games. Functions as a ring buffer. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 11, when the input / payout number storage means 653 stores data from the first game to the 400th game, when the game (game) of the 401st game is completed, the earliest The data of the 401th game is overwritten in the data storage area storing the data of the 1st game, which is a game, whereby the input / payout number storage means 653 discards the data of the 1st game and simultaneously stores the data of the 401st game. Will be memorized anew.

  By the way, the storage operation of the insertion / payout number storage means 653 will be specifically described. As shown in FIG. 12A, three medals are inserted into the storage area of each data of the first game, and 0 The medal is paid out, and data indicating that three medals are inserted and 15 medals are paid out is stored in the storage area of each data of the second game. In addition, in the storage area of each data of the 398th game, 3 medals are inserted, 8 medals are paid out, and it indicates that “Replay” is not won, and the 399th game data storage area 3 stores data indicating that three medals have been inserted, zero medals have been paid out, and "Replay" has been won. In the storage area of each data of the 400th game, since “Replay” was won in the previous game, 0 medals were inserted, 0 medals were paid out, and “Replay” was awarded. Data indicating that the data is being stored is stored.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 12B, when the game of the 401st game is completed, the data of the 1st game is discarded and at the same time the data of the 401st game is stored in the input / payout number storage means 653. . In the storage area of each data of the 401th game, since “Replay” was won in the previous game, 0 medals were inserted, 0 medals were paid out, and “Replay” was awarded. Data indicating that it has not been stored. Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 12C, when the game of the 402th game is finished, the data of the second game is discarded and at the same time the data of the 402th game is stored in the input / payout number storage means 653. . In the data storage area of the 402th game, since “Replay” was not won in the previous game, three medals are inserted, one medal is paid out, and “Replay” is awarded. In the same way, the latest data is overwritten on the first stored data and stored.

  When the contents of FIG. 13 are stored, the history updating unit 112b adds the predetermined number of games, which is a predetermined totaling criterion, to 400 games and the set totaling criterion in the input / output number storage unit 653 of the RWM 65 shown in FIG. Given a set game number M of 6000, in addition to memorizing the number of medals inserted for 400 games, the number of medals to be paid out, and the success / failure of the re-gamer, the details of the number of medals to be paid out include the number of medals to be paid out and the SB prize. The number of payouts by CT, the number of payouts by CT winning, the number of payouts by RB winning, and the number of AT-permitted games, the number of non-AT-permitted games, and the number of AT-permitted initial hits are stored as game information and the above data When there is calculation data calculated using, and the payout abnormality is present, the outgoing ball NG information is stored.

  Further, (5) “AT allowable state ratio (cumulative since installation)” is an abbreviation “bc” indicating “AT allowable state ratio (cumulative since installation)” in the upper two digits of the game history display means 69. ”Is displayed, and the lower two digits (%) of the proportion (percentage) of the games that have been in the AT-permitted state in the cumulative game after installation are displayed in the lower two digits segment of the game history display means 69. In (6) “AT Allowable State Winning Probability”, the abbreviation “d” indicating “AT Allowable State Winning Probability” is displayed in the upper two-digit segment of the game history display means 69, and the lower rank of the game history display means 69. The value obtained by dividing the total number of AT permissible initial hits in the cumulative game after installation in the 3-digit segment by the cumulative game in the AT non-permitted state (3 digits in the denominator with the numerator being 1, 999 for 1/1000 Display) is displayed.

  (1) “Consecutive character ratio (last 6000 games)”, (2) “Character ratio (last 6000 games)”, (3) “Continuous character ratio (cumulative since installation)”, (4 ) “Property ratio (cumulative since installation)”, (5) “AT allowable state ratio (cumulative since installation)”, (6) “AT allowable state winning probability” are displayed in a predetermined order. . Specifically, (1) “Continuous character ratio (last 6000 games)” is displayed for a certain period, and (2) “Character ratio (most recent 6000 games)” is displayed for a certain period. Next, (3) “Consecutive character ratio (cumulative since installation)” is displayed for a certain period, and (4) “Characteristics ratio (cumulative since installation)” is displayed for a certain period. The Subsequently, (5) “AT allowable state ratio (cumulative since installation)” is displayed for a certain period, and (6) “AT allowable state winning probability” is displayed for a certain period.

  Then, these displays (1) to (6) are sequentially repeated at regular intervals. At this time, for example, when the game has not reached 6000 games, in (1) and (2), the upper two-digit segment is displayed blinking. Further, for example, when the game has not reached 175000 games, the upper 2 digit segments are blinked in (3) to (5), and the upper 1 digit segment is blinked in (6).

  “Combination ratio” refers to the ratio of medals that are paid out from a gaming machine, such as medals that are paid out in the state that the role is in operation, and “continuous bonus ratio” is paid out from a gaming machine. This is the ratio of medals to be paid out in the RB winning at the time of operation of the accessory continuous operation device.

d) A payout rate determining means 112d
7 is set to an upper limit value (in this embodiment, for example, 300% based on a rule) in which the yield rate (%) calculated by the yield rate calculation unit 112c is set in advance. ) Is exceeded. If the output rate determining means 112d determines that the output rate exceeds the upper limit value, the game history monitoring means 112 causes the output rate (%) to be set to the upper limit value using, for example, the lower ramp portions 37L and 37R. The notification that it is over is made.

(13) Display control means 120
The display control unit 120 in FIG. 7 causes the game history display unit 69 to display predetermined data among a plurality of types of game history data, and sets a plurality of types of display targets of the game history display unit 69 at regular intervals. The game history display means 69 causes a display for specifying a plurality of game history data by sequentially changing to another data of the game history data.

(14) Credit display control means 130
The credit display control means 130 in FIG. 7 displays the number of stored medals on the credit display 24.

(15) Cancel control means 140
For example, when the number of stored medals reaches the maximum stored number or during a game, the cancel control unit 140 in FIG. 7 does not drive the solenoid, so the rail portion of the medal canceller 48 does not operate, and the medal slot 25 The medals inserted in the are discharged to the medal payout opening 39 regardless of whether the medals are regular or irregular. In cases other than the above, the solenoid is driven to operate the rail portion of the medal canceller 48, so that whether or not the medal inserted into the medal insertion slot 25 is genuine is selected and only the regular medal is obtained. Guided to the hopper unit 43.

(Sub control board)
Next, the configuration of the sub control board 73 will be described in detail. The sub control board 73 receives a command transmitted from the main control board 63 and performs effects according to the operation and state of the main control board 63. As shown in FIG. 7, the sub control board 73 has various functions realized by executing a program stored in the memory 75 and various functions realized by controlling hardware. Yes.

(1) Sub-control command receiving means 201
The sub-control command receiving unit 201 in FIG. 7 receives a command including various data transmitted by the sub-control command transmitting unit 111 of the main control board 63 (main CPU 61) as predetermined information. The sub-control command receiving unit 201 receives a command transmitted from the main control board 63 and, when receiving the command, notifies each function provided in the sub-control board 73 according to the type of the command.

(2) Production content determination means 202
The effect content determination unit 202 in FIG. 7 is for determining the content of the effect according to the command received by the sub-control command receiving unit 201. Specifically, a moving image to be displayed on the liquid crystal display 27 is determined from an effect pattern set in advance corresponding to the progress of the game, the result of the role lottery means 103, or the like from the speakers 31L and 31R. An effect such as determining the music and sound to be played, and flashing the light sources of the upper lamp unit 33 and the lower lamp units 37L and 37R all at once or individually is determined.

  If the received command corresponds to the command during the AT period and the type of the winning combination group (bell group) that has been won can be identified, the production content determination unit 202 can identify the player corresponding to the type of the winning group. The contents of the effect are determined so that an effect that does not know the operation mode advantageous to the player is executed unless the received command corresponds to the command during the AT period. For example, if the “No. 1” command shown in FIG. 9 is received according to the result of lottery, it is not during the AT period, so it can be understood that one of the winning groups of “Bell Group” has been won. Select one production from a group of productions that do not know whether "Left bell", "Middle bell", or "Right bell" was won. In addition, when the “No. 2” command shown in FIG. 9 is received, one of the effects indicating that “Left Bell” has been won or the effect of prompting the user to operate the left stop switch 21L first is selected. Select. When the “No. 3” and “No. 4” commands shown in FIG. 9 are received, the effect contents are determined in the same manner.

  In addition, when the contents-deciding means 202 receives the commands “No. 5” to “No. 8” shown in FIG. Select the production. Further, when the “0” command is received, similarly, one effect is selected from the effect group corresponding to the loss so as not to impair the player's expectation.

  As the contents of the effects, for example, the operation content determining means 202 displays the operation order of the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R on the liquid crystal display 27, or the operation order of the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R by the speakers 31L, 31R. Is notified by voice, the operation order of each stop switch 21L, 21M, 21R is notified by blinking the lamps provided in each stop switch 21L, 21M, 21R in a predetermined order, or each reel 13L, 13M. , 13R blinks in a predetermined order, and there is an effect such as notifying the operation order of the stop switches 21L, 21M, 21R.

  Then, the production content determination unit 202 transmits a signal including data regarding the decided production content to the display control unit 203 and the audio control unit 204 described below.

(3) Display control means 203
The display control unit 203 in FIG. 7 displays a moving image on the liquid crystal display 27 based on the data included in the signal transmitted from the effect content determination unit 202, and displays the upper lamp unit 33 and the lower lamp units 37L and 37R. Perform effects such as flashing light sources all at once or individually.

(4) Voice control means 204
The voice control unit 204 in FIG. 7 executes effects such as playing music from the speakers 31L and 31R and outputting sound based on the data included in the signal transmitted from the effect content determination unit 202.

(Operation)
Next, the operation of the slot machine 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. In the present embodiment, when the “bell group” (any one of “left bell”, “middle bell”, and “right bell”) is won during the AT period (the flag during the AT period is ON), An effect of notifying the operation order of each stop switch 21L, 21M, 21R corresponding to the role group is executed on the sub-control board 73, and each stop switch 21L, 21M, 21R advantageous to the player is executed. The operation order is notified.

  In the following description, the various functions and means described above, and other functions realized by executing various programs by the main CPU 61 of the main control board 63 and the sub CPU 71 of the sub control board 73 (detailed explanation is omitted). This is a process executed by. In addition, since various processes executed in the following process are set to ON (ON) or OFF (OFF), and the process of setting values to various flags is a well-known technique, its details The detailed explanation is omitted.

1. Main Process The main process will be described with reference to FIG.

  When the power of the slot machine 1 is turned on, the state of the RWM 65 provided in the main control board 63 is checked, it is determined whether or not an error has occurred in the memory, various initial settings are performed, and the results of the RWM 65 check If there is no abnormality, it shifts to the normal gaming state. As shown in FIG. 23, it is determined whether or not a prescribed number (three) of medals have been inserted (step S1), and the system waits until a prescribed number of medals are inserted (NO in step S1). On the other hand, if a predetermined number (three) of medals are inserted (YES in step S1), the process waits until the start switch 19 is operated (NO in step S2), and if the start switch 19 is operated (step S2). YES), lottery processing by the role lottery means 103 is executed (step S3).

  In the lottery process by the role lottery means 103, first, the lottery table 671 is selected by the table selection means 102 based on the current game state and the like, and the random number is selected at the timing when the selected lottery table 671 and the start switch 19 are operated. Based on the random number value extracted by the extraction unit 103b, the lottery result determination unit 103c determines the combination lottery result.

  Subsequently, a command for creating information related to the result lottery result by the role lottery means 103 is created by the command creating means 108 to the sub-control board 73. Specifically, first, it is determined whether or not the state of the flag during the AT period stored in the flag storage unit 651 is ON, and if it is determined that the flag during the AT period is OFF, the winning group ( The command creation means 108 creates a command that cannot identify the detailed type (specific set winning). That is, if it is determined that the flag during the AT period is OFF when one of the “bell groups” is won, any of the “left bell”, “middle bell”, and “right bell” Create a “No. 1” command.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the flag during the AT period is ON, the command creating means 108 creates a command that can identify the type of the winning combination group (specific set winning). That is, if it is determined that the flag during the AT period is ON when one of the “bell groups” is won, if the “left bell” is won, the command “number 2” is changed to “middle bell”. If the winning is “No. 3”, the “No. 3” command is created. If the “Right Bell” is winning, the “No. 4” command is created. Note that if the result is a lottery result other than “Bell Group”, a command that can identify the type of the winning combination group is created regardless of whether the AT period flag is ON or OFF. Then, the command created by the command creating unit 108 is transmitted to the sub control board 73 (sub CPU 71) by the sub control command transmitting unit 111.

  Then, after the winning lottery process, as shown in FIG. 23, rotation of the reels 13L, 13M, 13R is started (step S4), and the stop switches 21L, 21L, 13R, 13R corresponding to the rotating reels 13L, 13M, 13R are started. Wait until any one of 21M and 21R is operated (NO in step S5). If any one of the stop switches 21L, 21M and 21R is operated (YES in step S5), the reel rotation by the stop control means 106 is performed. The stop rotation of the reel corresponding to the operated stop switch is stopped (step S6).

  Thereafter, the processes in steps S5 and S6 are repeatedly executed until the rotation of all the reels 13L, 13M, and 13R is stopped (NO in step S7), and if all the reels 13L, 13M, and 13R are stopped ( In step S7, the symbol determination unit 109 determines the symbol (step S8).

  Subsequently, a notification determination process (step S9) is executed, and in the symbol determination process in step S8 of the main process in FIG. 23, for example, it is determined whether or not the symbol determination unit 109 determines that the “middle cherry” is won. Is done.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 23, after the notification determination process, the payout control means 110 executes a medal payout process as necessary (step S10), and a game history monitoring process described in detail later is executed (step S11). ).

2. Game History Monitoring Processing Next, the above-described game history monitoring processing in step S11 will be described with reference to FIG.

  First, as shown in FIG. 24, the stored value of the game number counter 652 is updated by the counter updating unit 112a, and the game information (the number of inserted medals, the number of paid out medals, “ Data regarding whether or not “Replay” has been won is added to the input / payout number storage means 653 (step S21).

  Next, based on the medal insertion number, medal payout number, “Replay” winning data and the like stored in the data storage area of the insertion / payout number storage unit 653 by the payout rate calculation unit 112c, The yield rate obtained by dividing the sum of the total number of medals paid out for the last 400 games by the total number of medals inserted for the total game is calculated and updated (step S22), and the yield rate determination means 112c performs the yield rate. It is determined whether (%) exceeds a predetermined upper limit (300%) (step S23). If the payout rate exceeds the upper limit (YES in step S23), for example, a predetermined display is performed on the lower lamps 37L and 37R by the game history monitoring unit 112, so that the payout rate (%) is exceeded. (Step S24), and the process returns to the main process in FIG. On the other hand, if the payout rate does not exceed the upper limit (NO in step S23), the process returns to the main process in FIG.

  Accordingly, the RWM 65 insertion / payout number storage means 653 has a ring buffer configuration for 400 games (400B), and the set number of games (( Since the game information for more than 400 games) is stored, the game information for each game can always be checked retroactively by the set number of games (400 games) from the last game, and the details of illegal acts can be easily performed Can be verified.

  Further, the number of medals inserted, the number of medals to be paid out, and the success / failure data of the re-gamer for each set game (400 games) are stored in predetermined data storage areas of the input / payout number storage means 653 of the RWM 65. Since each bit is stored, the game information of 400 games can be efficiently stored with a storage capacity of a small number of bytes.

  Also, the payout rate calculating means 112c derives the payout rate from the medal insertion number and medal payout number of the game information by calculation, and the payout rate is within a predetermined area of the RWM65 input / payout number storage means 653. Since the game is stored, it is possible to check the payout rate for each game and to verify the fraud in more detail.

  In the above example, the predetermined number of games, which is the predetermined aggregation standard, is set as one game, and the number of inserted medals, the number of medals paid out for each game, and the success or failure of the re-gamer winning are determined in the RWM 65 insertion / payout number storage means 653. However, the predetermined number of games is two games, for example, and the game information for every two games may be stored. Similarly, the predetermined number of games of three or more games is stored. You may make it memorize | store game information for every. However, it is assumed that the predetermined number of games does not exceed the set number of games such as 400 games, which is the setting total standard. Furthermore, the number of set games is not limited to the above-described 400 games.

  By the way, in the sub control board 73, the command transmitted from the main control board 63 is received by the sub control command receiving means 201, and the notification (effect) content is determined by the effect content determining means 202. Specifically, when the “No. 1” command is received, one effect is selected from the effect group corresponding to the “No. 1” command. When the “No. 2” command is received, one effect is selected from the effect group corresponding to the “No. 2” command. The same applies when other commands are received. In the production groups corresponding to the commands of “No. 2” to “No. 4”, productions for notifying the player of the operation modes of the stop switches 21L, 21M, and 21R advantageous to the player are set. Then, the determined notification (effect) is executed by the display control unit 203 or the audio control unit 204.

3. Game History Display Control Processing Next, game history display control processing by the display control means 120 will be described with reference to FIGS. 25 and 26. FIG. This game history display control process executes the power-on display control process of FIG. 25 when the power is turned on, and executes the display control process of FIG. 26 by a timer interrupt every predetermined time after the power is turned on until the power is turned off. Is done by doing.

  However, in the game history display control process, for example, (1) “Continuous character ratio (latest 6000 games)”, (2) “Character character ratio (latest 6000 games)”, (3) “Continuous character ratio (installation) (4) “Property ratio (cumulative since installation)”, (5) “AT allowable state ratio (cumulative since installation)”, (6) “AT allowable state winning probability” When the power is turned off and the power is turned on again when the game history is displayed on the game history display means 69 in order, the first display is performed in a predetermined display order. (Game) ”is displayed again.

  It should be noted that a pointer indicating which game history data is to be displayed on the game history display means 69 is used to indicate “(1)“ continuous character ratio (last 6000 games) ”which is the first display order when the power is turned on. (1) “Continuous character ratio (last 6000 games)”, (2) “Character ratio (last 6000 games)”, (3) “Continuous character ratio (cumulative since installation)”, ( 4) Repeatedly point in the order of “Performance ratio (cumulative since installation)”, (5) “AT allowable state ratio (cumulative since installation)”, and (6) “AT allowable state winning probability”.

  In the power-on display control process of FIG. 25, the pointer is reset to the initial position (position indicating the game history data in the first order in a predetermined order), and the pointer stored in the insertion / payout number storage means 653 indicates. A game history is displayed on the game history display means 69 using the game history data (step S31). Then, n is set in the display wait timer by the display control means 120 (step S32).

  The display control process of FIG. 26 is executed by a timer interrupt every predetermined time, and as shown in FIG. 26, an operation of adding −1 to the display wait timer is performed (step S41), and then the display wait timer Is determined to be zero (step S42). If the determination result is NO, the display control process is terminated.

  On the other hand, if the decision result in the step S42 is YES, the pointer is incremented by 1 (+1) and the game history is displayed using the game history data pointed to by the pointer stored in the insertion / payout number storage means 653. Displayed on the means 69 (step S43), n is set in the display wait timer (step S44), and this display control process is terminated.

  A modified example of the game history display control process will be described with reference to FIG. In this modified example of the game history display control, the power-on display control process shown in FIG. 27 is executed when the power is turned on, and the display control process is executed by timer interruption every predetermined time until the power is turned off after the power is turned on. Is done by.

  In the modified example of the game history display control process, for example, (1) “Consecutive character ratio (latest 6000 games)”, (2) “Character character ratio (latest 6000 games)”, (3) “Continuous character ratio ( (4) “Property ratio (cumulative since installation)”, (5) “AT allowable state ratio (cumulative since installation)”, (6) “AT allowable state winning probability” ”In order and repeatedly displayed in the game history display means 69, and the power was turned off and the power was turned on again while the game history display means 69 displayed (4)“ Characteristics ratio (cumulative since installation) ”, for example. In this case, when the power is turned off, the game history display means 69 resumes from the display of (4) “Composition ratio (cumulative since installation)”.

  In the power-on display control process of FIG. 27, the position of the pointer is not reset as in step S31 in the power-on display control process of FIG. 25 (game history data pointed to by the pointer when the power is turned off). The game history is displayed on the game history display means 69 using the game history data pointed to by the pointer stored in the input / payout number storage means 653 (step S51). In step S52, the same processing as in step S32 is performed.

  Furthermore, another modified example of the game history display control process will be described with reference to FIG. In another variation of this game history display control, the power-on display control process shown in FIG. 28 is executed when the power is turned on. Done by running.

  In another variation of the game history display control process, for example, (1) “Consecutive character ratio (latest 6000 games)”, (2) “Character character ratio (most recent 6000 games)”, (3) “Continuous character” Ratio (cumulative since installation) ”, (4)“ Percentage of equipment (cumulative since installation) ”, (5)“ AT allowable state ratio (cumulative since installation) ”, (6)“ AT allowable state ” Displayed on the game history display means 69 sequentially in the order of “winning probability”, the power is cut off and the power is turned on again while the game history display means 69 displays (4) “Role ratio (cumulative since installation)”. (4) “AT Allowable State Ratio” (4) in the display order next to “4)“ Characteristics ratio (cumulative since installation) ”that was displayed on the game history display means 69 when the power was turned off. Restart from the display of "Total since installation)".

  In the power-on display control process of FIG. 28, the pointer is incremented by 1 (+1) without resetting the position of the pointer as in step S31 in the power-on display control process of FIG. The game history data pointed to by the pointer is set to a position indicating the game history data in the display order next to the game history data) It is displayed on the display means 69 (step S61). In step S62, the same process as in step S32 is performed.

  In addition to displaying the data calculated by the payout rate calculating means 112c on the game history display means 69, or instead of displaying the data calculated by the payout rate calculating means 112c, the data is stored in the RWM 65. The number of payouts for the small role winning, the number of payouts for the SB prize, the number of payouts for the CT prize, the number of payouts for the RB prize, the number of games in the AT-allowed state, the number of games in the AT non-permitted state, the number of AT-allowed initial hits, etc. You may make it display.

  Therefore, after the power is turned on, a display for specifying predetermined data among a plurality of types of game history data is displayed on the game history display means 69 regardless of the state of the gaming machine, and the game history display means 69 is displayed at regular intervals. Since the display for specifying the plurality of types of game history data is periodically displayed on the game history display means 69 by sequentially changing the display target of the other to other data of the plurality of types of game history data, By confirming the display of the visually recognizable game display means 69, it is possible to make a more detailed fraud determination.

  In the display control processing of FIG. 25 to FIG. 28, when the data amount to be displayed is not aggregated by a predetermined amount, blinking or the like may be performed as the display mode of the game history display means 69. In addition, when the data amount is an abnormal value, control such as high-speed blinking or changing the display color or brightness may be performed.

  Therefore, a storage area of a ring buffer configuration for storing data for 6000 games in total for 15 periods (set total standard) as 400 games per period (predetermined total standard) is formed in the input / output number storage means 653 of the RWM 65. Since the data is overwritten in the storage area stored first, even if the game is executed over 6000 games, the number of games every 400 games from the last game to the medium term (6000 games) Number of games by counter, number of re-game winnings, number of medals inserted, number of medals paid out, number of medals paid out by small role winning, number of medals paid out by SB winning, number of medals paid out by CT winning, number of medals paid out by RB winning, AT Game information such as the number of allowed games, the number of non-AT allowed games, the number of first AT allowed games, It is possible to check these total cumulative.

  Therefore, the fraud can be determined in more detail by confirming the display of the game history display means 69.

  In addition, since the medium-term play rate (%), medium-term role ratio, and medium-term consecutive role ratio over the medium term (for 6000 games) are calculated and derived by the play rate calculation means 112c, Management of property ratios and medium-term consecutive property ratios can be performed easily.

  Also, the payout rate calculating means 112c is a medium term bonus ratio obtained by dividing the medium payout amount by CT, SB, RB winning in the medium term (for 6000 games) by the total medal payout amount in the medium term (for 6000 games), the medium term The number of consecutive feature payouts in the RB winning of the previous year divided by the total number of medal payouts in the medium term (6000 games), the total number of winnings in the CT, SB, and RB winnings after the installation The ratio of bonuses divided by the number of payouts, the ratio of consecutive bonuses divided by the total number of medals paid out after the RB winning after the installation, the total number of games after the installation of the number of games that were in an AT-allowed state after the installation The AT permissible state ratio divided by the number, and the AT permissible initial winning count after installation divided by the number of games in the non-AT permissible state after installation are calculated.

  In addition to the RWM 65, a separate RWM is provided on the main control board 63 so that the data for each period from the first period (P1) to the fifteenth period (P15) can be checked for each game. Game information data such as at least the number of re-game winnings, the number of medals inserted, the number of medals paid out, the number of medals paid out by small role winning, the number of medals paid out by SB winning, the number of medals paid out by CT winning, the number of medals paid out by RB winning May be stored and stored for each game. At this time, if there is room in the capacity of the RWM 65, it is desirable to use an unused area of the RWM 65.

  Next, the arrangement relationship of components (connectors, game history display means, main CPU, IC, etc.) mounted on the main control board 63 in this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.

  On one surface 63A of the main control board 63, three connectors CN1, CN2, and CN3 are mounted in a region near one edge of the main control board 63, and an edge on the connector CN3 side in a region near the opposite edge to the one edge. One connector CN4 is mounted nearby. Of the connectors CN1, CN2, CN3, and CN4, at least the connector CN1 is formed in the substrate case CS as shown in FIG. The exposed connector opening CS1 is exposed to the outside.

  Further, on one surface 63A of the main control board 63, the main CPU 61 is mounted near the edge on the connector CN1 side in the area near the above-mentioned opposing edge. A test mounting area for mounting a test IC or the like is provided between the main CPU 61 and the connector CN4.

  Further, on one surface 63A of the main control board 63, a game history display means 69 and ICs 81 and 82 are mounted between the main CPU 61 and the connector CN1. The game history display means 69 is arranged at a position closer to the connector CN1 than the main CPU 61. The ICs 81 and 82 are arranged between the game history display means 69 and the main CPU 61, and as shown in FIG. 29A, the game history display means (in FIG. 29, simply “display (display component)”). The height from the one surface 63A of the main control board 63 is lower than 69) (see the dotted line in FIG. 29A). However, no part such as an IC having a lower height than the game history display unit 69 is arranged between the game history display unit 69 and the connector CN1. The game history display means 69 is preferably disposed between the main CPU 61 and the connector closest to the main CPU 61. The game history display means 69 is arranged between the connector corresponding to the connector opening having the longest opening side and the main CPU 61 because the longer the opening side is, the easier it is to insert an illegal member such as a wire. It is preferable.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 29A, the game history display means 69 has a surface opposite to the one surface (component mounting surface) 63A of the main control board 63 (the back surface of the main control board 63 on which no components are mounted). ) The soldering 69A is performed only on the 63B side, the connector CN1 other than the game history display means 69, the main CPU (simply referred to as “CPU” in FIG. 29) 61, the ICs 81 and 82, etc. Soldering CN1A, 61A, 81A, 82A is performed on both the side and the opposite surface 63B side. It should be noted that components other than the game history display means 69 are not soldered on both the one surface 63A and the opposite surface 63B, but are soldered only on one surface, for example, the connector CN1 is only on the opposite surface 63B side. May be.

  On one surface 63A of the main control board 63, ICs 83, 84, 85, diodes 91, resistance groups 92, 94, transistors 93, and capacitor groups 95 are mounted.

  The ICs 81, 82, 83, 84, 85, the diode 91, the resistor groups 92 and 94, the transistor 93, and the capacitor group 95 are, for example, input of signals to the main CPU 61 and output of signals from the main CPU 61 to external devices. It is a part related to.

  As shown in FIG. 6, from the connector CN1 side to the main CPU 61 side, the connector CN1, game history display means 69, ICs 81 and 82, and main CPU 61 are arranged in this order, and the game history display means 69 is closer to the connector CN1 than the main CPU 61. The effects of the arrangement will be described with reference to FIGS. 29B, 29C, and 29D.

  FIG. 29B is an example different from the embodiment, and the connector CN1, the IC 81, and the main CPU 61 are arranged in this order. In this case, in order to allow the illegal member 180 such as a wire inserted from the connector opening CS1 to reach the main CPU 61, it is necessary to get over the IC 81, but a component having a lower height than a component having a higher height is Since it is easy to get over the unauthorized member 180, it is not difficult for the unauthorized member 180 to reach the main CPU 61 even if there is an IC 81 having a low height between the connector CN 1 and the main CPU 61.

  FIG. 29C is an example different from the embodiment, and the connector CN1, IC81, game history display means 69, and main CPU 61 are arranged in this order from the connector CN1 side to the main CPU 61 side. In this case, in order to allow the unauthorized member 180 inserted from the connector opening CS1 to reach the main CPU 61, it is necessary to get over the IC 81 and the game history display means 69. Although it is difficult for the parts to get over the illegal member 180, the gaming history of the illegal member 180 having a high height is obtained by using the IC81 having a low height arranged between the connector CN1 and the game history display means 69. Since the display means 69 can be overcome, even if the IC 81 and the game history display means 69 are between the connector CN1 and the main CPU 61, it is not difficult for the unauthorized member 180 to reach the main CPU 61.

  FIG. 29 (d) shows an embodiment in which the connector CN 1, game history display means 69, IC 81, 82, main CPU 61 are arranged in this order from the connector CN 1 side to the main CPU 61 side, and the game history display means 69 is arranged from the main CPU 61. It is arranged at a position close to the connector CN1 (for example, a distance within twice the height of the game history display means 69). In this case, in order to allow the unauthorized member 180 inserted from the connector opening CS1 to reach the main CPU 61, it is necessary to get over the game history display means 69 and the IC 81, and the game having a height higher than that of the component having a lower height. It is difficult for the fraudulent member 180 to get over the history display means 69, and since the low-height parts are not mounted between the connector CN1 and the high game history display means 69, the fraudulent member 180 is raised. In order to get over the high game history display means 69, it is not possible to use a component having a low height. In addition, by arranging the game history display means 69 at a position closer to the connector CN1 than the main CPU 61, the space that can be used for the unauthorized member 180 inserted from the connector opening CS1 to get over the game history display means 69 is also narrowed. It is difficult for the unauthorized member 180 to get over the game history display means 69, and it is difficult for the unauthorized member 180 to reach the main CPU 61.

  From the viewpoint of preventing the unauthorized member 180 from using an IC or the like having a lower height than the game history display means 69 in order to get over the game history display means 69, the history display means 69 is connected to the main connector CN1. Arranged at a position close to the CPU 61 and a part such as an IC having a lower height than the game history display means 69 is not arranged between the connector CN1 and the game history display means 69, and between the game history display means 69 and the main CPU 61. It is difficult to allow the unauthorized member 180 to reach the main CPU 61 simply by disposing it at the position.

  According to the arrangement relationship of the connector CN1, the main CPU 61, the game history display means 69, and the ICs 81, 82 described with reference to FIG. Accommodating the display means 69 makes it difficult to cheat on the game history display means 69, and even if an unauthorized member 180 is inserted through the connector opening CS1 to try to cheat on the main CPU 61. The display means 69 becomes a barrier, making it difficult for the unauthorized member 180 to reach the main CPU 61, so that unauthorized acts on the main CPU 61 can be suppressed. Furthermore, by mounting the game history display means 69 near the connector CN1, it is possible to check the display contents of the game history display means 69 and check the periphery of the connector that is likely to be fraudulent.

  Also, as described above with reference to FIG. 29 (a), the game history display means 69 is soldered only on the opposite surface 63B side of the main control board 63, so that the game history display means 69 is connected to the main control board 63. Even if it is prescribed that the opposing surface (the lower surface of the game history display means 69 opposite to the display surface on which the 7-segment display of the game history display means 69 is arranged) is separated from the soldered portion, the main control is performed. It is possible to narrow the space between the one surface 63A of the board 63 and the lower surface of the game history display means 69, and the gap between the one surface 63A of the main control board 63 and the lower surface of the game history display means 69 is reduced. It is difficult to cheat on the main CPU 61 through.

  The game history display means 69 is configured by four separate 7-segment displays. However, the game history display means 69 is configured to include at least one display unit configured by unitizing a plurality of 7-segment displays. Also good. For example, it is configured by one display unit configured by unitizing four 7-segment displays, or by two display units configured by uniting two 7-segment displays. In this case, there is no gap between the 7-segment displays in the game history display means 69, or the number of the gaps is reduced, so that it is difficult to cheat the main CPU 61 through the unauthorized member 180 through the gap between the 7-segment displays. Become.

  The game history display means 69 has a rectangular shape, and the game history display means is provided on the side 69B1 facing the connector CN1 of the game history display means 69 and on the side 69B2 facing the side 69B1 of the game history display means 69. The game history display means 69 may be mounted on one surface 63A of the main control board 63 so that 69 terminals are arranged. In this case, the unauthorized member 180 is passed through the gap between the one surface 63A of the main control board 63 and the opposing surface of the main history board 63 of the game history display means 69 (the lower face of the game history display means 69) to the main CPU 61. Even if it is attempted to cheat, the terminal of the game history display means 69 becomes a barrier and it is difficult to pass the cheating member 180 through the gap. Therefore, the cheating to the main CPU 61 through the cheating member 180 through the gap is difficult. Action can be suppressed.

  The main board area 63 is provided with a test attachment area for attaching an electronic component during a test in order to output a test signal, and the game history display means 69 is attached to an area close to the test attachment area. It may be. The test attachment area is an area where electronic parts are attached to transmit / receive signals to / from the test equipment. Even if fraudulent acts are performed on the electronic parts attached to this test attachment area, the gaming machine will be illegal. Are not directly connected. Therefore, when a fraudulent person conducts a fraudulent act, it is necessary to cause a fraudulent member such as a wire to reach another electronic component that exceeds the attachment area at the time of the test. Since it becomes easy to visually recognize the unauthorized member, it is possible to suppress an illegal act on the gaming machine.

  Furthermore, the arrangement of components (connector, game history display means, main CPU, IC, etc.) mounted on the main control board 63 will be described with reference to FIG.

  By the way, signals transmitted on the main control board 63 include, for example, setting values (setting 1 to setting 6) that are easy to obtain medals, gaming states (normal gaming state, special gaming state, etc.), winning and winning, medal A signal that is directly related to either the game advantage and the acquisition of game media, such as a payout, and a signal that is not directly related to either the game advantage or the acquisition of game media. In FIG. 30, a region surrounded by a dotted line includes a first terminal that handles a signal directly related to either of game advantage and game medium acquisition as a terminal. There are cases where the second terminal for handling a signal not directly related to any of the above is included or not included. In addition, the area surrounded by the alternate long and short dash line does not include the first terminal that handles a signal directly related to either the game advantage or the acquisition of the game medium as a terminal. A second terminal is included that handles signals not directly related to any of the acquisitions.

  Here, the first terminal and the fourth wiring that handle signals directly related to either the advantage of the game or the acquisition of the game medium are, for example, terminals and wirings related to signal input to the main CPU 61, These are terminals and wirings (terminals and wirings related to output of signals from the main CPU 61 (payout control means 110) to the hopper unit 43 (hopper motor 57)) related to the output of the game medium payout signal. In addition, the second terminal and the third wiring for handling signals not directly related to either the game advantage level or the acquisition of the game medium are, for example, from the main CPU 61 (stop control means 106) to the left / middle / right reels 13L and 13M. , 13R related parts (left / middle / right reel motors 14L, 14M, 14R) terminals and wiring related to signal output, main CPU 61 (credit display control means 130) related to credit display ( Terminals and wiring related to signal output to the credit indicator 45), or terminals and wiring related to signal output from the main CPU 61 (cancellation control means 140) to components (medal canceller 48) related to game media cancellation It is. Note that the term “terminal” as used herein includes not only a component terminal but also a via or a through hole that can be easily conducted by a fraudster using a wire or the like. In addition, even for the same type of component, depending on the signal to be handled, the component terminal and wiring may be the first terminal and the fourth wiring, and may be the second terminal and the third wiring. For example, an IC 81 to be described later surrounded by an alternate long and short dash line is an IC related to the second terminal and the third wiring, and an IC 82 to be described later surrounded by a dotted line is an IC related to the first terminal and the fourth wiring. Note that wiring that handles signals directly related to either game advantage and acquisition of game media and wiring that handles signals not directly related to either game advantage or acquisition of game media include board wiring. Make it not exist.

  As shown in FIG. 30, game history display means 69 is mounted on one surface 63A of the main control board 63. The game history display means 69 is a package such as a DIP in which the terminal of the game history display means 69 is not provided in the central area of the opposite surface (the lower surface of the game history display means 69) facing the 7-segment display. It consists of When such a game history display means 69 is mounted on the main control board 69, the opposite surface between the one face 63A of the main control board 63 and the one face 63A of the game history display means 69 (of the game history display means 69). There is a risk that an IC may be illegally concealed and mounted in this gap.

  On one surface 63A of the main control board 63, connectors CN1, CN2, ICs 81, 83, 84, 85, a diode 91, resistance groups 92, 94, and a transistor 93 are mounted around the game history display means 69. Has been. The connectors CN1, CN2, IC81, 83, 84, 85, the diode 91, the resistor groups 92, 94, and the transistor 93 are provided with a second terminal, or the game history display means 69 has a second terminal. The first terminal is not arranged, or the first terminal is not arranged on the game history display means 69 side. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 30, between the first terminal of the connector CN2 in the area surrounded by the dotted line and the game history display means 69, the area surrounded by the one-dot chain line on the game history display means 69 side of the connector CN2 The second terminal is arranged, the second terminal is arranged on the game history display means 69 side, and the connector CN2 without the first terminal is arranged on the game history display means 69 side. Become.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 30, on one surface 63A of the main control board 63, the IC 82 and the main CPU 61 are adjacent to the IC 81 so that the IC 81 is located between the own part and the game history display means 69. It is installed. The IC 82 and the main CPU 61 have a first terminal on the game history display means 69 side. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 30, the second terminal is arranged between each of the first terminal of the IC 82 and the first terminal of the main CPU 61 and the game history display means 69, and the first terminal is arranged. IC81 that is not present is arranged.

  Further, on one surface 63A of the main control board 63, as shown in FIG. The capacitor group 95 is mounted so that is positioned. A first terminal is arranged in the capacitor group 95. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 30, a second terminal is disposed between the first terminal of the capacitor group 95 and the game history display means 69, and the resistor groups 92 and 94 where the first terminal is not disposed. The transistor 93 is disposed.

  Further, on one side 63A of the main control board 63, as shown in FIG. 30, the connector CN2, the selector 93, and the resistance group 94 are located between the own part and the game history display means 69, adjacent to the connector CN2. As shown, a connector CN3 is mounted. A first terminal is disposed on the connector CN3. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 30, between the first terminal of the connector CN3 and the game history display means 69, the second terminal is arranged, and the resistance groups 92 and 94, the transistor 93 in which the first terminal is not arranged. The second terminal is arranged on the game history display means 69 side, and the connector CN2 on which the first terminal is not arranged is arranged on the game history display means 69 side.

  According to the arrangement of FIG. 30 described above, the first terminal is not arranged between the first terminal and the game history display means 69 or the first terminal is not arranged on the game history display means 69 side. Parts are mounted. For this reason, the one side 63A of the main control board 63 and the game history display corresponding to the gap immediately below the lower surface of the game history display means 69 on the opposite side of the display surface on which the 7-segment display of the game history display means 69 is arranged. Even if the IC is illegally concealed and mounted in the gap between the surface of the means 69 facing the one surface 63A (the lower surface of the game history display means 69), the wiring extending from the illegally concealed IC is connected to the first terminal. In order to connect to a component mounted between the first terminal and the game history display means 69 (the first terminal is not arranged or the first terminal is arranged on the game history display means 69 side). It is necessary to lay the wiring extending from the IC that is illegally concealed and avoids (unusable parts). For example, in order to connect the wiring 185 extending from the illegally hidden IC mounted to the first terminal 82b of the IC 82, the IC 81 mounted between the first terminal 82b and the game history display means 69 is used. It is necessary to avoid laying. For this reason, the wiring extending from the illegally concealed IC is lengthened, and the illegally concealed IC can be easily found.

  In order to connect an IC illegally concealed in the gap directly below the lower surface of the game history display means 69 to the first terminal in the area surrounded by the dotted line of the connector CN3, the game history display means 69 is not connected to the first location. It is necessary to lay out avoiding the connector CN2 in which one terminal is arranged and the second terminal is arranged on the game history display means 69 side. As described above, the parts arranged between the first terminal and the display history display means 69 are illegal if the first terminal is not arranged on the game history display means 69 side even if the first terminal is arranged. It can be handled as an effective part for finding an IC hidden in the area.

  In addition, it is preferable to surround the game history display means 69 with components in which the first terminal is not arranged or the first terminal is not arranged on the game history display means 69 side. Or, for all the first terminals, a component in which the first terminal is not arranged between the first terminal and the game history display means 69 or the first terminal is not arranged on the game history display means 69 side is arranged. It is preferable to do. By the way, the first terminal having a large distance from the game history display means 69 has a long linear distance between the first terminal and the IC illegally concealed in the gap immediately below the lower surface of the game history display means 69. Even if a wiring for connecting one terminal and an illegally hidden IC is laid in a straight line, the wiring becomes long and it is easy to find an illegally hidden IC. On the other hand, in the first terminal having a small distance from the game history display means 69, the linear distance between the first terminal and the IC illegally hidden in the gap immediately below the lower surface of the game history display means 69 is short. Thus, if the wiring connecting the first terminal and the illegally concealed IC can be laid in a straight line, the wiring becomes short and it is difficult to find the illegally concealed IC. Therefore, the first terminal is not arranged between at least the first terminal closest to the game history display means 69 and the game history display means 69 among the plurality of first terminals, or the game history display means 69. It is only necessary that a component without the first terminal is mounted on the side.

  Next, the wiring laying on the one surface 63A of the main control board 63 will be described with reference to FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 31A, a first wiring 161 for VDD and a second wiring 162 for GND are laid on one surface 63A of the main control board 63, and immediately below the lower surface of the game history display means 69. The second wiring 162 is laid in the region 63C facing the game history display means (simply described as “display (display component)” in FIG. 31) 69 on one side of the main control board 63. Absent. Here, the first wiring 161 is a wiring for supplying VDD to the game history display means 69. In FIG. 31A, the first wiring 161 is laid in the facing area 63C. However, both the first wiring 161 and the second wiring 162 may not be laid in the facing area 63C. Instead of laying the first wiring 161 on 63C, the second wiring 162 may be laid. Further, the first wiring may be for GND and the second wiring may be for VDD.

  FIG. 31B is an example different from the embodiment, in which both the first wiring 161 for VDD and the second wiring 162 for GND correspond to a main control corresponding to a position directly below the lower surface of the game history display means 69. The main control board 63 is laid on one surface 63 </ b> A so as to be laid on the facing region 63 </ b> C of the board 63. In this case, the opposite surface between the one surface 63A of the main control board 63 and the one surface 63A of the game history display means 69 (the lower surface of the game history display means 69), which corresponds to the gap immediately below the lower surface of the game history display means 69. ) To connect the first wiring 161 and the second wiring 162 in order to supply VDD and GND to the illegal IC 191 when mounted so as to hide the illegal IC 191 that requires both VDD and GND for operation. However, since the wiring 192A and the wiring 192B are completed in the facing area 63C of the main control board 63 corresponding to the area immediately below the lower surface of the game history display means 69, it becomes impossible to visually recognize unauthorized traces from the outside. .

  FIG. 31C shows an embodiment in which both the first VDD wiring 161 and the second GND wiring 162 are laid on one surface 63A of the main control board 63. The second wiring 162 is not laid in the facing region 63 </ b> C of the main control board 63 that is directly below the lower surface. In this case, the opposite surface between the one surface 63A of the main control board 63 and the one surface 63A of the game history display means 69 (the lower surface of the game history display means 69), which corresponds to the gap immediately below the lower surface of the game history display means 69. ), The wiring 192A for connecting the illegal IC 191 and the first wiring 161 is provided on the lower surface of the game history display means 69 when mounted so as to hide the illegal IC 191 that requires both VDD and GND for operation. The wiring 192B for connecting the unauthorized IC 191 and the second wiring 162 is the lower surface of the game history display means 69 although it cannot be visually recognized from the outside because it is completed in the facing area 63C of the main control board 63 corresponding to the area immediately below. A part of the wiring 192B is a game history table because it cannot be completed in the facing area 63C of the main control board 63 corresponding to the area immediately below It will be laid easily viewable area from the outside without being interrupted by the means 69. Therefore, even if the illegal IC 191 is mounted so as to be hidden in the gap between the one surface 63A of the main control board 63 and the lower surface of the game history display means 69, which corresponds to the gap immediately below the lower face of the game history display means 69, Since a part of the wiring 192B for connecting to the second wiring 162 can be easily visually recognized from the outside without being obstructed by the game history display means 69, the unauthorized IC 191 can be easily found.

  Note that the second wiring 162 may not be laid in the peripheral region of the facing region 63C of the main control board 63 corresponding to the periphery immediately below the lower surface of the game history display means 69. According to this, a portion of the wiring 192B for connecting the unauthorized IC 191 to the second wiring 162 that can be visually recognized from the outside without being interrupted by the game history display means 69 becomes longer. It is mounted so as to be concealed in a gap between one surface 63A of the main control board 63 corresponding to the gap directly below and the surface facing the one surface 63A of the game history display means 69 (the lower surface of the game history display means 69). Discovery of unauthorized IC 191 becomes easier.

  Subsequently, a modification example related to the laying of the first wiring 161 and the second wiring 162 will be described with reference to FIG. In this modification, a module (“display including display components (display unit)) in which a game history display unit 69 corresponding to a display component and a driver for driving the game history display unit 69 are mounted on the substrate 70 is mounted. Is mounted on one surface 63A of the main control board 63. The board 70 is attached to a connector 79 mounted on one surface 63A of the main control board 63. Here, since there is the connector 79 directly under the substrate 70, there is no gap that can hide the IC or the like illegally. For this reason, also in the case of FIG. 32, the place where the IC or the like is hidden illegally is a gap immediately below the lower surface of the game history display means 69. Even when the terminals of the board 70 are fixed to the main control board 63 by double-sided soldering, there is a gap that can illegally hide the IC or the like because the terminals of the board 70 are directly under the board 70. do not do. For this reason, a place where the IC or the like is illegally hidden is a gap directly below the lower surface of the game history display means 69.

  As shown in FIG. 32, a first wiring 161 and a second wiring 162 are laid on one surface 63A of the main control board 63, and the first wiring 161 and the second wiring 162 drive the above-described driver. Therefore, the main control board 63 is also laid in a region 63 </ b> D facing the board 70 in one surface 63 </ b> A. By the way, the second wiring 162 is laid in a facing area 70C of the face 70A facing the game history display means 69 of the board 70 facing the game history display means 69 (corresponding directly below the lower surface of the game history display means 69). Not. With this configuration, as in the case of FIG. 31, the opposing surface 70 </ b> A of the board 70 corresponding to the gap immediately below the lower surface of the game history display means 69 and the opposing surface of the board 70 of the game history display means 69 (game history display means) It is possible to easily find an IC illegally concealed in the gap with the lower surface of 69. Note that the second wiring 162 is not also laid around the opposing region 70 </ b> C of the substrate 70 corresponding to the periphery immediately below the lower surface of the game history display means 69.

  Further, a modified example of the wiring laying on the one surface 63A of the main control board 63 will be described with reference to FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 33 (a), one surface 63A on which game history display means (simply described as “display (display component)” in FIG. 33) 69 etc. of the main control board 63 is mounted is for VDD. The first wiring 161, the second wiring 162 for GND, the third wiring 163 that handles signals not directly related to any of the game advantage and game media acquisition, and any of the game advantage and game media acquisition A fourth wiring 164 that handles directly related signals is laid. And in the area 63C facing the game history display means 69 in the one surface 63A of the main control board 63, which corresponds to the position directly below the lower surface of the game history display means 69, the first wiring 161 or the third wiring 163 or its Although both are laid, the second wiring 162 and the fourth wiring 164 are not laid in the facing region 63C. Furthermore, it is preferable to lay the first wiring 161 and / or the third wiring 163 in the facing region 63C in almost the entire region with a design rule that minimizes the distance between the wirings.

  Also, as shown in FIG. 33A, a second GND wiring 162 is laid on the opposite surface (the surface on which no component is mounted) 63B of one side (component mounting surface) 63A of the main control board 63. May be.

  According to the wiring arrangement described with reference to FIG. 33 (a), as shown in FIG. 33 (b), the one surface 63A of the main control board 63, which corresponds to the gap immediately below the lower surface of the game history display means 69, When the illegal IC 191 that requires both VDD and GND for operation is hidden in the gap between the game history display means 69 and the surface facing the one surface 63A (the lower surface of the game history display means 69), the illegal IC 191 is hidden. Is connected to the second wiring 162 laid on the opposite surface 63B of the main control board 63 which is the shortest distance from the unauthorized IC 191. . However, if a hole is formed in the main control board 63 and an attempt is made to connect to the second wiring 162 laid on the opposite surface 63B of the main control board 63, it is laid in the facing area 63C corresponding to a position directly below the lower surface of the game history display means 69. The connected wiring (first wiring, third wiring) is cut (193 in the figure), or the second wiring 162 and the wiring (first wiring, third wiring) laid in the facing region 63C are short-circuited. As a result, the slot machine does not operate normally. This makes it possible to grasp that fraud is being performed.

  In addition, an opposing surface (the lower surface of the game history display unit 69) between the one surface 63A of the main control board 63 and the one surface 63A of the game history display unit 69, which corresponds to a gap immediately below the lower surface of the game history display unit 69. When the illegal IC 191 is mounted so as to conceal the illegal IC 191 in the gap, the wiring 192C for connecting the illegal IC 191 to the fourth wiring 164 corresponds to an area 63C of the main control board 63 corresponding to the area immediately below the lower surface of the game history display means 69. Therefore, a part of the wiring 192C is laid in an area that can be easily visually recognized from the outside without being interrupted by the game history display means 69. Therefore, even if the illegal IC 191 is mounted so as to be hidden in the gap between the one surface 63A of the main control board 63 and the lower surface of the game history display means 69, which corresponds to the gap immediately below the lower face of the game history display means 69, Since a part of the illegal wiring for connecting to the fourth wiring 164 can be easily visually recognized from the outside without being obstructed by the game history display means 69, the illegal IC 191 can be easily found, and the advantage of the game and the game medium It is possible to prevent fraud against the acquisition of.

  Further, when the player confirms the game history display means 69 in front view, the display contents can be confirmed, and when the player confirms the game history display means 69, specific means for preventing confirmation of the display contents may be provided. Examples of the specifying means include a polarizing film attached to the substrate case CS, a mesh formed on the substrate case CS, and a wall provided so as to cover the periphery of the game history display means 69. Further, auxiliary means for assisting confirmation of display contents only when the player confirms the game history display means 69 in front view may be provided. The auxiliary means is, for example, a magnifying lens provided only in a front view. Further, the game history display means 69 may be arranged at a position where it is difficult to see the display of the game history display means 69 in perspective. For example, in a state where the main control board 63 is attached to the inside of the housing 3 as shown in FIG. 5, the game history display means 69 is provided on the shaft side when the door is opened. According to these, even if the store clerk opens the front door 5 in order to eliminate the cause of the error that occurred during the game, the player cannot easily confirm the display contents of the game history display means 69. It is possible to prevent confirmation of display contents of the game history display means 69 of the player who does not.

  Therefore, according to the first embodiment, fraud can be determined in more detail by confirming the display of the game history display means 69. Furthermore, since the arrangement of the main control board 69 such as the connector CN1, the game history display means 69, the ICs 81 and 82, and the main CPU 61 on the main control board 69 has been devised, illegal acts on the main CPU 61 and the like can be prevented.

For example, in the 399th game, as shown in FIG. In the current generation short-term storage area MsT formed in the unused area of the RWM 65, the medal insertion number “1197”, the medal payout number “600”, the re-game winning number “53”, and the game number “399” are stored and stored. Is done. On the other hand, since the number of games has not reached 400, the number of medals inserted, the number of medals paid out, the number of re-game winnings and the short-term play rate (%) stored in the one-generation previous short-term storage area MsB are all “0”. Similarly, the number of medals inserted, the number of medals paid out, the number of winnings of the re-gamer, the short-term payout rate, and the short-term payout NG count stored in the cumulative short-term storage area MsS are all “0”.

  Then, at the 400th game, as shown in FIG. 38, “1200” obtained by adding “3” of the number of inserted medals “1197” stored in the current generation short-term storage area MsT is the short-term storage area MsB one generation before. The medal payout number is “600” without change, and “53” without change of the re-gamer winning number is stored in the short-term storage area MsB one generation before and stored as the number of games until then. “400” obtained by adding “1” to “399” and the short-term payout rate “50 (%)” are stored and stored in the short-term storage area MsB one generation before. Further, in the cumulative short-term storage area MsS, the medal insertion number “1200”, the medal payout number “600”, the re-game winning number “53”, the short-term payout rate (%) “50”, and the short-term payout NG information “0” is stored and stored.

  In the 401st game, as shown in FIG. 39, in the current generation short-term storage area MsT, the medal insertion number “3”, the medal payout number “6”, and “0” without changing the number of winnings of the re-gamer. The number of games “1” is stored and stored in the short-term storage area MsT before the current generation. In addition, the data for up to 400 games, which is the same as that in FIG.

  Furthermore, in the short-term 800th game over two generations, as shown in FIG. 40, “1200” obtained by adding “3” of the number of inserted medals “1197” stored in the current generation short-term storage area MsT is one generation. Stored and stored in the previous short-term memory area MsB, for example, “3800” as the medal payout number, and “55” as the number of winnings of the re-gamer, for example, are stored in the one-generation previous short-term memory area MsB, For example, “317” is stored and stored in the short-term storage area MsB one generation before. In addition, the cumulative short-term memory area MsS stores and stores a medal insertion number “2400” for two generations of short-term, for example, “4400” as the medal payout number, and “108” as the number of winnings for the re-gamer, For example, “183” is stored and stored as the ball rate (%), and “1” is stored as the short-term appearance NG number, for example.

  By the way, the current generation medium-term storage area MmT, the previous generation medium-term storage area MmB, the accumulated medium-term storage area MmS, and the current generation long-term storage area MlT, the previous generation long-term storage area MlB, and the storage to the accumulated long-term storage area MlS. The operation is the same as the storage operation for the current generation short-term storage area MsT, the previous generation short-term storage area MsB, and the cumulative short-term storage area MsS. In addition, a plurality of types of game history data calculated using a plurality of types of total data stored in the RWM 65 in this way are displayed on the game history display means 69 as in the first embodiment.
