The symbols “Seven 1” are arranged.

<Game state transition>
Next, the transition of the gaming state of the slot machine 100 will be described using FIG. The gaming state is information for identifying the type of lottery data selected in a lottery or the like.

  In the present embodiment, the gaming state of the slot machine 100 includes a normal gaming state, a special role gaming state (for example, a BB (big bonus) gaming state or an RB (regular bonus) gaming state), and a special role internal winning state (for example, big). Bonus (BB) and regular bonus (RB) internal winning state) and replay high probability state. However, the special role internal winning state and the replay high probability state may be classifications included in the normal game state.

  The internal winning probability of each role in the normal gaming state is RT0, the internal winning probability of each role in the special role 1 gaming state in the special role gaming state is RT1, and the special role 2 game in the special role gaming state The internal winning probability of each role in the state is RT2, the internal winning probability of each role in the special role 1 internal winning state in the special role internal winning state is RT3, and the special role 2 in the special winning internal winning state The internal winning probability of each combination in the internal winning state is RT4, and the internal winning probability of each combination in the replay high probability state is RT1.

If there is a special role 1 internal winning in the normal gaming state or re-playing high probability state, it will transition to the special role 1 internal winning state,
If there is a special role 2 internal winning in the normal gaming state or re-playing high probability state, it will transition to the special role 2 internal winning state,
If there is a special role 1 prize in the normal gaming state or re-playing high probability state, the state will change to the special role 1 gaming state,
If there is a special role 2 winning in the normal gaming state or the re-playing high probability state, the state will change to the special role 2 gaming state,
If there is a special role 1 winning in the special role 1 internal winning state, transition to the special role 1 game state,
If there is a special role 2 winning in the special role 2 internal winning state, transition to the special role 2 gaming state,
If there is a specified number of payouts in the special role 1 game state, it will transition to the replay high probability game state,
If there is a specified number of payouts in the special role 2 gaming state, it will transition to the normal gaming state,
When the specified number of games are digested in the high replay probability state (for example, when the number of consecutive games reaches 30 games), the state changes to the normal game state.

<Type of winning prize>
Next, the types of winning combinations of the slot machine 100 will be described with reference to FIG. The figure (a) shows the types of winning combinations (including actuating combinations), symbol combinations corresponding to each winning combination, and the operation or payout of each winning combination. FIG. As shown, the middle horizontal winning line, the upper horizontal winning line, the lower horizontal winning line, the lower right winning line, and the upper right winning line are shown.

  Among the winning combinations in the present embodiment, the big bonus (BB1 as the special combination 1 and BB2 as the special combination 2) and the regular bonus (RB as the special combination 3) are used as a transition to the bonus game, and again. A game (replay as a re-playing role) is sometimes distinguished from a winning combination as a role that allows re-playing without newly inserting medals, and may be called an “acting role”. The “winning combination” includes a big bonus, a regular bonus, and a replay that are actuating combinations. In addition, the “winning” in the present embodiment includes a case where a symbol combination of an actuator that does not accompany a medal payout (ie, does not accompany a medal payout) is displayed on an active line of the winning line 114. Includes big bonuses, regular bonuses, and replay wins.

  The winning combination of the slot machine 100 includes a big bonus (BB1, BB2), a regular bonus (RB), a small role (cherry as a small role 1, a watermelon as a small role 2, and a bell as a small role 3). There is a replay. Needless to say, the type of winning combination is not limited to this and can be arbitrarily adopted.

  “Big Bonus (BB1, BB2)” (hereinafter sometimes simply referred to as “BB”) is a special combination (operating combination) in which a big bonus game (BB game), which is a special game, is started by winning a prize. . As for the corresponding symbol combinations, BB1 is “Seven 2-Seven 2-Seven 2”, and BB2 is “Seven 1-Seven 1-Seven 1”. Further, flag carryover is performed for BB1 and BB2. That is, when BB1 and BB2 are won internally, a flag indicating this is set (stored in a predetermined area of the RAM 308 of the main control unit 300), but even if BB1 and BB2 are not won in the game, a prize is won. Until then, the flag indicating the internal winning is maintained, and even after the next game, BB1 and BB2 are in the internal winning state, the symbol combination corresponding to BB1 "Seven 2-Seven 2-Seven 2", symbol corresponding to BB2 The combination “Seven 1-Seven 1-Seven 1” is in a state of winning a prize.

  The “regular bonus (RB)” is a special combination (operating combination) in which a regular bonus game (RB game) is started by winning. The corresponding symbol combination is “BAR-BAR-BAR”. Note that the RB carries over the flag as well as the above-mentioned BB. However, in the big bonus game (BB game), the start of the big bonus game without having the start condition that the regular bonus game (RB game) is won internally or the symbol combination is displayed on the winning line. A regular bonus game may be set to automatically start such that when a regular bonus game is started later and one regular bonus game is completed, the next regular bonus game is immediately started.

  “Small (cherry (small role 1), watermelon (small role 2), bell (small role 3))” (hereinafter sometimes simply referred to as “cherry”, “watermelon”, “bell”) A winning combination in which a predetermined number of medals are paid out by winning, and the corresponding symbol combinations are “Cherry-ANY-ANY” for cherry, “Watermelon-Watermelon-Watermelon” for watermelon, and “Bell-Bell-Bell” for bell. . The corresponding payout number is as shown in FIG. In the case of “cherry-ANY-ANY”, the symbol of the left reel 110 may be “cherry”, and the symbol of the middle reel 111 and the right reel 112 may be any symbol.

  “Replay” is a winning combination (operating combination) in which a game can be performed without inserting a medal (game medium) in the next game by winning, and no medal is paid out. The corresponding symbol combination is “replay-replay-replay” for replay.

<Type of gaming state>
In the present embodiment, the gaming state of the slot machine 100 includes a normal game, a special role game (for example, a BB (big bonus) game state or an RB (regular bonus) game state), and a special role internal winning game (for example, a big bonus ( BB) and regular bonus (RB) internal winning state) and replay high probability games. However, the special role internal winning game and the replay high probability game may be included in the normal game.

<Normal game>
The winning combinations that are internally won for normal games include a big bonus (BB), regular bonus (RB), replay (replay), and small roles (cherry, watermelon, bell).

  “Big Bonus (BB)” is a special combination (operating combination) in which a big bonus game (BB game), which is a special game, is started by winning. “Regular Bonus (RB)” is a special combination (operating combination) that starts a regular bonus game (RB game) upon winning. The “replay” (replay) is a winning combination (operating combination) in which a game can be performed without a medal being inserted in the next game by winning, and no medal is paid out. The “small role” is a winning combination in which a predetermined number of medals are paid out by winning. In addition, the internal winning probability of each combination is a range of random values obtained at the time of internal lottery from numerical data corresponding to the range of lottery data associated with each combination from lottery data prepared for normal games. It is calculated by the value divided by the numerical data (for example, 65535). The lottery data prepared for the normal game is divided into several numerical ranges in advance, and each combination and lose is associated with each numerical range. It is determined whether the random number value obtained as a result of executing the internal lottery is a value corresponding to the lottery data corresponding to which combination, and the internal lottery combination is determined. This lottery data is provided with settings 1 to 6 in which the winning probabilities of at least one combination are different, and a game shop clerk can arbitrarily select and set any set value.

  In the normal game, the internal lottery result is almost lost (big bonus (BB), regular bonus (RB), replay (replay) and small role won), or any stop display result A setting is made so that the stop display result of the losing that does not correspond to the symbol combination of the combination is generally derived, and the total number of medals to be acquired is less than the total number of inserted medals. Therefore, it is a gaming state that is disadvantageous for the player. However, when a predetermined condition is satisfied (for example, when a specific symbol combination is displayed), it is a gaming state that may be changed to increase the probability of internal winning of replaying. In this case, Consumption of medals used for games is suppressed, and a predetermined number of medals are paid out by winning a small role, resulting in a gaming state where the total number of medals exceeds the total number of medals inserted, which is beneficial to the player. May become a gaming state.

<BB game>
The BB game is set to be in a gaming state that is beneficial to the player. That is, the BB game is in a gaming state in which the total number of medals to be acquired exceeds the total number of medals inserted. In this embodiment, the BB game is started by winning a big bonus (BB), and an RB game (described later) can be continuously executed repeatedly, and a predetermined number (for example, during the game) The process ends when more than 465 medals are obtained. However, the BB game only needs to be able to execute the RB game a plurality of times. For example, when a combination (for example, replay-replay-replay) is set for starting the RB game, and this combination is won internally, or The RB game may be set to start when winning. Furthermore, in the BB game, when the BB general game excluding the RB game during the BB game is executed a predetermined number of times (for example, 30 times), or the number of the RB games executed during the BB game is a predetermined number of times. It may be made to end when it reaches (for example, three times).

<RB game>
The RB game is set so as to be in a gaming state that is beneficial to the player. That is, the RB game is in a gaming state in which the total number of medals to be acquired exceeds the total number of medals inserted. In this embodiment, the RB game is started by winning a regular bonus (RB), and a predetermined role is set to a variation that increases the probability of internal winning (for example, “setting 1” or “normal game”). The internal winning probability 1/15 of “small role 1” is increased to an internal winning probability 1 / 1.2, which is a predetermined value), and a predetermined number (for example, 8 times) It ends when there is a prize. In the RB game, when a predetermined number of times (at least 2 times) is won (for example, 8 times), or when the number of RB games executed during the RB game reaches a predetermined number of times (for example, (8 times). Since the BB game described above can execute the RB game a plurality of times, when a single RB game is performed, the number of medals less than the total number of medals obtained in the BB game is acquired and terminated. Become.

<Big winning (BB) and regular bonus (RB) internal winning games>
The winning combination that is internally won for the internal winning game of the big bonus (BB) and the regular bonus (RB) includes a replay and a small role. The big bonus (BB) and the regular bonus (RB) are not won internally, and are game states in which a symbol combination corresponding to the big bonus (BB) or the regular bonus (RB) can be won.

  However, the probability of the internal winning of the replay may be changed from the next game that has been internally won to the big bonus (BB) and the regular bonus (RB), for example, the probability of increasing the internal winning probability of the replay is changed. Until the symbol combination corresponding to the big bonus (BB) and regular bonus (RB) wins, the total number of medals to be acquired is almost the same as the total number of inserted medals, and is compared with the normal game. The gaming state may be beneficial to the player. It should be noted that BB game and RB game are both game states that are beneficial to the player, and may be generally referred to as bonus games or special games.

<Condition device for gaming state>
Next, an example of the condition device of the slot machine 100 will be described with reference to FIG.

  The slot machine 100 according to the present embodiment is configured to be capable of six types of settings, settings 1, settings 2, settings 3, settings 4, settings 5 and settings 6, with respect to settings with different degrees of player profit. It is possible to vary the internal winning probability of each combination in each setting.

  In the condition device shown in FIG. 7, the internal winning probability of each winning combination in each case of RT0 to RT5 for each of the settings 1 to 6 is represented by a value obtained by dividing the numerical value described in each column by 65536. ing.

<Main control unit main processing>
A main control unit main process executed by the CPU 304 of the main control unit 300 will be described with reference to FIG. This figure is a flowchart showing the flow of main processing of the main control unit.

  As described above, the main control unit 300 is provided with the start signal output circuit (reset signal output circuit) 338 that outputs the start signal (reset signal) when the power is turned on. The CPU 304 of the basic circuit 302 to which this activation signal has been input resets by a reset interrupt and executes the main process of the main control unit shown in FIG. 8 in accordance with a control program stored in advance in the ROM 306.

  When power is turned on, first, various initial settings are made in step 2001. In this initial setting, setting of a stack initial value to the stack pointer (SP) of the CPU 304, setting of interrupt prohibition, initial setting of the I / O 310, initial setting of various variables stored in the RAM 308, operation permission to the WDT 314, and initial setting Set the value. Note that the information regarding the setting value is transmitted to the first sub-control unit 400 only when the setting change process for changing the setting is executed.

  In step 2003, a game start process is executed. Here, it is checked whether or not a medal has been inserted, and the winning line display lamp 120 is turned on in response to the insertion of the medal. Note that when a re-win is won in the previous game, a process of inserting the same number of medals as the number of medals inserted in the previous game is performed, so that it is not necessary for the player to insert medals. Further, it is checked whether or not the start lever 135 has been operated. If there is an operation of the start lever 135, the process proceeds to step 2005. When the bet number is set, a bet number setting command is transmitted to the first sub-control unit 400.

  In step 2005, the number of inserted medals is determined, and an effective winning line is determined.

  In step 2007, the random number generated by the random number generation circuit 316 is acquired.

  In step 2009, the winning combination lottery table stored in the ROM 306 is read according to the current gaming state, and an internal lottery is performed using this and the random number value acquired in step 2007. As a result of the internal lottery, when any winning combination (including an operating combination) is won internally, the flag of the winning combination is turned ON. Note that when the winning combination internal lottery process is executed, an internal lottery command is transmitted to the first sub-control unit 400.

  In step 2011, reel stop data is selected based on the internal lottery result.

  In step 2013, rotation of all reels 110 to 112 is started.

  In step 2015, the stop buttons 137 to 139 can be received. When any of the stop buttons is pressed, the reel stop control in which one of the reels 110 to 112 corresponding to the pressed stop button is selected in step 2011. Stop based on data. When all the reels 110 to 112 are stopped, the process proceeds to step 2017.

  In step 2017, a winning determination is performed. In this case, when a picture combination corresponding to some winning combination is displayed on the activated winning line 114 (effective line), it is determined that the winning combination is won. For example, if “bell-bell-bell” is aligned on the activated winning line, it is determined that the player has won the bell. When this winning determination process is executed, a winning determination process command is transmitted to the first sub-control unit 400.

  In step 2019, if any winning combination with payout is won, the number of medals corresponding to the winning combination is paid out according to the number of winning lines.

  In step 2021, a game end process is performed. When this game end process is executed, a game end process command is transmitted to the first sub-control unit 400. This game end process is shown in FIG.

  FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing the flow of the game end process in step 2021 of FIG.

  In step 2101, game state update control is performed. In the RB gaming state, the number of remaining winning prizes and the number of remaining games of the RB game are counted from the current number of winning prizes and the number of games. In the BB game state, the number of acquisitions during the accessory game is counted.

  In step 2102, RT state update control is performed. Here, the RT state is updated in accordance with the RT transition condition shown in FIG.

  In step 2103, it is determined whether or not the BB symbols are displayed in an effective line shape. If they are aligned, the process proceeds to step 2104. If they are not aligned, the process proceeds to step 2106.

  In step 2104, a predetermined value is set in the effect synchronization timer. The effect synchronization timer is a timer for executing a bonus winning effect.

  In step 2105, step 2105 is repeated until the effect synchronization timer becomes 0, and when the effect synchronization timer becomes 0, the process proceeds to step 2106.

  In step 2106, a game end command transmission preparation is performed. Here, the value set in the effect synchronization timer is transmitted to the first sub-control unit 400.

<Main timer 300 timer interrupt processing>
The main control unit timer interrupt process executed by the CPU 304 of the main control unit 300 will be described with reference to FIG. This figure is a flowchart showing the flow of the main control unit timer interrupt process.

  The main control unit 300 includes a counter timer 312 that generates a timer interrupt signal at a predetermined cycle (in this embodiment, about once every 2 ms), and the main control unit timer interrupt is triggered by this timer interrupt signal. The process is started at a predetermined cycle.

  In step 3001, timer interrupt start processing is performed. In this timer interrupt start process, a process of temporarily saving each register value of the CPU 304 to the stack area is performed.

  In step 3003, the WDT 314 is periodically changed to the initial value (32.8 ms in the present embodiment) so that no WDT interruption occurs (so as not to detect a processing abnormality). In the embodiment, the restart is performed once every about 2 ms, which is the period of the main control unit timer interrupt.

  In step 3005, input port state update processing is performed. In this input port status update process, the detection signals of the sensor circuits 320 of the various sensors 318 are input via the input ports of the I / O 310 to monitor the presence or absence of the detection signals, and each of the various sensors 318 is partitioned in the RAM 308. Store in the provided signal state storage area.

  In step 3007, various game processes are performed. Specifically, an interrupt status is acquired (various interrupt statuses are acquired based on signals from various sensors 318), and processing according to this status is performed (for example, the interrupt status of each acquired stop button 137 to 139). Based on the stop button reception process).

  Here, the interrupt status indicates the state of the main process when the timer interrupt process is performed. For example, the interrupt process according to the medal selector process state if the medal insertion can be accepted. If the medal is being paid out, an interruption process is performed according to the medal payout acceptance process state. Other main processing states include a basic processing state and a reel control state, and the reel control state includes an acceleration control state, a constant speed control state, a brake control state, and a stop control state.

  In step 3009, timer update processing is performed. Various timers are updated for each time unit. This timer update process will be described later with reference to FIG.

  In step 3011, command setting transmission processing is performed, and various commands are transmitted to the first sub-control unit 400. Note that the output schedule information transmitted to the first sub-control unit 400 is composed of 16 bits in the present embodiment, bit 15 is strobe information (indicating that data is set when ON), bit 11 -14 are command types (in this embodiment, basic command, start lever reception command, production command accompanying production lottery processing, rotation start command accompanying the start of rotation of reels 110 to 112, and operation of stop buttons 137 to 139. Bits 0 to 10 are command data (a stop button reception command accompanying the stop processing of the reels 110 to 112, a payout number command accompanying the medal payout processing, a payout end command, a command indicating a gaming state, etc.). Predetermined information corresponding to the command type).

  In the first sub-control unit 400, it is possible to determine the production control according to the change of the game control in the main control unit 300 by the command type included in the received output schedule information, and it is included in the output schedule information. Based on the information of the command data, the contents of effect control can be determined.

  In step 3013, an external output signal setting process is performed. In this external output signal setting process, game information stored in the RAM 308 is output to an information input circuit 652 separate from the slot machine 100 via the information output circuit 334.

  In step 3015, device monitoring processing is performed. In this device monitoring process, first, the signal states of the various sensors 318 stored in the signal state storage area in step 3005 are read, and the presence or absence of errors relating to medal insertion abnormality and medal payout abnormality is monitored. (Not shown) Error processing is executed. Further, according to the current gaming state, the medal selector 170 (medal blocker in which the solenoid provided in the medal selector 170 operates), various lamps 336, and various 7-segment (60G) indicators are set.

  In step 3017, it is monitored whether the low voltage signal is on. Then, if the low voltage signal is on (when power supply shutoff is detected), the process proceeds to step 3021. If the low voltage signal is off (power supply shutoff is not detected), the process proceeds to step 3019.

  In step 3019, various processes for ending the timer interrupt end process are performed. In this timer interrupt end process, the value of each register temporarily saved in step 3001 is set in each original register. Thereafter, the process returns to the main process of the main control unit shown in FIG.

  On the other hand, in step 3021, a specific variable or stack pointer for returning to the power-off state at the time of power recovery is saved as a return data in a predetermined area of the RAM 308, and power-off processing such as initialization of input / output ports is performed. After that, the process returns to the main process of the main control unit shown in FIG.

  FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing the timer update process in step 3009 of FIG.

  In step 3101, it is determined whether the effect synchronization timer is 0. If it is not 0, the process proceeds to Step 3102, and if it is 0, the process proceeds to Step 3103.

  In step 3102, the effect synchronization timer is subtracted.

  In the present embodiment, when a BB prize is won, a freeze occurs for a predetermined period. The reason is that the game progress operation is not accepted during the period when the effect at the time of winning the BB is received, so that the effect at the time of winning the BB is not skipped, and the main control unit is executed during this period. The operation of not only the operation unit (for example, stop buttons 137 to 139) controlled by 300 but also the operation unit (for example, effect button 701) controlled by the first sub-control unit 400 is invalidated.

  In the present embodiment, the effect synchronization timer is mounted. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the present invention may be applied to a game machine that does not include the effect synchronization timer.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the operation of all the operation units is invalidated during the production synchronization timer operation. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the operation unit (managed by the first sub control unit 400 ( For example, only the effect button 701) may be configured to be effective.

  In step 3101, processing according to other various timers is performed.

<Processing of First Sub-Control Unit 400>
The process of the first sub control unit 400 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 12A is a flowchart of main processing executed by the CPU 404 of the first sub-control unit 400. FIG. 12B is a flowchart of the command reception interrupt process of the first sub control unit 400. FIG. 12C is a flowchart of the timer interrupt process of the first sub control unit 400.

  First, in step 4001 in FIG. 12A, various initial settings are performed. When power is turned on, initialization processing is first executed in step 4001. In this initialization processing, initialization of input / output ports, initialization processing of a storage area in the RAM 408, and the like are performed. In this initialization process, selectable music, which will be described later, is initialized.

  In step 4003, it is determined whether or not the timer variable is 10 or more. This process is repeated until the timer variable becomes 10. When the timer variable becomes 10 or more, the process proceeds to step 4005.

  In step 4005, 0 is assigned to the timer variable.

  In step 4007, command processing is performed. In the command processing, the CPU 404 of the first sub control unit 400 determines whether a command is received from the main control unit 300.

  In step 4009, effect control processing is performed. For example, if there is a new command in step 4007, processing corresponding to this command is performed. This process includes, for example, performing a process such as reading effect data from the ROM 406 and performing an effect data update process when the effect data needs to be updated. This effect control process will be described later with reference to FIG.

  In step 4011, sound control processing is performed based on the processing result in step 4009. For example, if there is a command to the sound source IC 418 in the effect data read in step 4009, this command is output to the sound source IC 418.

  In step 4013, lamp control processing is performed based on the processing result of step 4009. For example, if there is a command to the various lamps 420 in the effect data read in step 4009, this command is output to the drive circuit 422.

  In step 4017, an information output process is performed for setting to transmit a control command to the second sub-control unit 500 based on the processing result of step 4009. For example, if there is a control command to be transmitted to the second sub-control unit 500 in the effect data read in step 4009, the control command is set to be output, and the process returns to step 4003.

  Next, a command reception interrupt process of the first sub control unit 400 will be described with reference to FIG. This command reception interrupt process is a process executed when the first sub-control unit 400 detects a strobe signal output from the main control unit 300. In step 5001 of the command reception interrupt process, the command output from the main control unit 300 is stored in the command storage area provided in the RAM 408 as an unprocessed command.

  Next, the first sub control unit timer interrupt process executed by the CPU 404 of the first sub control unit 400 will be described with reference to FIG. The first sub-control unit 400 includes a hardware timer that generates a timer interrupt at a predetermined cycle (in this embodiment, once every 2 ms), and the timer interrupt process is performed by using the timer interrupt as a trigger. Execute in the cycle.

  In step 6001, 1 is added to the value of the timer variable storage area of the RAM 408 described in step 4003 in the first sub-control unit main process shown in FIG. 12A, and the result is stored in the original timer variable storage area. Therefore, in step 4003, the value of the timer variable is determined to be 10 or more every 20 ms (2 ms × 10).

  In step 6003, various update processes are performed. Transmission of a control command to the second sub-control unit 500 set in step 4017, update processing of a random number for production, and the like are performed.

  In the present embodiment, when the power is turned on, the information on the music that has been released when the power is turned off (the music that can be selected by the player to be output to the slot machine 100) is cleared, and the release condition (the player selects All the songs other than the songs whose “conditions that can be selected” are “always selectable” are changed to a non-selectable state. However, the present invention is not limited to this. It is good also as a structure which clears all the information of the music open | released only when predetermined time is exceeded.

  In this embodiment, when a setting change operation is performed, a command including setting value information is transmitted from the main control unit 300 at the timing when the setting change operation is completed, and is managed by the first sub control unit 400. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, every time the power is turned on, a command including setting value information is transmitted from the main control unit 300. It may be configured to execute a process of rewriting the information of the setting value managed by the first sub control unit 400.

  FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing the flow of the effect control process in step 4009 of FIG.

  In step 4101, it is determined whether a betting number setting command has been accepted. If accepted, the process proceeds to step 4102, and if not accepted, the process proceeds to step 4103.

  FIG. 14 is a flowchart showing a flow of processing at the time of accepting a betting number setting command in step 4102 of FIG.

  In step 4201, it is determined whether it is the first bet number setting command reception. If the first bet number setting command is accepted, the process proceeds to step 4202, and if the first bet number setting command is not accepted, the process proceeds to step 4206.

  In step 4202, it is determined whether or not the music selection flag is on. If the music selection flag is on, the process proceeds to step 4203. If the music selection flag is not on, the process proceeds to step 4206. The music selection flag is a flag for determining whether or not music selection by the effect button 701 is possible.

  In step 4203, effect button invalidation control is performed.

  In step 4204, the value of the music selection counter is stored in a register. Since there is a case where the initial cursor position is aligned with the previously selected music, it is necessary to save the information of the selected music when the music is selected, and this saving processing is performed in step 4204.

  In this embodiment, since the initial cursor position at the time of the first BB winning before the music is released is set to music 1, the initial value of the register is set to “value corresponding to music 1”. Yes.

  In step 4206, other betting number setting command reception processing is executed, and the processing is terminated.

  FIG. 15 is a flowchart showing the flow of the process at the time of receiving a winning determination command in step 4106 of FIG.

  In step 4301, it is determined whether or not a BB winning is achieved. If it is BB winning, the process proceeds to step 4302, and if it is not BB winning, the process proceeds to step 4304.

  In step 4302, BB winning effect execution control is performed. That is, a predetermined effect is executed by the liquid crystal display device 157, the speakers 272, 277, etc. so as to be executed when winning a BB. If the BB winning effect is executed before the BB winning effect is executed, the BB winning effect is executed without executing the BB winning effect. Set it to off.

  In step 4303, it is determined whether or not the BB winning effect reservation flag is on. If the BB winning effect reservation flag is on, the process proceeds to step 4306. If the BB winning effect reservation flag is not on, the process proceeds to step 4307.

  In step 4305, the reserved BB winning effect is executed, and then the process proceeds to step 4306.

  In step 4306, the BB winning effect reservation flag is set to OFF, and then the process proceeds to step 4307.

  In step 4307, other winning determination command reception processing is executed, and thereafter the processing is terminated.

  FIG. 16 is a flowchart showing a flow of processing at the time of game end processing command reception in step 4107 of FIG.

  In step 4401, it is determined whether or not a BB winning is achieved. If it is BB winning, the process proceeds to step 4402, and if it is not BB winning, the process proceeds to step 4408.

  In step 4402, the value of the effect synchronization timer is acquired. This effect synchronization timer is a timer for executing a BB winning effect.

  In step 4403, step 4403 is repeated until the effect synchronization timer becomes 0, and if the effect synchronization timer becomes 0, the process proceeds to step 4404.

  In step 4404, music selection effect execution control is performed. The music selection effect is an effect that causes the player to select a music, as will be described later with reference to FIG.

  In step 4405, an initial cursor position setting process is performed. This initial cursor position setting process will be described later with reference to FIG.

  In step 4406, effect button validation control is performed. As will be described in detail later, in this embodiment, music selection is performed by the effect button 701, and music determination is performed by a betting number setting operation. When the effect button 701 is operated while the effect button 701 is enabled, the cursor position may be shifted by one to switch the selected music piece. Further, when the operation button 701 is operated in a state where the effect button 701 is enabled, the selected music may be switched by switching the displayed music name. Note that music selection may be performed using a button other than the effect button 701, and music determination may be performed using the effect button 701.

  In step 4408, it is determined whether the RB has ended. If the RB has ended, the process proceeds to step 4409. If the RB has not ended, the process proceeds to step 4411.

  In step 4409, it is determined whether the RT RB flag is ON. If the RT RB flag is on, the process proceeds to step 4410. If the RT RB flag is not on, the process proceeds to step 4407.

  In step 4410, the RT RB flag is set to OFF. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step 4407.

  In step 4411, it is determined whether the BB is completed. If the BB has ended, the process proceeds to step 4412. If the BB has not ended, the process proceeds to step 4407.

  In step 4412, it is determined whether the value of the register is 5. If the register value is 5, the process proceeds to step 4413. If the register value is not 5, the process proceeds to step 4414.

  In step 4413, the 爺 RT effect execution control is performed. That is, an effect in which the character “爺” appears is executed. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step 4407.

  In step 4414, it is determined whether the value of the register is 4 or less. If the register value is 4 or less, the process proceeds to step 4415. If the register value is not 4 or less, the process proceeds to step 4416.

  In step 4415, the master RT effect execution control is performed. That is, an effect in which the character “dono” appears is executed. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step 4407.

  In step 4416, princess RT effect execution control is performed. That is, an effect in which the character “princess” appears is executed. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step 4407.

  Information indicating the music selected at the time of winning the BB is stored in the register. Since the RT effect after the end of the BB changes according to the music selected at the time of winning the BB, it is necessary to set the RT effect from the information stored in the register at the end of the BB.

  As will be described later, since the information stored in the register at the second and subsequent BB winnings is used, the information stored in the register is not deleted here.

  In step 4407, other game end command reception processing is executed, and then the processing ends.

  FIG. 17 is a flowchart showing a flow of initial cursor position setting processing in step 4405 of FIG.

  In step 4501, it is determined whether or not the music 2 release flag is on. If the music 2 release flag is on, the process proceeds to step 4502, and if the music 2 release flag is not on, the process proceeds to step 4505.

  When a plurality of music pieces are released at the same time, the initial cursor position is determined by giving priority to the one with the lowest music order (number).

  In step 4506, 3 is set in the music selection counter. Then, it progresses to step 4503.

  In step 4507, it is determined whether the music 4 release flag is on. If the music 4 release flag is on, the process proceeds to step 4508, and if the music 4 release flag is not on, the process proceeds to step 4509.

  In step 4508, 4 is set in the music selection counter. Then, it progresses to step 4503.

  In step 4509, it is determined whether or not the song 7 release flag is on. If the music 7 release flag is on, the process proceeds to step 4510. If the music 7 release flag is not on, the process proceeds to step 4511.

  In step 4510, 7 is set in the music selection counter. Then, it progresses to step 4503.

  In step 4511, it is determined whether the BB is the first time after the power is turned on. If the BB is the first BB after the power is turned on, the process proceeds to step 4512. If not the first BB after the power is turned on, the process proceeds to step 4513.

  If there is no release of music from the previous BB, the initial cursor position is set for the previously selected music.

  If no music is released from the previous BB and there is no previous BB (the first BB after power-on and no special card is ejected at the RB), the initial cursor position is set for the music 1.

  In step 4512, 1 is set in the music selection counter. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step 4504.

  In step 4513, the value stored in the register is set in the music selection counter. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step 4504.

  Since the information indicating the previously selected music is stored in the register, the initial cursor position is set here based on the information stored in the register.

  In step 4503, the music release flag set to on is set to off. That is, when BB is won in a state where any of the music release flags is on, the music release flag is turned off in accordance with the music of which the initial cursor position is released, and then the process proceeds to step 4504.

  In step 4504, the value stored in the register is deleted. Thereafter, the process ends.

  In this embodiment, since the register value is not used after the initial cursor position setting process, the register value is deleted in the initial cursor position setting process. However, for example, the music is determined in this BB. It is also possible to rewrite the register value at the timing.

  In step 4605, it is determined whether an RB game is being played. If the RB game is being played, the process proceeds to step 4606, and if the RB game is not being played, the process proceeds to step 4607.

  In step 4606, card effect processing is executed. This card effect process will be described later with reference to FIG. After the card effect process, the process proceeds to step 4607.

  FIG. 19 is a flowchart showing the flow of the BB internal winning process in step 4602 of FIG.

  In step 4701, it is determined whether it is RT5. If it is RT5, the process proceeds to step 4702, and if not RT5, the process proceeds to step 4710.

  In step 4702, a BB winning effect lottery process corresponding to the selected RT is executed.

  In the present embodiment, a setting suggestion effect that suggests which setting among the settings 1 to 6 shown in FIG. 7 is the current setting is executed. This setting suggestion effect is shown in FIG. ) Of “the selection probability of the effect executed at the time of the internal winning of the BB during RT”.

  Of setting 1 to setting 6, setting 1, setting 2 and setting 3 are relatively low player settings, so they are called low settings, and setting 4, setting 5 and setting 6 are relatively players. Since this is a setting with a high degree of advantage, it is called high setting.

  As shown in “Open condition of each song” in FIG. 23C, Tono RT corresponds to song 1, song 2, song 3, and song 4, 爺 RT corresponds to song 5, and princess RT corresponds to song 6. , Corresponding to song 7. When the player operates the effect button 701 to select one of the music pieces, any one of Tono RT, Samurai RT, and Princess RT corresponding to the music piece is executed as the setting suggestion effect. As shown in FIG. 23 (c), music 1, music 5, and music 6 can always be selected, but the other music 2, music 3, music 4, and music 7 are open for each. If the condition is not met, it will not be released (cannot be selected).

  In step 4703, the winning BB winning effect is reserved.

  In step 4704, the BB winning effect reservation flag is turned on.

  In step 4705, it is determined whether or not the music piece 3 has been released. If music 3 has been released, the process proceeds to step 4707, and if music 3 has not been released, the process proceeds to step 4706.

  In step 4706, the music 3 release flag is set to ON.

  In step 4707, it is determined whether the room is RT. If so, the process proceeds to step 4708. If not RT, the process ends.

  In step 4708, it is determined whether the music piece 2 has been released. If the music 2 has been released, the process ends. If the music 2 has not been released, the process proceeds to step 4709.

  FIG. 21 is a flowchart showing the flow of the card effect process in step 4606 of FIG.

  In step 4901, it is determined whether the RT RB flag is ON. If the RT RB flag is on, the process proceeds to step 4902. If the RT RB flag is not on, the process proceeds to step 4903.

  In step 4902, 2 is added to the card lottery execution counter. Thereafter, the process proceeds to Step 7904.

  In step 4903, 1 is added to the card lottery execution counter. Thereafter, the process proceeds to Step 7904.

  In step 4904, it is determined whether the card lottery execution counter is 2. If the card lottery execution counter is 2, the process proceeds to step 4905, and if the card lottery execution counter is not 2, the process ends.

  In step 4905, a card lottery is executed.

  In this embodiment, when an RB is won during RT, one card lottery (a lottery based on “each card selection probability in RB” in FIG. 23B) is executed per 1G (game). When RB is won in the gaming state (RT0), the card lottery is executed once per 2G (game). However, the present invention is not limited to this, and how often the card lottery is executed. It may be, and a card lottery may not be performed during RB.

  In the present embodiment, the reason why the card lottery is performed during the RB is that the RB is won by giving the opportunity to obtain the information of the setting guess element even in the RB that does not shift to the replay high probability state after the bonus. This is to reduce regret.

  In step 4906, it is determined whether the result of the card lottery is a special card (1) (shown as “special 1” in FIG. 23B). If the card lottery result is a special card (1), the process proceeds to step 4907, and if the card lottery result is not a special card (1), the process proceeds to step 4909.

  In step 4907, it is determined whether or not the music piece 4 has been released. If music 4 has been released, the process proceeds to step 4912, and if music 4 has not been released, the process proceeds to step 4908.

  In step 4908, the music 4 release flag is set to ON, and the flow advances to step 4912.

  In step 4909, it is determined whether the result of the card lottery is a special card (2) (denoted as “special 2” in FIG. 23B). If the card lottery result is the special card (2), the process proceeds to step 4910. If the card lottery result is not the special card (2), the process proceeds to step 4912.

  In step 4910, it is determined whether the music piece 7 has been released. If music 7 has been released, the process proceeds to step 4912, and if music 7 has not been released, the process proceeds to step 4911.

  In step 4911, the music piece 7 release flag is set to ON, and the flow advances to step 4912.

  In step 4912, 0 is set in the card lottery execution counter, and the process ends.

  FIG. 22 is a flowchart showing a flow of the processing at the time of receiving the effect button operation in step 4111 in FIG.

  In step 5001, it is determined whether or not the effect button 701 is valid. If the effect button 701 is valid, the process proceeds to step 5002, and if the effect button 701 is not valid, the process ends.

  In step 5002, 1 is added to the music selection counter.

  The music selection counter is based on each music, and the music in the BB is selected based on the value of the music selection counter when the betting number setting operation is performed in a state where the music selection counter is not 0. Is done.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 23 (c), an opening condition is set for each piece of music. For example, even if an attempt is made to select the piece 2 without satisfying the opening condition of the piece 2, the next piece cannot be selected. It is a mechanism to select music. In the initial state, only three types of music 1, music 5, and music 6 can be selected, and when the operation of the effect button 701 is performed while music 1 is selected, music 5 is selected. Migrate to

  In step 5003, it is determined whether or not the music selection counter is 9. If the music selection counter is 9, the process proceeds to step 5004. If the music selection counter is not 9, the process proceeds to step 5005.

  In step 5004, 1 is set in the music selection counter.

  In step 5005, it is determined whether the selected music has been released. If the selected music has been released, the process ends. If the selected music has not been released, the process proceeds to step 5002.

  FIG. 23A is a diagram illustrating a table of “selection probabilities of effects executed at the time of BB internal winning during RT”, and FIG. 23B illustrates a table of “respective card selection probabilities during RB”. FIG. 23C is a diagram showing a table of “open conditions for each music piece”.

  In FIG. 23 (c), when the music 1, 2, and 3 assigned to the lord RT are selected, as shown in FIG. 23 (a), an “odd setting suggestion” effect (FIG. 24 (a)). (Refer to FIG. 24 (b)). Further, as shown in FIG. 23A, in the case of an odd setting (settings 1, 3, 5), “odd setting suggestion” is selected with a probability of 70%, and “even setting suggestion” is selected with a probability of 30%. Selected. In the case of an even setting (settings 2, 4, and 6), “odd setting suggestion” is selected with a probability of 30%, and “even setting suggestion” is selected with a probability of 70%.

  In FIG. 23 (c), when the music 5 assigned to 爺 RT is selected, as shown in FIG. 23 (a), the effect of “setting 6 confirmed” (see FIG. 24 (d)) or “ An effect of “other than setting 6 fixed” (see FIG. 24C) is executed. Further, as shown in FIG. 23A, in the case of settings 1, 2, 3, 4, 5), “other than setting 6 fixed” is selected with a probability of 100%. In the case of setting 6, “setting 6 confirmed” is selected with a probability of 10%, and “other than setting 6 confirmed” is selected with a probability of 90%.

  In FIG. 23 (c), when the music pieces 6 and 7 assigned to the princess RT are selected, as shown in FIG. 23 (a), the effect of “low setting suggestion” (see FIG. 24 (e)). Alternatively, the effect of “high setting suggestion” (see FIG. 24F) is executed. Further, as shown in FIG. 23A, when the setting is low (setting 1, 2, 3), “low setting suggestion” is selected with a probability of 80%, and “high setting suggestion” is selected with a probability of 20%. Is done. In the case of a high setting (settings 4, 5, and 6), “low setting suggestion” is selected with a probability of 30%, and “high setting suggestion” is selected with a probability of 70%.

  In this embodiment, as an effect capable of recognizing the first information and the second information, an effect corresponding to the set value high (“high setting suggestion” even in the case of the set value low (settings 1, 2, 3). ") May be executed, and even when the set value is high (settings 4, 5, and 6), an effect corresponding to the low set value (" low setting suggestion ") may be executed. For example, when the set value is low, an effect corresponding to the set value high is not always executed, and when the set value is high, an effect corresponding to the set value low is not always executed. Good.

  Also, in this embodiment, the production state (donor) that is the initial cursor position at the time of the first selection is a production state in which the production suggesting an odd number / even number of the set value can be executed. The content of the suggestion executed in the effect state that is the initial cursor position at the time of the first selection is not limited to this.

  In addition, by adopting the configuration as in the present embodiment, the limitation of the odd number / even number of the setting value is a limitation including both the setting value advantageous to the player and the setting value disadvantageous to the player, so the game is started. It becomes easy to prevent the situation where only the player immediately stops the game.

  In this embodiment, as can be seen with reference to FIG. 23B, the special 2 card (special card (2)) can be selected only at the high setting (settings 4, 5, and 6). Yes.

  As shown in FIG. 23 (c), in the present embodiment, as a condition for releasing the music, a state in which any RT that performs BB consecutive play in a state where a specific RT effect is selected is selected. There are four types of opening conditions that can be broadly divided into regular opening and watching special effects during RB, always open, but not limited to this, for example, BB consecutive resort at all RTs It is also possible to set the release condition to BB consecutively with a plurality of RTs, and the release condition may be anything.

  Alternatively, all the music pieces may be always open (the number of selectable music pieces does not vary).

  FIG. 24A is a diagram showing the effect of “odd setting suggestion”, FIG. 24B is a diagram showing the effect of “even setting suggestion”, and FIG. FIG. 24D is a diagram showing an effect of “setting 6 confirmation”, and FIG. 24E is a diagram showing an effect of “low setting suggestion”. FIG. 24F is a diagram showing the effect of “high setting suggestion”. These effects are displayed on the effect image display device 157, for example.

  In the invention according to the present embodiment, for example, a predetermined operation (e.g., production) by the player as to which of the first production state (e.g. Tono RT) or the second production state (e.g. Princess RT) is set. It is possible to set the information according to the selection of the music with the button 701, and the predetermined information (for example, the set value) is the first information (for example, the odd number / even number of the set value) and the second information (for example, the set value). In the first performance state, the first information can be acquired, and the second information cannot be acquired.

  Further, the story may increase up to the upper limit according to the number of BB wins, and the composition may not be released unless a predetermined condition is satisfied. The predetermined conditions for releasing the music include, for example, “BB predetermined number of times”, “BB1 game series”, “BB winning during predetermined RT”, “BB winning within 100G after BB winning”, “In RB” Various conditions such as “special card discharge” can be set according to the music.

  If the SBB was selected last time, the initial cursor position may be SBB regardless of whether or not the MBB music is released when the current BB is won. When a new story is released, it starts from the state where a new story is selected, and when there is no new story release (BB winning when the story is released to the maximum number), the previously selected story is selected You may make it start from.

  If MBB was selected last time, the initial cursor position may be MBB regardless of whether or not the story is released when this BB is won. When only one new song is released, it starts from the state of selecting the released song, and when a plurality of new songs are released, the song that is the highest in the predetermined order information ( In the embodiment of FIG. 23, start from a state in which “song with the smallest number of ○ of“ music ○ ”” is selected, and start from a state in which the previously selected music is selected if there is no release of new music. Also good.

  Moreover, when SBB is selected, it always shifts to the same RT effect, and when MBB is selected, the RT effect that shifts according to the selected music may be different.

  The story may be released even if only the MBB is selected without selecting the SBB, and the song may be released even if only the SBB is selected without selecting the MBB. .

  Further, there is no operation for deciding whether to select SBB or MBB, and it is possible to change to selection of SBB after selecting and switching the music of MBB.

  Moreover, even if any SBB or any song of MBB is selected, all other choices of SBB and MBB may be displayed. For example, when selecting a song of MBB A configuration in which information regarding the SBB is not displayed may be used, or a configuration in which information regarding the MBB is not displayed when the story of the SBB is selected may be used.

  Further, “select previous SBB” may be set as a condition for releasing a story, and “select previous MBB” may be set as a condition for releasing a song.

  Further, the switching operation in a state where each option is selected is not limited to the configuration of the above-described embodiment.

  Further, although the present embodiment describes the case where the set value is 6 levels, the present invention is not limited to this, and the set value may be a plurality of levels, and is not limited to 6 levels.
