  The reset circuit 95 has a lower voltage for releasing the reset signal than the reset circuit 49 that gives the system reset signal to the main control unit 41 in the game control board 40. When the power is turned on, the sub control unit 91 It starts at an earlier stage than the unit 41. On the other hand, the power interruption detection circuit 98 has a voltage that outputs a voltage drop signal lower than the power interruption detection circuit 48 that outputs a voltage drop signal to the main control unit 41 in the game control board 40. The sub control unit 91 detects a power failure at a later stage than the main control unit 41, and performs a power interruption process (sub) described later.

  Similar to the main control unit 41, the sub control unit 91 has an interrupt function, generates an interrupt when receiving a command from the main control unit 41, and acquires a command transmitted from the main control unit 41. Execute command reception interrupt processing to be stored in the buffer. Further, the sub control unit 91 executes an interrupt process (sub), which will be described later, by generating an interrupt every time the input number of system clocks reaches a certain number, that is, every certain time interval (about 2 ms).

  Also, unlike the main control unit 41, the sub control unit 91 interrupts the process even when the timer interrupt process (sub) is being executed when an interrupt is generated based on the reception of the command. The command reception interrupt process is executed at the same time, and the command reception interrupt process is executed with the highest priority even if interrupts that trigger the timer interrupt process (sub) occur at the same time.

  The sub-control unit 91 is also supplied with backup power at the time of a power failure, and the data stored in the RAM 91c is held while the backup power is supplied.

  In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the medal payout rate changes according to the set value. Specifically, the medal payout rate is changed by using a winning probability corresponding to a set value in internal lottery, navigation stock lottery, and the like, which will be described later. The set value is composed of 6 levels of 1 to 6, with 6 being the highest payout rate and the payout rate being lower as the value is decreased in the order of 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. That is, when 6 is set as the set value, the advantage is highest for the player, and as the value decreases in order of 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, the advantage decreases stepwise.

  In order to change the setting value, it is necessary to turn on the power of the slot machine 1 after the setting key switch 37 is turned on. When the setting key switch 37 is turned on and the power is turned on, the setting value read from the RAM 41c is displayed as a display value on the setting value display 24, and the setting value can be changed by operating the reset / setting switch 38. Transition to the setting change state. When the reset / setting switch 38 is operated in the setting change state, the display value displayed on the setting value display 24 is updated one by one (when further operation is performed from the setting 6, the display returns to the setting 1). . When the start switch 7 is operated, the display value is determined as the set value. When the setting key switch 37 is turned off, the determined display value (setting value) is stored in the RAM 41c of the main control unit 41, and the state shifts to a state in which the game can proceed.

  In order to check the set value, after the game is over, the setting key switch 37 may be turned on in a state where the bet amount is not set. When the setting key switch 37 is turned on in such a situation, the setting value read out from the RAM 41c is displayed on the setting value display 24, thereby shifting to a setting confirmation state in which the setting value can be confirmed. In the setting confirmation state, the game cannot be progressed, and by setting the setting key switch 37 to the off state, the setting confirmation state is ended and the state in which the game can proceed is returned.

  In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not the voltage drop signal from the power interruption detection circuit 48 is detected every time the timer interruption process (main) is executed. When the determination process is performed and it is determined that the voltage drop signal is detected in the power failure determination process, a power interruption process (main) for setting data for determining whether or not the data in the RAM 41c is normal at the next return is performed. Run.

  Then, the main control unit 41 returns the processing state of the main control unit 41 to the state before the power interruption based on the data stored in the RAM 41c on the condition that the data in the RAM 41c is normal at the time of activation. However, if the RAM 41c data is not normal, it is determined that the RAM is abnormal, and the RAM abnormal error code is set in the register to control the RAM abnormal error state, thereby disabling the progress of the game.

  Further, the sub control unit 91 also determines whether or not the voltage drop signal from the power interruption detection circuit 98 is detected in the timer interruption process (sub), and when it is determined that the voltage drop signal is detected, A power interruption process (sub) for setting data for determining whether or not the data in the RAM 91c is normal at the next return is executed.

  Then, the sub-control unit 91 returns the processing state of the sub-control unit 91 to the state before the power interruption based on the data stored in the RAM 91c on the condition that the data of the RAM 91c is normal at the time of activation. However, if the data in the RAM 91c is not normal, it is determined that the RAM is abnormal, and the RAM 91c is initialized. In this case, unlike the main control unit 41, only the RAM 91c is initialized, and the performance is not disabled.

  In addition, even when it is determined that the data in the RAM 91c is normal at the time of activation, the sub control unit 91 activates when receiving a setting command (described later) indicating that the setting change state has been entered from the main control unit 41. Even when a later-described return command or setting command indicating that the control state of the main control unit 41 has returned is not received even after a certain period of time has elapsed, the RAM 91c is initialized. In this case, the execution of the performance is not disabled only by initializing the RAM 91c.

  Next, initialization of the RAM 41c of the main control unit 41 will be described. The storage area of the RAM 41c of the main control unit 41 is divided into an important work, a non-saved work, a general work, a special work, an unused area, and a stack area.

  In this embodiment, the main control unit 41 stores the data in the RAM 41c when a RAM abnormality error occurs, when the setting key switch 37 is activated with the setting key switch 37 turned on, when RT2 ends, and when the setting key switch 37 is activated with the setting key switch 37 turned off. When not being destroyed, when five initialization conditions at the end of one game are satisfied, four types of initializations that are initialized in accordance with each initialization condition are performed.

  Initialization 1 is an initialization performed when the setting key switch 37 is turned on at the time of startup and transitions to a setting change state, or initialization performed when a RAM abnormality error occurs. In the storage area of the RAM 41c, all areas (including the unused area and the unused stack area) except for the important work and the used stack area, that is, the area from the unsaved work to the unused stack area are initialized. The Initialization 2 is initialization performed at the end of RT2. In initialization 2, a general work, an unused area, and an unused stack area are initialized in the storage area of the RAM 41c. Initialization 3 is an initialization performed when the setting key switch 37 is off at the time of startup and the data in the RAM 41c is not destroyed. In the initialization 3, the unsaved work, the unused area, and the The used stack area is initialized. Initialization 4 is initialization performed at the end of one game. In initialization 4, an unused area and an unused stack area in the storage area of the RAM 41c are initialized.

  In this embodiment, initialization 1 is performed before the change of the setting change state. However, the initialization 1 is performed at the end of the setting change state, or both before the change of the setting change state and at the end of the setting change state. Anyway.

  The slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment has a predetermined number of bets that can be set according to the gaming state (RT0 to 3) (3 in any gaming state in this embodiment). The game can be started on condition that a specified number of bets determined according to the number of bets is set. In the present embodiment, the winning line LN is activated when a specified number of bets according to the gaming state are set.

  The slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment has a predetermined number of bets that can be set according to the gaming state (RT0 to 3) (3 in any gaming state in this embodiment). The game can be started on condition that a specified number of bets determined according to the number of bets is set. In the present embodiment, the winning line LN is activated when a specified number of bets according to the gaming state are set.

  Then, when all the reels 2L, 2C, 2R are stopped, the activated winning line (in the present embodiment, all the winning lines are always activated. Will be called a winning line), and a combination of symbols called “comb” will be awarded. The combination may be a combination of the same symbols or a combination including different symbols.

  The type of winning combination in a general slot machine is determined according to the gaming state, but it can be broadly divided into a small role with medal payout and the next game without the need to set the number of bets. There are a re-playing role that allows the player to start the game, and a special role that involves a transition to a gaming state that is advantageous to the player. Below, a small role and a re-playing role are collectively called a general role.

  In this embodiment, the special combination is not provided, and only the small combination and replay combination are subject to internal lottery and winning, but the special combination is provided and the special combination is subject to internal lottery and winning. It is good also as composition which becomes.

  In order for winning of each combination determined according to the gaming state to occur, it is necessary to win an internal lottery to be described later and set a winning flag of the combination in the RAM 41c.

  Of these winning flags for each winning combination, the winning flags for the small winning combination and the re-playing winning combination are valid only in the game in which the flag is set, and are invalid in the next game. In addition, in the case of a configuration having a special combination, the winning flag for the special combination is valid until the combination of combinations permitted by the flag is completed, and is invalid in a game having the combination of permitted combinations. . In other words, once the winning flag for a special role is won, even if the combination of characters allowed by the flag cannot be aligned, the winning flag is not invalidated and is carried over to the next game. It becomes.

  Hereinafter, the internal lottery of the present embodiment will be described. In the internal lottery, it is determined whether or not the above winning combination is permitted before the display results of all the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R are derived and displayed (actually, when the start switch 7 is detected). To do. In the internal lottery, first, a random value for internal lottery (an integer from 0 to 65535) is acquired when the start switch 7 is detected. Specifically, the value generated by the random number circuit 508b and stored in the random number value register of the random number circuit 508b is set as the lottery work assigned to the RAM 41c. And, for each combination determined according to the gaming state (RT type), it is determined according to the numerical data stored in the lottery work, the current gaming state (RT type), the number of bets and the set value. Whether or not winning is permitted is determined according to the number of determination values of each combination.

  In the internal lottery, a random number value for internal lottery (stored in the lottery work) is determined for the role that is the subject of the internal lottery, the current gaming state (current RT type), and the set value. When the result of addition overflows, it is determined that the winning combination is won. For this reason, a winning combination will be won with a probability (number of determination values / 65536) according to the number of determination values.

  If a winning combination of any combination is determined, a winning flag corresponding to the combination determined to be winning is set in the internal winning flag storing work assigned to the RAM 41c. The internal winning flag storage work consists of a 2-byte storage area, of which the upper byte is assigned as the special role storing work in which the winning flag for the special role is set, and the lower byte is the winning of the general role It is assigned as a general role storage work for which a flag is set. Specifically, when a special combination is won, a special combination winning flag indicating that the special combination is won is set in the special combination storing work, and the winning flag set in the general combination storing work is cleared. When a general combination is won, a winning flag for the general combination indicating that the general combination is won is set in the general combination storing work. If no winning combination is selected, only the general winning combination work is cleared. In the present embodiment, since the special combination is not provided, only the general combination storing work among the internal winning flag storing works is used. Moreover, the structure which does not provide a special role storing work may be sufficient.

  Further, in this embodiment, the number of determination values, which is the number of determination values determined to be winning, is determined for each lottery target role, and the number of determination values is sequentially added (subtracted) to the random number value for each lottery target role. In the case of overflow, the winning combination corresponding to the number of determination values is determined. However, for each lottery target role, a range of random values determined to be winning is determined, and the range to which the random value belongs It is good also as a structure which determines the winning of the role to perform.

  Next, stop control of the reels 2L, 2C, 2R will be described.

  The main control unit 41 refers to the table index and table creation data stored in the ROM 41b when the reel starts to rotate and when the reel stops and the reel that is still rotating still remains. A stop control table is created for each reel that is rotating. When any of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R corresponding to the rotating reel is effectively detected, the stop control table of the corresponding reel is referred to and the slip of the referred stop control table is referred to. Based on the number of frames, control is performed to stop the rotation of the reels 2L, 2C, 2R corresponding to the operated stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R.

  In the table index, an index that indicates the start address of the area in which the data for table creation is stored, from the reference address when referring to the table index, according to the setting state of the winning flag by internal lottery (hereinafter referred to as the internal winning state) Differences up to the address where the data is stored are registered. As a result, a difference corresponding to the internal winning state is acquired, and the corresponding index data can be acquired by adding the difference to the reference address. Even when the winning combinations are different, when the same control is applied, the same address is stored as the index data. In such a case, the same table creation data is referred to. Thus, a stop control table is created.

  The table creation data includes a stop control table indicating the number of sliding frames according to the stop operation position, and an address of the stop control table to be referred to according to the reel stop status.

  The stop control table referred to according to the reel stop status is whether all reels are rotating, only the left reel is stopped, only the middle reel is stopped, only the right reel is stopped, It may vary depending on whether the middle reel is stopped, the left and right reels are stopped, the middle and right reels are stopped, and if any reel is stopped, stop Since there may be differences depending on the stop position of the reels already completed, the address of the stop control table to be referenced for each situation is registered for each rotating reel, and based on the top address of the table creation data, It is possible to specify the address of the stop control table that should be referred to according to the status of the system. And to be able to identify the stop control table. Even when the reel stop status and the stopped position of the stopped reel are different, when the same stop control table is applied, the same address may be registered as the address of the stop control table. In such a case, the same stop control table is referred to.

  The stop control table is data that can specify the number of sliding frames for each timing when the stop operation is performed. In the present embodiment, a stepping motor that makes one turn at a cycle of 336 steps (0 to 335) is used for the reel motors 32L, 32C, and 32R. That is, when the reel motors 32L, 32C, and 32R are driven in 336 steps, the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R make one round. Then, 21 areas (frames) divided every 16 steps (the number of steps that one symbol moves) are defined for one reel, and these areas are areas 0 to 20 from the reel reference position. A number is assigned. On the other hand, the number of symbols arranged on one reel is 21, and symbol numbers 0 to 20 from the reel reference position are assigned to symbols on each reel, so symbols 0 to 20 are assigned to each reel. , Area numbers 0 to 20 are assigned in order. In the stop control table, the number of sliding symbols for each area number is compressed and stored according to a predetermined rule, and the number of sliding symbols for each area number can be acquired by expanding the stop control table. Yes.

  As described above, the stop control table created by referring to the table index and the table creation data corresponds to the area number, and the area corresponding to each area number is the stop reference position (in this embodiment, the perspective window 3). Sliding frame when an operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R is detected at a timing (a timing in which the number of steps from the reel reference position is included in the range of the number of steps of each region number). It is a table with each number set.

  Next, the procedure for creating the stop control table will be described. First, at the start of reel rotation, the top address of the table creation data corresponding to the internal winning state of the game is acquired. Specifically, the table index is first referred to, index data corresponding to the internal winning state is obtained, table creation data is identified based on the obtained index data, and all reels are identified from the identified table creation data. The address of the stop control table for each reel corresponding to the state of rotation is acquired, and the stop control table for each reel stored at the acquired address is expanded to generate a stop control table for all reels.

  Further, when any one reel stops or any two reels stop, the index data acquired at the start of reel rotation, that is, the top address of the table creation data corresponding to the internal winning state of the game The table creation data is identified based on the table creation data, and the stop control table address of the unreacted reel corresponding to the stopped reel and the area number of the stop position of the reel is obtained from the identified table creation data. The stop control table for each stored reel is expanded to create a stop control table for the unstopped reels.

  Next, when the main control unit 41 effectively detects any one of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R corresponding to the rotating reel, the control when the display result is derived to the corresponding reel is described. To explain, when any operation corresponding to the rotating reel is detected effectively among the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R, the stop operation position is based on the number of steps from the reel reference position when the stop operation is detected. The number of sliding symbols corresponding to the area number of the specified stop operation position is acquired by referring to the stop control table of the reel where the stop operation is detected. Then, control is performed to rotate and stop the reel by the number of acquired sliding frames. Specifically, from the number of steps from the reel reference position at the time when the stop operation is detected, the number of steps from the acquired number of sliding frames to the stop is calculated, and the reel is rotated and stopped by the calculated number of steps. Take control. As a result, the area corresponding to the area number that is the stop position ahead of the number of sliding frames from the area corresponding to the area number of the stop operation position where the stop operation is detected is the stop reference position (in this embodiment, the perspective window 3 It will stop in the lower symbol area).

  In the table index of this embodiment, only one address is stored as index data corresponding to one internal winning state in one gaming state (RT type), and further, one table creation data includes Only one address is stored as the address of the storage area of the stop control table corresponding to the stop status of one reel (and the stop position of the stopped reel). That is, the table creation data corresponding to one internal winning state in one gaming state (RT type) and the stop control table corresponding to the reel stop status (and the stopped position of the stopped reel) are uniquely determined. The stop control table created by referring to these is also unique for one internal winning state in one gaming state and the reel stop status (and the stop position of the stopped reel). For this reason, the same stop control table, that is, the same control when all of the gaming state (RT type), the internal winning state, and the reel stop status (and the stopped position of the stopped reel) are the same. The reel stop control is performed based on the pattern.

  Further, in this embodiment, a value of 0 to 4 is determined as the number of sliding frames, and it is possible to stop the reel by drawing in a maximum of 4 symbols after detecting a stop operation. In other words, the stop position of the symbol can be designated from a range of a maximum of 5 frames including the stop operation position where the stop operation is detected. In addition, since it is necessary to move one frame to move the reel for one symbol, it is possible to stop the reel by pulling in a maximum of four symbols after detecting the stop operation. The symbol stop position can be designated from a range of up to five symbols including the operation position.

  In this embodiment, when any of the winning combinations is won, the winning combination is drawn to the maximum in the range of 4 frames on the winning line, and the non-winning winning combination is drawn so that it is not aligned on the winning line. A stop control table with a defined number of frames is created and reel stop control is performed. If no winning combination is selected, a stop control table with a determined number of sliding symbols that do not have any combination And stop control of the reel. As a result, when a stop operation is performed, if the winning combination can be stopped on the winning line in the drawing range of up to 4 frames, the control is performed so that the winning combination is stopped. The combination that is not performed is stopped without being aligned in the drawing range of a maximum of 4 frames.

  In this embodiment, the special role is not provided. However, in the configuration having the special role, the special role and the small character are selected when the special role is won in a state where the special role is carried over from before the previous game. If a winning combination is won at the same time, the number of sliding symbols is set so that the winning winning combination is drawn to the winning line within a range of 4 frames, and the winning winning combination is a maximum of 4 on the winning line. For stop operation positions that cannot be drawn within the range of frames, a stop control table is created in which the number of sliding frames is determined so that the selected special role is drawn to the winning line within the range of 4 frames, and reel stop control is performed. Should be done. As a result, when a stop operation is performed, if it is possible to stop all the small roles that have been selected in the drawing range of up to 4 frames on the winning line and stop them, control is performed so that the winning combination is stopped. If you can't draw a small role that has been won in the drawing range of up to 4 frames on the line, if you can stop with a special role that has been won in the drawing range of up to 4 frames on the winning line, Control is performed to align and stop this, and the winning combination that has not been won is controlled to be stopped without being aligned in the 4-frame pull-in range. That is, in such a case, priority is given to the control for aligning the small combination on the winning line over the special combination, and the special combination can be won only when the small combination cannot be drawn. In the case where a special combination and a small combination can be withdrawn at the same time, only the small combination is drawn, and the small combination is not aligned on the winning line at the same time as the special combination.

  Also, when a special role and a small role are elected at the same time, priority is given to the control of aligning the special role on the winning line over the small role, and only when the special role cannot be drawn, the small role is placed on the winning line. You may perform control to align.

  In addition, in a configuration with a special role, if the special role and the re-playing role are won at the same time, such as when the re-playing role is won while the special role has been carried over from before the previous game, the stop operation When the game is performed, control may be performed so that the symbols of the re-gamer are aligned and stopped on the winning line within a drawing range of a maximum of 4 frames. In this case, the symbols constituting the re-gamer or the symbols constituting the re-gamer to be simultaneously elected are arranged at intervals of 5 symbols or less, that is, within 4 frames, for any of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R. Since it can always be stopped at any position within the 4-frame pull-in range, if the special combination and the re-playing combination are elected at the same time, the timing of the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R by the player Without fail, the re-playing role will always be won. That is, in such a case, the control for aligning the re-games on the winning line has priority over the special game, and the re-games will always win. In the case where the special combination and the re-playing combination can be withdrawn at the same time, only the re-playing combination is drawn in and the special combination is not arranged on the winning line at the same time as the re-playing combination.

  Further, in this embodiment, the reel stop control is performed using the stop control table that can specify the number of sliding frames at each timing when the stop operation is performed. A configuration that performs stop control by specifying the stop position from the table and stopping the reel at the specified stop position, and searching for a stop position that can be stopped when the stop operation is performed without using the stop control table or the stop position table. A configuration that performs stop control that identifies and stops the reel at the specified stop position, stop control using the stop control table, stop control using the stop position table, and can be stopped without using the stop control table or the stop position table Configuration that uses stop control together by searching and specifying the stop position, configuration that performs stop control by changing part of the stop control table and stop position table, and so on And it may be.

  In this embodiment, after the rotation of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R is started, the main control unit 41 rotates the reels for which the stop operation has not been detected yet until the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R is detected. Continuously, on the condition that the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R is detected, control is performed to stop the display result on the corresponding reel. Even if the reel rotation temporarily stops due to the occurrence of a reel rotation error, the stop operation is still detected until the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R is detected after the reel rotation is restarted. Control is performed to stop the display result of the corresponding reels on the condition that the rotation of the reels that have not been continued is continued and the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R is detected.

  In this embodiment, control is performed to stop the display result on the corresponding reel on condition that the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R is detected. However, the rotation of the reel is started. When a predetermined automatic stop time has elapsed, even if the reel stop operation is not performed, it is assumed that the stop operation has been performed, and automatic stop control is performed to automatically stop each reel. May be. In this case, since the reels are stopped without the player's operation, it is preferable to derive a display result that does not constitute any combination even if any combination is won.

  In the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 measures the game time, which is the time elapsed from the start of the reel rotation every time the reel starts rotating after the game starts. After a game is over, when a specified number of bets are set by inserting medals, etc., and the game start operation is enabled, the reel start of the previous game is started. If the game time that started timing from the time point is equal to or longer than a predetermined restriction time (4.1 seconds in this embodiment), that is, if the predetermined restriction time has elapsed since the reel rotation start time of the previous game, At that time, the reels in the game are started to rotate.

  On the other hand, after the end of one game, when a predetermined number of bets are set by inserting medals, etc., and when the game start operation is enabled, the reel rotation of the previous game is started. If the game time that started timing from the time is less than the predetermined regulation time, that is, if the predetermined regulation time has not elapsed since the reel rotation start time of the previous game, the reel rotation is not started at that time, It waits until the game time that has started timing from the start of reel rotation of the previous game reaches a predetermined regulation time, and when the predetermined regulation time is reached, rotation of the reel in the game is started.

  That is, when the predetermined regulation time has not elapsed since the start of reel rotation in the previous game, the main control unit 41 regulates the progress of the game until the predetermined regulation time elapses. The progress of the game is regulated so that the shortest time is not less than a predetermined regulation time.

  Next, commands that the main control unit 41 transmits to the sub control unit 91 will be described.

  In the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 sends to the sub-control unit 91 an inserted number command, a credit command, an internal winning command, a freeze command, a reel rotation start command, a reel stop command, a simultaneous operation command, a winning number command, a payout A plurality of types of commands including a start command, a payout end command, a return command, a gaming state command, a standby command, a stop command, an error command, a return command, a setting command, a setting confirmation command, a door command, and an operation detection command are transmitted.

  These commands consist of 1-byte type data indicating the command type and 1-byte extension data indicating the command content, and the sub-control unit 91 can determine the command type from the type data.

  The inserted number command is a command that can specify the number of inserted medals, that is, the number of medals used for setting the number of bets, and is a state from the end of the game (after changing the setting) to the start of the game. Or, when a prescribed number of bets is not set, a medal is inserted, or when the bet number is set by operating the MAXBET switch 6. The inserted number command is transmitted when the betting number setting operation is performed, so that it is possible to specify that the betting number setting operation has been performed by receiving the inserted number command.

  The credit command is a command that can specify the number of medals stored as credits, and is a state from the end of the game (after changing the setting) to the start of the game. Sent when a medal is inserted and credits are added.

  The internal winning command is a command that can specify the internal lottery result, and is transmitted when the start switch 7 is operated to start the game. Further, since the internal winning command is transmitted when the start switch 7 is operated, it is possible to specify that the start switch 7 has been operated by receiving the internal winning command.

  The freeze command is a command that can specify the type of freeze (control state in which the progress of control is delayed for a predetermined time), the start of freeze, and the time controlled by freeze, and is transmitted at the start of freeze.

  The reel rotation start command is a command for notifying the start of reel rotation, and is transmitted when rotation of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R is started.

  The reel stop command is a command that can specify whether the reel to be stopped is the left reel, the middle reel, or the right reel, the area number of the corresponding reel stop operation position, and the area number of the corresponding reel stop position. And is transmitted each time stop control is performed in accordance with the stop operation of each reel. Since the reel stop command is transmitted when the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are effectively operated, any of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R is effectively operated by receiving the reel stop command. Can be identified.

  The simultaneous operation command is a command that can specify that the operation of any one of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R is simultaneously detected, and the operation of any one of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R is performed simultaneously. Can be sent when detected.

  The winning number command is a command that can specify the combination of symbols aligned on the winning line LN, whether or not a winning is received, the type of winning, and the number of medals to be paid out at the winning. Sent after.

  The payout start command is a command for notifying the start of payout of medals, and is transmitted when the payout of medals is started by paying out a prize or credit (including medals used for setting the number of bets). The payout end command is a command for notifying the end of payout of medals, and is transmitted when the payout of medals by winning and winning a credit is completed.

  The return command is a command indicating that the main control unit 41 has returned to the control state before the power interruption, and is transmitted when the main control unit 41 returns to the control state before the power interruption.

  The gaming state command is a command that can specify the gaming state (any one of RT0 to RT3) of the next game, and is transmitted at the end of the game.

  The standby command is a command indicating a transition to the standby state, and after one game is over, a credit (which was used for setting the bet number) is set when the transition to the standby state is made after a predetermined time without setting the bet number. (Including medals) is sent out after the medal payout is completed and the payout end command is sent.

  The stop command is a command indicating the occurrence or release of the stop state, and after RT2, the stop command indicating the occurrence of the stop state is transmitted when the stop state starts, and the reset operation is performed and the stop command is performed. When the stop state is released, a stop command indicating the release of the stop state is transmitted.

  An error command is a command that indicates the occurrence or cancellation of an error condition and the type of error condition. When an error is determined and controlled to the error condition, an error command indicating the occurrence and type of the error condition is sent and reset. When the error state is canceled after the operation is performed, an error command indicating the cancellation of the error state is transmitted.

  The setting command is a command that indicates the start or end of the setting change state and the setting value after the setting change. When the setting change state is entered, a setting command that indicates the start of the setting change state is transmitted, and when the setting change state ends. A setting command indicating the end of the setting change state and the setting value after the setting change is transmitted. Further, since the control state of the main control unit 41 is initialized with the transition to the setting change state, it can be specified that the control state of the main control unit 41 has been initialized by the setting command indicating the start of setting. .

  The setting confirmation command is a command that indicates the start or end of the setting confirmation state. A setting confirmation command that indicates the start of setting confirmation is transmitted when entering the setting confirmation state, and the setting confirmation end is indicated when the setting confirmation state ends. A confirmation command is sent.

  The door command is a command indicating the detection state of the door opening detection switch 25, that is, on (open state) / off (closed state), when the power is turned on, at the end of one game (after the game is over, the bet number of the next game) Sent before the setting of ”can be started), and when the detection state of the door opening detection switch 25 changes (from on to off, from off to on).

  The operation detection command is a command indicating the detection state (on / off) of the operation switches (MAXBET switch 6, start switch 7, stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R), and is transmitted at regular intervals.

  Of these commands, commands other than the door command and the operation detection command are generated in the basic process, and the command data in the command buffer assigned to the non-initialized area is updated to the newly generated command data, and the serial communication circuit The data is transmitted to the sub-control unit 91 by being transferred to the transmission data register 561 of 511.

  On the other hand, the door command is generated in the door monitoring process of the timer interrupt process (main), temporarily stored in the command queue provided in the RAM 41c, and transmitted in the subsequent command transmission process of the timer interrupt process (main). Is done.

  The operation detection command is generated based on the detection state of the switch every time the command transmission process of the timer interrupt process (main) is executed 10 times, and transferred to the serial communication circuit 511, so that It is transmitted to the control unit 91.

  Next, the control of the effect performed by the sub-control unit 91 based on the command transmitted from the main control unit 41 to the effect control board 90 will be described.

  When the sub control unit 91 receives a command from the main control unit 41, the sub control unit 91 executes a command reception interrupt process. In the command reception interrupt process, the command acquired from the command transmission line is stored in the reception buffer provided in the RAM 91c.

  The reception buffer is provided with an area capable of storing a maximum of 16 commands so that a plurality of commands can be accumulated.

  In the timer interrupt process (sub), the sub-control unit 91 determines whether or not an unprocessed command is stored in the reception buffer. If an unprocessed command is stored, the sub-control unit 91 is the earliest. The control pattern table stored in the ROM 91b is referred to based on the command received in the stage, and the liquid crystal display 51, effect effect LED 52, speakers 53, 54, reel LED 55, etc. are controlled based on the control contents registered in the control pattern table. Performs output control of various rendering devices.

  In the control pattern table, the display pattern of the liquid crystal display 51 corresponding to the type of command, the lighting mode of the lighting effect LED 52, the output mode of the speakers 53 and 54, the lighting mode of the reel LED, etc. Control patterns of these effect devices are registered, and when the sub-control unit 91 receives a command, the sub-control unit 91 stores the control patterns registered corresponding to the effect patterns set in the RAM 91c in the game of the control pattern table. Among these, the control pattern corresponding to the type of the received command is referred to, and the output control of the rendering device is performed based on the control pattern. Thereby, the production according to the production pattern and the progress of the game is executed.

  If the sub-control unit 91 receives a new command during execution of an effect triggered by the reception of a certain command, the sub-control unit 91 stops the effect based on the control pattern being executed, and changes to the newly received command. An effect based on the corresponding control pattern is executed. In other words, even if the production is not finished to the end, when a new command is received, the production that was being executed is canceled and a new command is received unless the received new command is not a command that triggers a new production. An effect based on the command is executed.

  When the internal winning command is received, the effect pattern is selected at a selection rate corresponding to the result of the internal lottery indicated by the internal winning command, and is set in the RAM 91c. The selection rate of the effect pattern is registered in the effect table stored in the ROM 91b, and when the sub control unit 91 receives the internal winning command, the sub control unit 91 stores the effect pattern in the effect table according to the result of the internal lottery indicated by the internal winning command. With reference to the registered selection rate, one of the effect patterns is selected from a plurality of types of effect patterns according to the selection rate, and the selected effect pattern is set in the RAM 91c as the effect pattern of the game. Even if the same command is received, a different control pattern is selected depending on the effect pattern selected when the internal winning command is received. As a result, different effects may be performed depending on the effect pattern.

  6 to 8 are diagrams for explaining the types of winning combinations, the symbol combinations of winning combinations, and technical matters related to winning combinations. FIG. 9 is a diagram for explaining the transition of the gaming state controlled by the main control unit 41, and FIG. 10 is a diagram showing an outline of the gaming state and RT.

Has been placed. For this reason, it can be said that, in principle, when the promotion replay 2 is won in an internal lottery to be described later, it can be said that, as a rule, it can be awarded regardless of the operation timing of the stop switches 8L to 8R.

  As shown in FIG. 9, after winning a promotion replay (promotion replay 1 or promotion replay 2) in RT1, it is controlled to RT0. As will be described later, the promotion replay is set to win only in the internal lottery at RT1. As a result, it is configured so that it is not controlled to RT0 from other than RT1, and it is configured to receive a promotion replay prize only when it is RT1 and to be controlled to RT0 only from that RT1.

  The special replay is awarded when a combination of “bell-replay-replay” and “bell-replay-plum” is arranged on the winning line LN. In the left reel 2L, the bell is arranged within 5 frames, in the middle reel 2C, the replay is arranged within 5 frames, and in the right reel 2R, one of the replays and plums is arranged within 5 frames. ing. Therefore, as a general rule, special replays can be said to be a role that can be awarded regardless of the operation timing of the stop switches 8L to 8R if they are elected.

  As shown in FIG. 9, after winning the special replay at RT0, it is controlled to RT2. As will be described later, the special replay is set not to win in the internal lottery in RT1, RT2, and RT3. For this reason, no special replay is won in RT1, RT2, RT3. As a result, it is configured not to be controlled from RT1 and RT3 to RT2, and special replay is awarded only when RT0, and is configured to be controlled by RT2 only from RT0.

  Special replays include "Replay-White BAR-Black 7", "Replay-White BAR-Net 7", "Replay-White BAR-White 7", "Replay-White BAR-Plum", "Replay-" "Black BAR-Black 7", "Replay-Black BAR-Net 7", "Replay-Black BAR-White 7", "Replay-Black BAR-Plum", "Plum-White BAR-Black 7", "Plum-White" "BAR-net 7", "Plum-White BAR-White 7", "Plum-White BAR-Plum", "Plum-Black BAR-Black 7", "Plum-Black BAR-Net 7", "Plum-Black BAR" -Winner is awarded when any combination of “White 7” and “Plum-Black BAR-Plum” is prepared.

In the following, these combinations are referred to as “BAR-BAR-BAR” combinations or BAR alignments unless it is necessary to distinguish between them.

  In the left reel 2L, replay and plum are arranged within 5 frames, in the middle reel white BAR and black BAR are arranged within 5 frames, and in the right reel 2R black 7, net 7, white 7. Plums are arranged within 5 frames. For this reason, when a special replay is won in an internal lottery to be described later, in principle, it can be said that the winning can be made regardless of the operation timing of the stop switches 8L to 8R.

  Next, the transition outcome will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 8, the transition items are “replay-white BAR-bell”, “replay-black BAR-bell”, “plum-white BAR-bell”, “plum-black BAR-bell”, “replay”. -Bell-White BAR, Replay-Bell-Black BAR, Plum-Bell-White BAR, Plum-Bell-Black BAR, Black 7-White BAR-White BAR, Black 7-White "BAR-black BAR", "black 7-black BAR-white BAR", "black 7-black BAR-black BAR", "white 7-white BAR-white BAR", "white 7-white BAR-black BAR", "White 7-Black BAR-White BAR", "White 7-Black BAR-Black BAR", "Watermelon-White BAR-White BAR", "Watermelon-White BAR-Black BAR", "Watermelon-Black BAR-White BAR" ”,“ Watermelon-Black BAR-Black BAR ”. In this embodiment, left bells 1 to 4, middle bells 1 to 4 and right bells 1 to 4 which will be described later are elected, and the upper bells which are elected as the first stop other than the reels which are the winning conditions for the middle bell When the game is missed, the above-mentioned transition outcome is aligned with the winning line LN.

  As shown in FIG. 9, after the transition outcomes are aligned on the winning line LN in RT0, RT2, and RT3, control is performed to RT1. Note that RT1 is maintained when the transition outcomes are aligned with the winning line LN at RT1.

  Next, with reference to FIGS. 11 to 13, combinations of lottery object combinations that are read out as lottery object combinations for each gaming state will be described. In this embodiment, depending on whether the gaming state is RT0, RT1, RT2, or RT3, the winning combination and the winning probability thereof are different. As will be described later as a lottery target combination, a plurality of winning combinations can be read out simultaneously and can be won in duplicate. In FIG. 11 to FIG. 13, “+” is written between winning winning combinations to indicate that the winning combination is simultaneously read out in the internal lottery.

  In FIG.11 and FIG.12, a lottery object combination is shown in a vertical column, and a game state is shown in a horizontal column. In the column where the gaming state intersects with the lottery target, a circle indicates that the lottery target is read out in the gaming state, and a cross indicates the lottery target when in the gaming state. This indicates that the combination is not read out, that is, it is not a lottery target.

  Further, the numerical value shown below the circle indicates the number of determination values of a predetermined set value (for example, set value 1). An internal lottery is performed using the number of determination values. The denominator of the number of determination values is set to “65536” corresponding to a random number for internal lottery (an integer from 0 to 65535). For this reason, for example, the winning probability of the lottery subject for which “360” is set as the number of determination values is 360/65536.

  Moreover, FIG.11 and FIG.12 has shown the combination of the combination read as a lottery object combination for every gaming state.

  When it is RT0, the bell, the left bell 1, the left bell 2, the left bell 3, the left bell 4, the middle bell 1, the middle bell 2, the middle bell 3, the middle bell 4, the right bell 1, the right bell 2, and the right bell 3 , Right bell 4, weak watermelon, strong watermelon, weak cherry, strong cherry, middle cherries, one piece, normal replay, replay GR11, replay GR12, replay GR13, replay GR21, replay GR22, replay GR23 are eligible for internal lottery It becomes.

  When it is RT1, bell, left bell 1, left bell 2, left bell 3, left bell 4, middle bell 1, middle bell 2, middle bell 3, middle bell 4, right bell 1, right bell 2, right bell 3 , Right bell 4, weak watermelon, strong watermelon, weak cherry, strong cherry, middle tier cherry, 1 part, normal replay, replay GR1, replay GR2, replay GR3, replay GR4, replay GR5, replay GR6 are eligible for internal lottery It becomes.

  When it is RT2, the bell, the left bell 1, the left bell 2, the left bell 3, the left bell 4, the middle bell 1, the middle bell 2, the middle bell 3, the middle bell 4, the right bell 1, the right bell 2, and the right bell 3 , Right bell 4, weak watermelon, strong watermelon, weak cherry, strong cherry, middle cherries, one-piece combination, normal replay, and special replay are subject to internal lottery.

  When it is RT3, bell, left bell 1, left bell 2, left bell 3, left bell 4, middle bell 1, middle bell 2, middle bell 3, middle bell 4, right bell 1, right bell 2, right bell 3 , Right bell 4, weak watermelon, strong watermelon, weak cherry, strong cherry, middle cherries, one-piece combination, normal replay will be the subject of internal lottery.

  As shown in FIG. 13, the weak cherry is the lower cherry alone, and the strong cherry is the lower cherry plus one piece. During the weak cherry win, the strong cherry win is controlled so that the “black BAR” can be stopped at the bottom of the left reel when the left reel is stopped at a timing that is within the “black BAR” pull-in range. However, when a weak cherry is won, the “bell” is controlled to stop at the middle stage of the middle reel, whereas the strong cherry is “black BAR” or “white BAR” at the middle stage of the middle reel. Is controlled to stop.

  Therefore, when the stop operation is performed with the left reel as the first stop, when the cherry stops at the lower stage of the left reel 2L, the “bell” stops at the middle stage of the middle reel, or “black BAR” or “ Depending on whether the “white BAR” stops, it can be recognized whether it is a weak cherry or a strong cherry.

  In the following, a stop mode in which “cherry” stops at the lower stage of the left reel and “black BAR” or “white BAR” stops at the middle stage of the middle reel is referred to as strong cherry eyes, and “cherry” appears at the lower stage of the left reel. Is stopped, and the stop mode in which the “bell” stops at the middle stage of the middle reel is called weak cherry eyes.

  A weak watermelon is a middle-stage watermelon + right-down watermelon + upper-stage watermelon, and a strong cherry is a middle-stage watermelon + right-down watermelon + upper-stage watermelon + 1 sheet. When winning a weak watermelon, it is possible to win a middle watermelon, a right-down watermelon, and an upper watermelon, but when a weak watermelon is won, it will be at the timing of the pull-in range of both the right-down watermelon and the upper watermelon. When the stop operation of each reel is performed, control to stop the combination of right-down watermelon is performed, but when strong watermelon is won, each reel has a timing that is the drawing range of both right-down watermelon and upper watermelon. When the stop operation is performed, the control for stopping the combination of the upper watermelon is performed.

  For this reason, when each reel stop operation is performed at the timing that is in the pull-in range of both the right-down watermelon and the upper-stage watermelon, it is a weak watermelon depending on whether the right-down watermelon wins or the upper watermelon wins Or whether it is a strong watermelon.

  The bell is a middle bell + a downward-sloping bell. Left bell 1 is right falling bell 5 + upper bell 5 + upper bell 8, left bell 2 is right falling bell + upper bell 6 + upper bell 7, and left bell 3 is right falling bell + upper bell 2 + upper bell 3, left bell 4 is right falling bell + upper bell 2 + upper bell 4. The left bells 1 to 4 are also simply called left bells. The middle bell 1 is the middle bell + the upper bell 2 + the upper bell 5, the middle bell 2 is the middle bell + the upper bell 1 + the upper bell 6, and the middle bell 3 is the middle bell + the upper bell 4 + the upper bell. 7 and the middle bell 4 is the middle bell + the upper bell 3 + the upper bell 8. The middle bells 1 to 4 are also simply called middle bells. The right bell 1 is the middle bell + the upper bell 3 + the upper bell 5, the right bell 2 is the middle bell + the upper bell 1 + the upper bell 7, and the right bell 3 is the middle bell + the upper bell 4 + the upper bell. 6 and the right bell 4 is the middle bell + the upper bell 2 + the upper bell 8. The right bells 1 to 4 are also simply called right bells. The left bells 1 to 4, the middle bells 1 to 4, and the right bells 1 to 4 are also simply referred to as push order bells.

  The promotion replay is promotion replay 1 + promotion replay 2.

  Replay GR1 is normal replay + promotion replay 1, replay GR2 is normal replay + promotion replay 1 + promotion replay 2, replay GR3 is normal replay + promotion replay 1 + lower replay, and replay GR4. Is normal replay + promotion replay 1 + promotion replay 2 + lower replay, replay GR5 is normal replay + promotion replay 2, and replay GR6 is normal replay + promotion replay 2 + lower replay.

  The replay GR11 is a fall replay + normal replay, the replay GR12 is a fall replay + normal replay + lower replay, and the replay GR13 is a fall replay + normal replay + promotion replay 1.

  The replay GR21 is special replay + normal replay, the replay GR22 is special replay + normal replay + lower replay, and the replay GR23 is special replay + normal replay + promotion replay 1.

  Thus, depending on whether the gaming state is RT0-3, the regamer that is subject to the internal lottery differs, and depending on whether it is RT0-3, the target regamer and its An internal lottery is performed using lottery tables with different winning probabilities.

  In this embodiment, when a plurality of types of re-game players are won at the same time, as shown in FIG. 14, a re-game player determined according to the types of re-game players won at the same time and the stop operation order is won. Control is performed so that the line is stopped within a maximum of 4 frames on the line. FIG. 14 is a diagram for explaining reel control when a plurality of replays are won simultaneously.

  When the replay GR1 (normal replay + promotion replay 1) is won and the stop operation is performed in the order of middle left and right, the combination of the promotion replay 1 among the selected replay players is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped. When the control is performed and the stop operation is performed in an order other than the left middle right, the control is performed so that the combination of the normal replays is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped.

  When replay GR2 (normal replay + promotion replay 1 + promotion replay 2) is won and the stop operation is performed in the order of left and right, the combination of promotion replay 1 among the selected replay players is aligned with the winning line LN Control to stop is performed, and when stop operation is performed in an order other than left and right middle, control is performed to align the combination of normal replays to the winning line LN and stop.

  If Replay GR3 (Normal Replay + Promotion Replay 1 + Lower Replay) is won and the stop operation is performed in the middle left or right order, the combination of Promotion Replay 1 among the selected replay players will be aligned to the winning line LN and stopped. When the stop operation is performed in an order other than middle left and right, control is performed so that the combination of normal replays is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped.

  If Replay GR4 (Normal Replay + Promotion Replay 1 + Promotion Replay 2 + Lower Replay) is won and a stop operation is performed in the middle right / left order, the combination of Promotion Replay 1 among the selected replaying players is placed on the winning line LN When the stop operation is performed in an order other than middle right and left, the control is performed so that the combination of the normal replays is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped.

  When replay GR5 (normal replay + promotion replay 2) is won and stop operation is performed in the order of the middle left and right, the combination of the promotion replay 2 among the selected replay players is stopped in line with the winning line LN When the stop operation is performed in an order other than the middle right and left, control is performed so that the combination of normal replays is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped.

  When Replay GR6 (Normal Replay + Promotion Replay 2 + Lower Replay) is won and the stop operation is performed in the order of middle right and left, the combination of Promotion Replay 2 of the selected replaying players is aligned with the winning line LN Control to stop is performed, and when stop operations are performed in an order other than right center left, control is performed to align the normal replay combination with the winning line LN and stop.

  As shown in FIG. 3, since the symbols constituting the promoted replay 1, the promoted replay 2 and the normal replay, the left reel 2L, the middle reel 2C, and the right reel 2R are all arranged within 5 frames, the order of the stop operation is adopted. Thus, the reel control is performed so that the promotion replay 1, the promotion replay 2 or the normal replay always wins regardless of the stop operation timing of the stop switches 8L to 8R.

  In this way, different operation modes are set as the operation modes for allowing the replays GR1 to 6 to win the promoted replays 1 and 2.

  For this reason, if one of the replays GR1 to 6 is won in RT1 where the replays GR1 to 6 are subject to internal lottery, the promotion replay will be won with a probability of 1/6, and the transition to RT0 Become.

  When replay GR11 (falling replay + normal replay) is won and the stop operation is made in the order of left middle right or left and right, that is, when the left reel is set to the first stop, Control to stop the replay combination in line with the winning line LN, and stop the stop replay combination in line with the winning line LN when the stop operation is performed in an order other than left middle right and left and right middle. Do.

  If Replay GR12 (Tumble Replay + Normal Replay + Lower Replay) is won and the stop operation is performed in the order of middle left / right or middle right / left, that is, if the middle reel is set to the first stop, Control to stop the regular replay combination aligned with the winning line LN, and stop when the stop replay combination is aligned with the winning line LN when the stop operation is performed in an order other than middle left and right and middle right left I do.

  If replay GR13 (falling replay + normal replay + promotion replay 1) is won and the stop operation is made in the order of right / left / middle / right / left / left, that is, if the right reel is set to the first stop, the replay won If the combination of regular replays in the combination is stopped in line with the winning line LN, and the stop operation is performed in an order other than the middle left and right middle left, then the falling replay combination is aligned with the winning line LN. Control to stop.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the symbols constituting the fall replay and the normal replay are arranged within 5 frames in all of the left reel 2L, the middle reel 2C, and the right reel 2R. Regardless of the stop operation timing of 8L to 8R, the reel control is performed so that the fall replay or the normal replay always wins.

  In this way, different operation modes are set as operation modes for avoiding the fall replay between the replays GR11 to GR13.

  For this reason, if one of the replays GR11 to 13 is elected at RT0 where the replays GR11 to 13 are the targets of the internal lottery, the normal replay wins with a probability of 1/3, and the transition to RT1 can be avoided. Then, the fall replay wins with a probability of 2/3 and shifts to RT1.

  When replay GR21 (special replay + normal replay) is won and the stop operation is performed in the order of left middle right or left and right, that is, when the left reel is set to the first stop, the special replaying player selected Control to stop the replay combination aligned with the winning line LN, and control to stop the normal replay combination aligned with the winning line LN when the stop operation is performed in an order other than left center right and left and right center. Do.

  If Replay GR22 (Special Replay + Normal Replay + Lower Replay) is won and the stop operation is performed in the order of middle left / right or middle right / left, that is, when the middle reel is set to the first stop, The special replay combination is controlled to stop in line with the winning line LN, and when the stop operation is performed in an order other than middle left and right and middle right and left, the normal replay combination is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped. Take control.

  When replay GR23 (special replay + normal replay + promoted replay 1) is won and the stop operation is performed in the order of right / left middle or right / middle / left, that is, when the right reel is set to the first stop, the replay selected The special replay combination of the combination is controlled so as to be stopped on the winning line LN, and when the stop operation is performed in the order other than the middle left and right, the normal replay combination is aligned with the winning line LN. Control to stop.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the symbols constituting the special replay and the normal replay are arranged within 5 frames in all of the left reel 2L, the middle reel 2C, and the right reel 2R. Regardless of the stop operation timing of 8L to 8R, reel control is performed so that special replay or normal replay always wins.

  Thus, different operation modes are set as operation modes for winning special replays with the replays GR21 to GR23.

  For this reason, if any one of the replays GR21 to 23 is elected at RT0 in which the replays GR21 to 23 are the targets of the internal lottery, the special replay wins with a probability of 1/3 and shifts to RT2.

  Next, when a plurality of types of small combinations are won simultaneously, as shown in FIG. 15, a maximum of four small combinations determined according to the types of small combinations that are simultaneously selected and the order of stop operations are displayed on the winning line. Control is performed so that the frames are stopped within the frame drawing range. FIG. 15 is a diagram for explaining reel control when a plurality of small combinations are won simultaneously.

  If left bell 1 (lower right bell + upper bell 6 + upper bell 7) wins and the stop operation is performed by pressing to the left, the combination of right down bells of the selected small roles is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped. When the stop operation is performed by middle pressing or right pressing, control is performed so that any combination of the upper bell 6, the upper bell 7, or the transition outcome is aligned with the winning line LN.

  If left bell 2 (lower right bell + upper bell 5 + upper bell 8) is elected and stopped by left-pressing, the combination of right-down bells in the selected small role is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped. When a stop operation is performed by middle pressing or right pressing, control is performed so that any combination of the upper bell 5, the upper bell 6 or the transitional outcome is aligned with the winning line LN.

  If left bell 3 (lower right bell + upper bell 2 + upper bell 3) is elected and the stop operation is performed by pressing the left button, the right falling bell combination of the selected small roles is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped. When the stop operation is performed by middle pressing or right pressing, control is performed such that any combination of the upper bell 2, the upper bell 3, or the transition outcome is aligned with the winning line LN.

  If left bell 4 (lower right bell + upper bell 2 + upper bell 4) is elected and the stop operation is performed by pressing the left button, the combination of the right falling bells of the selected small roles is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped. When the stop operation is performed by middle pressing or right pressing, control is performed so that any combination of the upper bell 2, the upper bell 4, or the transitional outcome is aligned with the winning line LN.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the configuration symbol of the right-down bell is arranged within 5 frames in all reels, and when the left bell 1 to 4 is elected, when the stop operation is performed by pushing left. Regardless of the timing of the stop operation, the right down bell is always controlled to be aligned with the winning line LN, while the symbols constituting the upper bells 1 to 8 are arranged at intervals of 5 frames or more on all reels. Even if the left bells 1 to 4 are elected, if the stop operation is performed by pressing the middle or right, an appropriate range that will be drawn in the constituent symbols of the elected upper bells 1 to 8 If the stop operation is not performed at the timing, the selected upper bell cannot be aligned with the winning line LN, and in this case, control is performed so that the shift outcome is aligned with the winning line LN.

  When middle bell 1 (middle bell + upper bell 2 + upper bell 5) is elected and the stop operation is performed by pressing the middle bell, the control of stopping the combination of the middle bells of the elected small roles with the winning line LN is stopped. If a stop operation is performed by left-pressing or right-pressing, control is performed so that any combination of the upper bell 2, the upper bell 5, or the transition outcome is aligned with the winning line LN.

  When middle bell 2 (middle bell + upper bell 1 + upper bell 6) is elected and the stop operation is performed by pressing the middle bell, the control of stopping the combination of the middle bells of the elected small roles with the winning line LN is stopped. If the stop operation is performed by pressing left or right, control is performed so that any combination of the upper bell 1, the upper bell 6, or the transition outcome is aligned with the winning line LN.

  When middle bell 3 (middle bell + upper bell 4 + upper bell 7) is elected and the stop operation is performed by pressing the middle bell, the control of stopping the combination of the middle bells of the elected small roles on the winning line LN is stopped. If a stop operation is performed by left-pressing or right-pressing, control is performed so that any combination of the upper bell 4, the upper bell 7, or the transition outcome is aligned with the winning line LN.

  When middle bell 4 (middle bell + upper bell 3 + upper bell 8) is elected and the stop operation is performed by pressing the middle bell, the control of stopping the combination of the middle bells of the elected small roles on the winning line LN is stopped. If a stop operation is performed by left-pressing or right-pressing, control is performed so that any combination of the upper bell 3, the upper bell 8, or the transition outcome is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the configuration symbol of the middle bell is arranged within 5 frames in all reels, and when the middle bell 1 to 4 is elected, when the stop operation is performed by middle push, Regardless of the timing of the stop operation, the control is always performed so that the middle bell is aligned with the winning line LN, while the symbols constituting the upper bells 1 to 8 are arranged at intervals of 5 frames or more on all reels. Therefore, even if the middle bells 1 to 4 are elected, if the stop operation is performed by pressing left or right, the appropriate timing that will be the drawing range of the constituent symbols of the elected upper bells 1 to 8 If the stop operation is not performed, the winning upper bell cannot be aligned with the winning line LN, and in this case, the control is performed so that the shift outcome is aligned with the winning line LN.

  When right bell 1 (middle bell + upper bell 3 + upper bell 5) is elected and the stop operation is performed by pressing right, the combination of middle bells of the selected small roles is stopped in alignment with the winning line LN. When a stop operation is performed by left-pressing or middle-pressing, control is performed so that any combination of the upper bell 3, the upper bell 5, or the transition outcome is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped.

  When right bell 2 (middle bell + upper bell 1 + upper bell 7) is elected and the stop operation is performed by pressing right, the combination of middle bells among the selected small roles is stopped in line with the winning line LN. When a stop operation is performed by left-pressing or middle-pressing, control is performed so that any combination of the upper bell 1, the upper bell 7, or the transition outcome is aligned with the winning line LN.

  When right bell 3 (middle bell + upper bell 4 + upper bell 6) is elected and a stop operation is performed by pressing right, the combination of middle bells among the selected small roles is stopped in alignment with winning line LN. When a stop operation is performed by left-pressing or middle-pressing, control is performed so that any combination of the upper bell 4, the upper bell 6, or the transitional outcome is aligned with the winning line LN.

  When right bell 4 (middle bell + upper bell 2 + upper bell 8) is elected and the stop operation is performed by pressing right, the combination of middle bells of the selected small roles is stopped in alignment with winning line LN. When a stop operation is performed by left-pressing or middle-pressing, control is performed so that any combination of the upper bell 2, the upper bell 8, or the transition outcome is aligned with the winning line LN.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the configuration symbols of the middle bell are arranged within 5 frames in all reels, and when the right bell 1 to 4 is elected, when the stop operation is performed by pushing right Regardless of the timing of the stop operation, control is always performed so that the middle bell is aligned with the winning line LN. On the other hand, the symbols constituting the upper bells 1 to 8 are arranged at intervals of 5 frames or more on all reels. Because there are places, even if the right bells 1 to 4 are elected, if the stop operation is performed by left-pressing or middle-pressing, at an appropriate timing that is the drawing range of the constituent symbols of the elected upper bells 1 to 8 If the stop operation is not performed, the winning upper bell cannot be aligned with the winning line LN, and in this case, the control is performed so that the shift outcome is aligned with the winning line LN.

  Thus, in this embodiment, when any of the left bell, middle bell, right bell, that is, the push order bell is won, by performing a stop operation in a specific operation mode according to the type of winning combination, While the right-down bell or middle bell always wins, if the stop operation is performed in an operation mode other than the specific operation mode according to the type of winning combination, the upper bell is aligned at 1/4, but at 3/4 In some cases, the upper bells are not aligned and the transition outcomes are aligned.

  For this reason, at the time of winning the push order bell, the expected value of the number of medals to be paid out can be changed depending on whether or not it is operated in a specific operation mode according to the type of winning combination. In other words, even if one of the push order bells is won, if the type of operation is not known, a specific operation mode cannot be intentionally selected. Can win a medal by surely winning a right-down bell or middle bell at a ratio of 1/11, but can only win an upper bell at 1/4 at a ratio of 10/11. It is not possible to win medals reliably. In addition, if the reels other than the left reel are set to the first stop when the push order bell is selected, a medal can be surely won by winning the right falling bell or middle bell at a ratio of 5/11. The upper bell can be won only at 1/4 at a ratio of 6/11, and medals can be obtained reliably. In particular, in RT0, 2, and 3, the transition to RT1 is performed when the transition point stops.

  Although not particularly shown, when a bell (middle bell + lower right bell) is won, a combination of “bell-bell-bell” is arranged on the winning line LN regardless of the stop order of the reels and the operation timing. To be controlled.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the gaming state is controlled to one of RT0 to RT3.

  RT0 shifts to when the promotion replay wins in RT1 (when any of the replays GR1 to GR6 wins in RT1 and the stop operation is performed in the order in which the promotion replay wins). Then, RT0 is terminated regardless of the number of games since transitioning to RT0, by transitioning to RT1 by winning a fall replay or stopping the transition, or by transitioning to RT2 by winning a special replay.

  The winning probability of the re-gamer in RT0 is about 1 / 2.08, and the payout rate of medals per game is 1 or more. As described above, only normal replays, replays GR11 to 13 and replays GR21 to 23 are targeted for internal lottery, and normal replays, falling replays, and special replays can be won.

  RT1 shifts when the transition is stopped at RT0, RT2, RT3, or when the fall replay wins at RT0. And RT1 is complete | finished when promotion replay wins and transfers to RT0.

  The winning probability of the re-gamer in RT1 is about 1 / 7.31, and the payout rate of medals per game is less than 1. As described above, only normal replays and replays GR1 to GR6 are targeted for internal lottery, and normal replays and promoted replays can win.

  RT2 shifts when a special replay wins at RT0. Then, RT2 ends when the transition point stops and shifts to RT1.

  The winning probability of the re-gamer in RT2 is about 1 / 1.37, and the payout rate of medals per game is 1 or more. As described above, only normal replays and special replays are subject to internal lottery, and normal replays and special replays can win.

  RT3 shifts after the setting is changed. Then, RT3 ends when the transition is stopped and the transition is made to RT1, regardless of the number of games since the transition to RT3.

  The winning probability of the re-gamer in RT3 is about 1 / 7.31, and the payout rate of medals per game is less than 1. As described above, only the normal replays are subject to internal lottery, and only the normal replays can win.

  RT0 and RT0 out of RT0-3 are more advantageous to the player than RT1 and 3 in that the winning probability of the re-gamer is high and the payout rate of medals per game is higher than RT1 and 3 It can be said that it is a state. Further, RT2 can be said to be more advantageous than RT0 in that the winning probability of the re-gamer is higher than RT0 and the medal payout rate per game is higher than RT0.

  In the slot machine according to the present embodiment, when the gaming state is RT0 to 3, the sub-control unit 91 performs an assist time (hereinafter referred to as AT) that is a notification period in which a navigation effect that notifies the internal lottery result can be executed. The production state can be controlled.

  Here, the transition state of the gaming state according to the present embodiment will be described. As shown in FIG. 9, the process shifts to RT3 after the setting is changed.

  In RT3, when the transition point stops, the process proceeds to RT1.

  In RT3, if any of the left bells 1-4, middle bells 1-4, right bells 1-4 is won and the small role cannot be won, the transitional outcome will stop, Transition to RT1 when any of the left bell 1-4, middle bell 1-4, right bell 1-4 is won and the small role cannot be won in RT3 after the setting change It becomes.

  At RT1, the game proceeds to RT0 when the promotion replay wins.

  Since the replays GR1 to 6 are elected at RT1 and the replay order is correct and the promoted replay is won, at RT1, the replays GR1 to 6 are elected and the answer is RT0 by correctly answering in the order of stoppage. Become.

  At RT0, the fall replay wins or the transition is stopped, the process shifts to RT1, and the special replay wins, the process shifts to RT2.

  If the replays GR11 to 13 are won at RT0 and the stop order is incorrect, the fall replay wins. In addition, when the replays GR21 to 23 are selected and the stop order is correct, the special replay is won. In addition, when one of the left bell 1 to 4, the middle bell 1 to 4, and the right bell 1 to 4 is won at RT 0 and the small role cannot be won, the transitional outcome stops. For this reason, at RT0, replays GR11-13 are won and the stop order is incorrect, or any of left bell 1-4, middle bell 1-4, right bell 1-4 is won, If it is not possible to win a prize, the process proceeds to RT1, and the replays GR21 to 23 are elected and the stop order is correct, so the process proceeds to RT2.

  In RT2, the transition is stopped and the transition to RT1 is made.

  In RT2, when any one of the left bells 1 to 4, the middle bells 1 to 4 and the right bells 1 to 4 is won and the small role cannot be won, the transitional outcome stops. For this reason, in RT2, if any one of the left bells 1 to 4, the middle bells 1 to 4 and the right bells 1 to 4 is won and the small role cannot be won, the process proceeds to RT1.

  If the sub-control unit 91 is controlled by an AT (ART) described later, the sub-control unit 91 performs a navigation effect by winning a navigation target combination corresponding to the gaming state. The navigation target combination corresponding to the gaming state is replay GR1 to 6 when RT1, and replay GR11 to 13 and replay GR21 to 23 when RT0. In both RT0, RT1, and 2, the push order bell is a common navigation target combination.

  The navigation effect of the present embodiment is performed by displaying a navigation image from the liquid crystal display 51 and outputting navigation sound from the speakers 53 and 54. For example, when the replay GR1 or the left bell is won as the navigation image, “123” (indicating that the reel 2L is the first stop, the reel 2C is the second stop, and the reel 2R is the third stop) or “132” A pressing order image indicating the pressing order of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R, such as the reel 2L is the first stop, the reel 2C is the third stop, and the reel 2R is the second stop, and the motif of the slot machine 1 And a character image tailored to. Also, as the navigation voice, for example, “left middle right!” (Reel 2L indicates the first stop, reel 2C indicates the second stop, reel 2R indicates the third stop) and “left and right middle!” (Reel 2L). Indicates the first stop, the reel 2C is the third stop, and the reel 2R is the second stop). Note that the navigation voice is output only from the stop switch that the player should press first or next. Therefore, if all the reels are rotating, for example, “Left!” Is output first. When the reel 2L is stopped, “Middle!” Is output next. When the reels 2L and 2C are stopped, "Right!" Is output. As for other target combinations, a navigation image corresponding to the selected target combination is displayed from the liquid crystal display 51 and a navigation sound is output from the speakers 53 and 54.

  As a navigation effect when winning replays GR1 to GR6, the stop order (see FIG. 14) for winning the promoted replay according to the winning situation is notified.

  As a navigation effect when the replays GR11 to 13 are won, a stop order (see FIG. 14) for avoiding the fall replay is notified according to the winning situation.

  As a navigation effect when the replays GR21 to 23 are won, a stop order (see FIG. 14) for winning a special replay according to the winning situation is notified.

  Further, as a navigation effect when one of the push order bells is won, a stop order (see FIG. 15) for surely winning the right-down bell or the middle bell is notified.

  As described above, in the navigation effect in the present embodiment, a message reminiscent of an operation mode advantageous to the player is notified in the same mode regardless of the type of the navigation target role. For this reason, the player can operate in an operation mode that is advantageous to the player without being conscious of the type of the winning navigation target combination.

  Then, by executing the navigation effect, it is possible to avoid the promotion replay winning, the special replay winning, and the bell winning that are intentionally won, the falling replay winning, and the stop of the transitional outcome.

  In addition, the aspect of a navigation effect is not restricted to such an aspect, What kind of thing may be sufficient if a player is distinguishable according to a winning condition. In addition, the navigation effect is not limited to what is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51, and may be executed using the effect effect LED 52, the speakers 53 and 54, the reel LED 55, and the like.

  In the present embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 performs a lottery role (in the present embodiment, a single bell (bell's single winning), weak watermelon, strong watermelon, weak cherry, strong cherry, middle cherry, Navistock lottery is performed to determine whether or not to control to ART (state controlled by AT in RT2) when winning a sheet, special replay). In the navigation stock lottery at the time of winning the target role, by determining the number of navigation stocks including 0, whether or not to give the number of navigation stocks and the number of navigation stocks are determined.

  The number of navigation stocks indicates the number of rights controlled by ART over a predetermined number of games (in this embodiment, the number of ART games determined by the main control unit at the start of one set of ARTs). By consuming (subtracting) the number of navigation stock by 1, the ART is controlled for a predetermined number of games, and a navigation effect is executed during that time. For this reason, it can be said that the greater the determined number of navigation stocks, the higher the degree of advantage for the player.

  In addition, when the number of navigation stocks remains and when the number of navigation stocks is newly acquired, the number of navigation stocks acquired this time is added to the remaining number of navigation stocks. In particular, in this embodiment, the navigation stock lottery is performed even in an additional state described later, and one or more navigation stocks are won, so that the number of navigation stocks won is added to the remaining number of navigation stocks. .

  Next, the flow of ART control performed by the sub-control unit 91 will be described.

  The sub-control unit 91 stores the number of navigation stocks in a predetermined area of the RAM 91c when one or more navigation stocks are determined in the navigation stock lottery. Then, based on the presence or absence of the navigation stock in the RAM 91c, it is specified whether or not to control to ART. When one or more navigation stocks remain, the control is performed by the AT after the ART winning notification is notified through the ART confirmation notification. This period controlled by the AT is called a preparation state.

  When the control of the ready state is started, the sub-control unit 91 executes a navigation effect when the target combination is won. First, after shifting to the preparation state, it is controlled by RT1, and during this time, the stop order in which the promotion replay is awarded when the replays GR1 to GR6 are won is notified by the navigation effect. As a result, by performing the stop operation in accordance with the notified stop order, the promoted replay wins and it is possible to shift from RT1 to RT0. If the promotion replay is not won as a result of performing the stop operation in a stop order different from the notified stop order, the control of the preparation state is also ended at that time.

  In addition, after starting the control in the ready state, the stop order for winning the bell is notified when the push order bell is won in any gaming state of RT0 to 2, so the stop operation is performed according to the notified stop order. Thus, it is possible to reliably acquire medals.

  After the promoted replay wins at RT1 and shifts to RT0, when the replays GR11 to 13 are elected, the stop order for avoiding the fall replay winning is notified by the navigation effect.

  By performing the stop operation in accordance with the stop order notified at the time of winning the replays GR11 to 13, it is possible to avoid the winning of the falling replay and to avoid the transition from RT0 to RT1. In addition, as a result of performing the stop operation in the stop order different from the notified stop order, when the fall replay wins and shifts to RT1, the preparation state control is also ended at that time.

  In addition, after the transition to RT0, when the replays GR21 to 23 are selected, the stop order in which the special replay is won is notified by the navigation effect.

  By performing a stop operation in accordance with the stop order notified at the time of winning the replays GR21 to 23, it becomes possible to win a special replay and shift from RT0 to RT2, and the special replay wins and shifts to RT2. ART will start. When the normal replay wins as a result of performing the stop operation in the stop order different from the notified stop order, the control in the preparation state is continued.

  When the special replay wins at RT0 and shifts to RT2, the navigation stock is subtracted by 1 at the start of the next game, and a predetermined number of games (50 games in this embodiment) as the remaining number of games in the ART 91c. And the counting of the number of remaining games in the ART is started with the start of the ART control.

  After starting ART with the transition to RT2, the number of remaining games of ART is decremented by 1 each time a game is started, and the target role of push order bell and Navistock lottery is won for each game. Whether the special replay has been won or not, and if the push order bell is won, a navigation effect for informing the stop order for winning the bell is executed. It is possible to win the bell by performing the stop operation in accordance with the stop order notified at the time of winning the pushing order bell, and it is possible to avoid the transition to RT1. In addition, as a result of performing the stop operation in the stop order different from the notified stop order, when the transition point stops and the process shifts to RT1, the ART control is also terminated at that time.

  In addition, during ART, if a winning combination (in this example, weak watermelon, strong watermelon, weak cherry, strong cherry, middle cherries, one-piece role, special replay) is selected outside the penalty period described later An extra lottery is performed to determine whether or not to add the number of ART games. In the extra lottery, by determining one of the number of games from a plurality of games including 0, whether or not to increase the number of ART games, and the number of games to be added are determined. When it is determined that the number of ART games is to be increased by adding lottery, the determined number of games is added to the remaining number of games in the RAM 91c.

  Further, during ART, when the target role of the navigation stock lottery is won, the navigation stock lottery is performed, and when one or more navigation stocks are won, the number of navigation stocks is added (added).

  Further, when the number of remaining games becomes 0 after subtracting the number of remaining ART games by 1 in each game after the start of ART, an ART end notification is performed.

  After the ART end notification, it is determined whether or not the navigation stock remains. If the navigation stock remains, the control of the ART is resumed after waiting for the start operation of the next game. On the other hand, if no navigation stock remains, the ART control is terminated. Then, with the end of the ART control, the navigation effect will not be executed even if the push order bell is won. Therefore, the possibility of stopping the transition is increased, and the transition to RT1 is stopped by stopping the transition. It becomes.

  Next, a penalty period in the sub control unit 91 will be described.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 12, the main control unit 41 receives the replays GR1 and 2 that will receive a promotion replay that will shift to RT0 in the order of stop in which the left reel is the first stop in RT1. The winning probability is set to be lower than the winning probabilities of replays GR3 to GR6 for which the promoted replay that shifts to RT0 in the order of stop with the middle reel or the right reel as the first stop is won. In addition, as shown in FIG. 11, the winning probability of the left bells 1 to 4 that makes it possible to reliably win a small combination in the order of stop where the left reel is the first stop is that the middle reel or the right reel is the first. It is set lower than the winning probabilities of the middle bells 1 to 4 and the right bells 1 to 4 in which the small combination can be reliably won in the order of stopping.

  On the other hand, the sub-control unit 91 is in the recommended stop order (in this embodiment, the left reel is the first stop) unless a navigation effect is executed in which the middle reel or the right reel is stopped for the first time due to AT, ART, etc. Stop order other than the stop order (stop order in which the left reel stops before the middle and right reel during rotation of all reels), that is, stop order in which the middle reel or the right reel is first stopped (all reels are rotating) In the stop order in which the middle reel or right reel is stopped before the left reel (hereinafter also referred to as irregular pressing), and when the promoted replay wins and moves to RT0, the special replay wins. When a transition is made to RT2, or when the middle or upper bell wins, that is, when an irregular push results in an advantageous result for the player, a certain period (10 games in this embodiment) is reached. To control the penalty period.

  Note that the sub-control unit 91 may execute a navigation effect even when it is not controlled by AT or ART, and a navigation effect that notifies the stop order in which the middle reel or the right reel is first stopped is executed. Therefore, when the stop operation is performed in the stop order in which the middle reel or the right reel is the first stop, the penalty period is not controlled.

  In the penalty period, the navigation stock lottery is not performed even if the conditions for the navigation stock lottery are satisfied. Further, during the penalty period, even if the conditions for the extra lottery are satisfied during ART, the extra lottery will not be performed.

  For this reason, even though RT1 is not in a ready state and no navigation effect is being executed, an irregular push, that is, a stop operation in a stop order other than the recommended stop order, is controlled during the penalty period, which is inconvenient for the player. Therefore, it becomes possible to prompt the player to perform a stop operation to stop the left reel as the first stop by this control, and thus RT0 is not controlled by the AT in RT1. It is possible to avoid shifting to RT2 or winning a small role with a high probability when winning the push order bell.

  In the present embodiment, in RT1, which occupies most of the game, the stop operation is performed in the stop order in which the middle reel is the first stop or the stop order in which the right reel is the first stop. Therefore, the player is more likely to stop in the stop order with the left reel as the first stop than when the player operates in the stop order with the middle reel as the first stop or in the stop order with the right reel as the first stop. It is designed so that the expected value of the game value that can be acquired in the game is increased. The expected value specified here is not the expected value of only one game in RT1, but the game that takes into consideration the granting of rights (navigator stock) to the ART obtained after that one game is also continued. Shows the expected value. Therefore, the player should perform the stop operation in the stop order in which the left reel is the first stop.

  In other words, in this embodiment, it becomes easy to shift to RT0 or RT2 having a high replay probability by pressing irregularly. However, since a penalty is incurred for granting the navigation stock, in RT1, the left reel is stopped in the first stop order. When the stop operation is performed, the expected value is higher for the player than when the stop operation is performed in the stop order in which the middle reel is the first stop or in the stop order in which the right reel is the first stop.

  As described above, in this embodiment, when the stop operation is performed in the stop order in which the left reel is the first stop, no penalty is given and the player is most advantageous to the player. Stop order to stop is set as the recommended stop order recommended for players

  In the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 performs a switch input determination process that determines whether or not the detection state of the switches has changed at regular time intervals in the timer interrupt process (main). When the detection state of the switch involved in the progress of the game changes in the current state and the operation of the switch is determined, control is performed to advance the game.

  FIG. 16 is a flowchart showing the control contents of the switch input determination process executed by the main control unit 41 every four times (2.24 ms) in the timer interrupt process (main).

  In the switch input determination process, the input data of each switch acquired through the parallel input port 511 described above is updated (Sk101), and the detection state indicated by the previously acquired input data and the detection state indicated by the input data acquired this time are displayed. It is determined for each switch whether or not they are the same (Sk102). If the detection state indicated by the previous input data and the detection state indicated by the current input data are not the same for all the switches, The corresponding edge data is cleared (Sk105), and the switch input determination process is terminated.

  On the other hand, when the detection state indicated by the previous input data and the detection state indicated by the current input data are the same for any switch in the step of Sk102, that is, the detection state is the same for 2.24 ms. In this case, the confirmed data of the corresponding switch is updated (Sk103). In step Sk103, the current confirmed data is moved to the previous confirmed data, and the detection state indicated by the input data determined to be the same as the previous is set as the current confirmed data.

  Next, it is determined whether or not the previous confirmed data after updating and the current confirmed data are the same for all switches (Sk104), and if the previous confirmed data and the current confirmed data are the same for all the switches. The edge data corresponding to all the switches is cleared (Sk105), and the switch input determination process is terminated.

  On the other hand, if the previous confirmed data and the current confirmed data are different in any one switch in the step of Sk104, whether the previous confirmed data and the current confirmed data are changed from off to on. (Sk106), if there is no switch changed from off to on, the process proceeds to step Sk108. If there is a switch changed from off to on, the rise indicating that the corresponding switch has changed from off to on After the edge is set (Sk107), the process proceeds to the step of Sk108.

  In the step of Sk108, it is determined whether or not the switch in which the final confirmed data and the final confirmed data have changed from on to off, and if there is no switch changed from on to off, the process proceeds to Sk110, and changes from on to off. If there is a switch, a falling edge indicating that the corresponding switch has changed from on to off is set (Sk109), and the process proceeds to Step S110.

  In the step of Sk110, it is determined whether or not there is a switch with the same final determination data and the final determination data. If there is no switch with the same final determination data and the final determination data, the switch input determination processing ends. If there is a switch in which the previous confirmed data and the current confirmed data are the same, only the edge data of the corresponding switch is cleared (Sk111), and the switch input determination process is terminated.

  In this way, the rising edge data or the falling edge data is set for the switch that has been operated for a certain period of time from the previous switch input determination process to the current switch input determination process, that is, 2.24 ms. Therefore, based on the set rising edge data and falling edge data, a change in the detection state of the switches in the basic process (for example, reel rotation process described later) (for example, in the reel rotation process described later, The change of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R from OFF to ON) can be determined. The switch determination process is sequentially executed for each switch including the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R, and the rising or falling edge data is set and cleared. For example, the middle stop switch and the right stop switch are simultaneously set. Edge data related to a plurality of switches can be set simultaneously, such as when the detection state changes.

  FIG. 17 is a flowchart showing the control contents of the reel rotation process executed by the main control unit 41.

  In the reel rotation process, first, it is determined whether or not a wait time (about 4.1 seconds in this embodiment) has elapsed since the reel rotation start time of the previous game (Si1), and the wait time must have elapsed. For example, it waits until the wait time elapses.

  If the wait time has elapsed in the Si1 step, a new wait time is set (Si2).

  Next, the reel motors 32L, 32C, and 32R corresponding to the reels 2L, 2C, and 2L are set to start rotation, and the rotation of each reel is started (Si3). As a result of the internal lottery, if any of the reels is stopped, the number of sliding symbols at each stop operation position is set for each rotating reel based on the stop control table specified according to the stop position of the stopped reel. The number of sliding frames to be set is performed (Si4), and the setting at the completion of stop preparation is performed (Si5). As a result, the stop operation can be validated, and then the stop operation becomes valid when the rotation speed of each reel reaches a constant speed.

  Next, it is determined whether any operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R is detected (Si6). Whether or not the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R is detected is determined by whether or not the rising edge of the corresponding stop switch is set. If no stop switch operation is detected in step Si6, it is determined whether a reel rotation error (an error determined when the reel reference position is not detected by the reel sensor 33 for a certain period or more) has occurred. If it is determined (Si7) and a reel rotation error has not occurred, whether an insertion error (an error determined when a medal insertion is detected outside the period during which the medal insertion is permitted) has occurred. And whether or not a payout error (error determined when a medal payout is detected outside the period during which medal payout is permitted) has occurred (Si8, Si9), and Si7 to Si9 If no occurrence of any error is determined in step S6, the process returns to step Si6.

  If it is determined in the Si8 step that an insertion error has occurred, or if a dispensing error is determined in the Si9 step, an error code indicating a loading / dispensing error during reel rotation is set in the register ( Si10) and shift to error processing (Si11). After the error is released, the process returns to the Si6 step.

  If it is determined in step Si7 that a reel rotation error has occurred, an error code indicating a reel rotation error is set in the register (Si12), and the process proceeds to error processing (Si13). Along with this, the rotation of the reels is also temporarily stopped. When the error is released, the process returns to the Si3 step to restart the reel rotation.

  On the other hand, if any stop switch operation is detected in step Si6, whether or not the stop switch 8R operation corresponding to the right reel is detected (the rising edge of the stop switch 8R is set). (Si14), and when the operation of the stop switch 8R corresponding to the right reel is detected, the number of steps (stop) from the reel reference position at that time for the reel motor 32R corresponding to the right reel. The number of steps to be the operation position) is acquired, and the acquired number of steps is set for the work corresponding to the right reel to be stopped (Si15).

  Further, in the step of Si14, when the operation of the stop switch 8R corresponding to the right reel is not detected, whether or not the operation of the stop switch 8C corresponding to the middle reel is detected (the rising edge of the stop switch 8C is (Si17), and if an operation of the stop switch 8C corresponding to the middle reel is detected, the reel reference at that time for the reel motor 32C corresponding to the middle reel is detected. The number of steps from the position (the number of steps to be the stop operation position) is acquired, and the acquired number of steps is set for the workpiece corresponding to the middle reel to be stopped (Si18).

  Further, in the step of Si17, when the operation of the stop switch 8C corresponding to the middle reel is not detected (when the rising edge of the stop switch 8L is set), it corresponds to the stop switch 8L corresponding to the left reel. For the reel motor 32L, the number of steps from the reel reference position at that time (the number of steps to be the stop operation position) is acquired, and the acquired number of steps is set for the work corresponding to the left reel to be stopped (Si19).

  Then, it is determined whether or not operations of a plurality of stop switches are detected simultaneously, that is, whether or not a plurality of rising edges corresponding to the stop switches are set (Si20). If multiple stop switch operations are detected at the same time, a simultaneous operation command indicating that multiple stop switches have been detected at the same time is set in the command queue, and then sub-control is performed in the timer interrupt process (main) 1 is added to the value of the simultaneous operation error counter indicating the number of times a plurality of stop switches are simultaneously detected (Si22), and the edge data of all stop switches is cleared (Si23). ). On the other hand, if the operation of a plurality of stop switches is not detected at the same time in step Si20, the edge data of all the stop switches is cleared without sending a simultaneous operation command or adding a simultaneous operation error counter. (Si23).

  After that, the stop operation position is set for the work in the step of Si15, Si18, or Si19, so that the corresponding reel stop control is performed in the subsequent timer interrupt process (main), and the stop The control waits until the reel stops rotating (Si24). After the corresponding reels are stopped, it is determined whether or not all the reels are stopped (Si25). If all the reels are not stopped, the process returns to the Si4 step while all the reels are stopped. For example, it is determined whether or not the value of the simultaneous operation error counter has reached a predetermined value (2 in this embodiment) (Si26).

  When the value of the simultaneous operation error counter does not reach the predetermined value, the reel rotation process is terminated. On the other hand, if the value of the simultaneous operation error counter has reached a predetermined value in the step of Si26, a simultaneous operation error code indicating a simultaneous operation error is set in the register (Si27), and the process proceeds to error processing. (Si28). In the error processing in step S28, an error command indicating that the error start and the error state type are simultaneous operation errors is set in the command queue and transmitted to the sub-control unit 91. Thereafter, the reel rotation process is terminated by releasing the error state.

  Thus, in the reel rotation process, after the rotation of the reels 2L, 2C, 2R is started, the rotation of the reels for which the stop operation is not detected is continued until the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R is detected. On the condition that the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R is detected, control is performed to stop the display result on the corresponding reel.

  Even if the reel rotation temporarily stops due to the occurrence of a reel rotation error, the stop operation is still detected until the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R is detected after the reel rotation is restarted. Control is performed to stop the display result of the corresponding reels on the condition that the rotation of the reels that have not been continued is continued and the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R is detected.

  Further, in the reel rotation processing, when any stop switch operation is detected, the stop switch 8R corresponding to the right reel, the stop switch 8C corresponding to the middle reel, and the stop switch 8L corresponding to the left reel are in order. By determining that the operation of the stop switch has been detected, the stop switch 8R corresponding to the right reel and the stop switch corresponding to the other reel (the stop switch 8L corresponding to the left reel, the stop corresponding to the middle reel) When the operation of the switch 8C) is detected at the same time, the operation of the stop switch 8R corresponding to the right reel is determined as an effective stop operation, and the operation of the other stop switches is not determined as an effective stop operation. Operation of the stop switch 8C corresponding to the reel and the stop switch 8L corresponding to the left reel If detected simultaneously, the operation of the stop switch 8C corresponding to the middle reel is determined as an effective stop operation, and the operation of the stop switch 8L corresponding to the left reel is not determined as an effective stop operation. . As a result, when multiple stop switch operations are detected simultaneously, only the stop operation by the stop switch corresponding to the reel having the highest priority in the priority order of the right reel, the middle reel, and the left reel is regarded as an effective operation. While receiving and controlling the stop of the reel corresponding to the stop operation, the stop operation by the stop switch corresponding to the other reels is not accepted as an effective stop operation, and the corresponding reel stop control is also not performed. Yes.

  Further, in the reel rotation process, when the operation of a plurality of stop switches is detected at the same time, a simultaneous operation command indicating that is transmitted to the sub-control unit 91. As will be described later, a specific warning is given when simultaneous operations are performed.

  In this embodiment, when the operation of a plurality of stop switches is detected at the same time, the value of the simultaneous operation error counter is added, and when the value of the simultaneous operation error counter reaches a predetermined value, the process proceeds to error processing. The progress of the game is disabled.

  Next, control related to the provision of a penalty in the sub-control unit 91 will be described with reference to FIG.

  In the present embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 is based on an internal winning command transmitted in the game for each game when the AT or ART is not controlled, or when the navigation effect is not executed other than AT or ART. Then, it is determined whether or not any of the push order bell, replay GR1 to 6, replay GR11 to 13, or replay GR21 to 23 has been won.

  When the push order bell is won, it is determined whether the middle reel or the right reel is the first stop based on the reel stop command received in the game, and the middle reel or the right reel is the first stop. If so, it is determined whether or not a plurality of stop switch operations have been simultaneously detected based on whether or not a simultaneous operation command has been received in the game.

  If operations of a plurality of stop switches are not detected at the same time, as shown in FIG. 19 (3-1), stop operations are performed in the recommended stop order (stop order in which the left reel is the first stop). Based on the winning number command received in the game after executing a normal penalty warning notification with a penalty screen and warning sound A output indicating that a penalty may be awarded if the recommended stop order is not followed To determine whether the middle or upper bell has won a prize. When the middle bell or the upper bell wins, the number of games controlled in the penalty period (10 games in this embodiment) is added.

  Even if the stop operation is not performed in the recommended stop order, the operation of multiple stop switches is not detected at the same time, and if neither the middle bell or the upper bell is won, a normal penalty warning is given. Only the notification is executed, and the number of games controlled in the penalty period is not added.

  Further, when the operation of a plurality of stop switches is detected at the same time, as shown in FIG. 19 (3-2), the stop operation is performed in the recommended stop order (stop order in which the left reel is the first stop). The penalty screen indicating that there is a possibility that a penalty may be given if the recommended stop order is not followed is the same as the normal penalty warning notification, but there are multiple notification modes in that the warning sound B is output. The simultaneous operation warning notification for notifying that the operations of the stop switches are simultaneously detected is executed, and the number of games controlled in the penalty period (10 games in this embodiment) is added.

  If multiple stop switch operations are detected at the same time, the number of games controlled during the penalty period will be determined in addition to the simultaneous operation warning notification regardless of whether the middle or upper bell is won. Is added.

  Further, when the replays GR1 to GR6 are won, it is determined whether the middle reel or the right reel is the first stop based on the reel stop command received in the game, and the middle reel or the right reel is the first stop. If so, it is determined whether or not a plurality of stop switch operations have been simultaneously detected based on whether or not a simultaneous operation command has been received in the game.

  If operations of a plurality of stop switches are not detected at the same time, as shown in FIG. 19 (3-1), a normal penalty warning notification is executed, and then based on the winning number command received in the game. To determine whether the promotion replay has won a prize. If the promotion replay wins, the number of games controlled in the penalty period (10 games in this embodiment) is added.

  Note that even if the stop operation is not performed in the recommended stop order, the operation of multiple stop switches is not detected at the same time, and the number of games controlled during the penalty period when the promotion replay is not won Is not added.

  If multiple stop switch operations are detected at the same time, as shown in FIG. 19 (3-2), the simultaneous operation warning notification is executed and the number of games controlled in the penalty period (this number) In the embodiment, 10 games) are added.

  In addition, when the operation of a plurality of stop switches is detected at the same time, the number of games controlled during the penalty period is added in addition to the simultaneous operation warning notification regardless of whether the promotion replay is won or not. .

  When the replays GR11 to 13 are selected, it is determined whether the middle reel or the right reel is the first stop based on the reel stop command received in the game, and the middle reel or the right reel is the first stop. If so, it is determined whether or not a plurality of stop switch operations have been simultaneously detected based on whether or not a simultaneous operation command has been received in the game.

  If operations of a plurality of stop switches are not detected at the same time, as shown in FIG. 19 (3-1), a normal penalty warning notification is executed, and then based on the winning number command received in the game. To determine whether or not a normal replay has been won. When the normal replay is won, the number of games controlled in the penalty period (10 games in this embodiment) is added.

  Note that even if the stop operation is not performed in the recommended stop order, the operation of a plurality of stop switches is not detected at the same time, and the number of games controlled during the penalty period when the normal replay is not won Is not added.

  If multiple stop switch operations are detected at the same time, as shown in FIG. 19 (3-2), the simultaneous operation warning notification is executed and the number of games controlled in the penalty period (this number) In the embodiment, 10 games) are added.

  In addition, when the operation of a plurality of stop switches is detected at the same time, the number of games controlled during the penalty period is added in addition to the simultaneous operation warning notification regardless of whether or not the normal replay is won. .

  When the replays GR11 to 13 are selected, it is determined whether the middle reel or the right reel is the first stop based on the reel stop command received in the game, and the middle reel or the right reel is the first stop. If so, it is determined whether or not a plurality of stop switch operations have been simultaneously detected based on whether or not a simultaneous operation command has been received in the game.

  If operations of a plurality of stop switches are not detected at the same time, as shown in FIG. 19 (3-1), a normal penalty warning notification is executed, and then based on the winning number command received in the game. To determine whether a special replay has been won. When the special replay is won, the number of games controlled in the penalty period (10 games in this embodiment) is added.

  Note that even if the stop operation is not performed in the recommended stop order, the operation of multiple stop switches is not detected at the same time, and if the special replay is not won, the number of games controlled during the penalty period Is not added.

  If multiple stop switch operations are detected at the same time, as shown in FIG. 19 (3-2), the simultaneous operation warning notification is executed and the number of games controlled in the penalty period (this number) In the embodiment, 10 games) are added.

  In addition, when the operation of a plurality of stop switches is detected at the same time, the number of games controlled during the penalty period is added in addition to the simultaneous operation warning notification regardless of whether or not the special replay is won. .

  Even if none of the push order bell, replay GR1-6, replay GR11-13, and replay GR21-23 is selected, the middle reel or the right reel based on the reel stop command received in the game. Is determined to be the first stop, and if the middle reel or the right reel is the first stop, the operation of a plurality of stop switches is simultaneously detected based on whether or not a simultaneous operation command is received in the game. It is determined whether or not.

  If the operation of a plurality of stop switches is not detected at the same time, a normal penalty warning notification is executed as shown in FIG. 19 (3-1). At this time, the number of games controlled during the penalty period is not added.

  If multiple stop switch operations are detected at the same time, as shown in FIG. 19 (3-2), the simultaneous operation warning notification is executed and the number of games controlled in the penalty period (this number) In the embodiment, 10 games) are added.

  Then, by adding the number of games controlled in the penalty period by the above control, the penalty period is controlled over the period until the number of games is consumed, and the execution of the navigation stock lottery and the extra lottery is restricted. .

  In this embodiment, when the number of games controlled in the penalty period is added while being controlled in the penalty period, the newly added game is added to the remaining number of games in the existing penalty period. The number of games controlled in the penalty period is limited, but there is an upper limit on the number of games controlled in the penalty period, the remaining number of games in the existing penalty period is invalid, and only the number of newly added games is in the penalty period. It may be configured to be controlled, so that when a player changes while the penalty period remains, the penalty controlled by the action of the previous player is excessive for the subsequent player. A disadvantage can be prevented.

  As described above, the sub-control unit 91 recommends the recommended stop order, that is, the stop order in which the left reel is the first stop when the AT is not controlled by the ART or ART, or when the navigation effect is not being executed outside the AT or ART. When the reels stop in a stop order other than the above, control is performed during a penalty period in which the execution of the navigation stock lottery or the extra lottery is restricted under certain conditions.

  Specifically, if the stop operation is performed in the stop order with the middle reel or the right reel as the first stop, the reels stop in the stop order with the middle reel or the right reel as the first stop, the push order bell Is won and the middle or upper bell wins, replay GR1-6 wins and promoted replay wins, replay GR11-13 wins and normal replay wins, replay GR21-23 wins When the special replay wins, that is, when the stop operation is performed in a stop order other than the recommended stop order, and the stop mode is advantageous to the player, the penalty period is controlled, while the middle reel or the right reel As a result of the stop operation in the stop order in which the first stop is performed, even if the reels stop in the stop order in which the middle reel or the right reel is the first stop, If the result is not the stop mode which is advantageous for the user, so that the uncontrolled penalty period.

  Also, if the reels stop in the stop order with the middle reel or the right reel as the first stop as a result of the stop operation, the control is performed during the penalty period. Regardless of whether or not it is performed, a normal penalty warning notification is executed, and a stop operation in the recommended stop order is prompted.

  On the other hand, as a result of simultaneous detection of the operation of a plurality of stop switches, if the reels stop in the stop order with the middle reel or the right reel as the first stop, regardless of the reel stop mode, as a result of the internal lottery, It is controlled uniformly in the penalty period.

  In addition, when the operation of a plurality of stop switches is detected at the same time and the reels are stopped in the stop order in which the middle reel or the right reel is the first stop, the simultaneous operation warning notification is different from the normal penalty warning notification. Is executed, it is possible to recognize from the outside that a simultaneous operation has been detected.

  In this embodiment, in the switch determination process, when changes in the detection state of all switches including the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are sequentially determined, and a change is determined in the detection state of any of the switches, The edge data that can identify the change is set, and the control for advancing the game in the basic process is performed based on the set edge data.

  In such a configuration, the change in the detection state of any of the switches is determined in the switch determination process without being related to the detection state of the other switches. Edge data corresponding to a plurality of switches can be set at the same time, for example, when changes are determined at the same time, that is, operations of a plurality of switches can be determined at the same time, but for example, a stop switch is playing a game in a normal manner. If it is operated at the same time, even if it is operated at the same time, it is rare that the operation is detected at the same time by a human operation. There is a possibility that some kind of fraud has been done.

  On the other hand, in this embodiment, the recommended stop order (in this embodiment, the left reel is used for the first reel), except when a navigation effect in which the middle reel or the right reel is stopped first is executed with AT, ART, or the like. Stop order other than stop order (stop order to stop the left reel before center and right reel during rotation of all reels), that is, stop order to stop the middle reel or right reel as the first stop (all reels) When a stop operation is performed in the order of stopping the middle reel or the right reel before the left reel during rotation, the penalty period during which the Navistock lottery or the extra lottery is restricted is controlled. This is a disadvantage for players.

  If multiple stop switch operations are detected at the same time, only the stop operation by the stop switch corresponding to the reel with the highest priority in the priority order of the right reel, middle reel, and left reel is accepted as an effective operation. The stop control of the reel corresponding to the stop operation is performed, and the operation of the stop switch corresponding to the left reel that matches the recommended stop order during rotation of all reels and the middle reel or the right reel that does not match the recommended stop order When the corresponding stop switch operation is detected at the same time, only the operation of the stop switch corresponding to the middle reel or the right reel, which may cause a disadvantage to the player, is effectively accepted and the stop switch is The corresponding reel stop control is performed, and all reels are rotated in order of recommended stop. If the operation of the stop switch corresponding to the left reel and the operation of the stop switch corresponding to the middle reel or the right reel that do not match the recommended stop order are detected at the same time, that is, there is a possibility that some sort of fraud is being performed. In the case of doubt, since a disadvantage may occur for the player, fraudulent acts by the player can be suppressed.

  In the present embodiment, only the left reel is applied as a reel that is not controlled during the penalty period by setting the first stop, that is, a single reel is configured that is not controlled during the penalty period by setting the first stop. For example, a configuration in which the left reel and the middle reel are applied as reels that are not controlled during the penalty period by setting the first stop, that is, a configuration that includes a plurality of reels that are not controlled during the penalty period by setting the first stop. .

  Further, in this embodiment, a configuration in which a middle reel and a right reel are applied as reels that can be controlled in the penalty period by setting the first stop, that is, a plurality of reels that can be controlled in the penalty period by setting the first stop. For example, as a reel that can be controlled in the penalty period by setting the first stop, a configuration in which only the right reel is applied, that is, a single reel that can be controlled in the penalty period by setting the first stop. It is good also as a structure.

  In this embodiment, the operation of a plurality of stop switches can be detected at the same time in the switch input determination process. When the operation of a plurality of stop switches is detected at the same time, the operation is performed in the subsequent reel rotation process. Only one of the detected stop switch operations is effectively accepted. However, when the detection state of the plurality of stop switches changes simultaneously in the switch input determination process, either one of them is detected. Only edge data corresponding to the stop switch may be set. In this case, the operation state of the stop switch corresponding to the left reel that matches the recommended stop order during the rotation of all reels and the operation state of the stop switch corresponding to the middle reel or the right reel that do not match the recommended stop order are simultaneously OFF. In the case of changing from ON to ON, only rising edge data indicating that the operation state of the stop switch corresponding to the middle reel or the right reel that may cause a disadvantage to the player has changed from OFF to ON is set. By doing so, the operation state of the stop switch corresponding to the left reel that matches the recommended stop order during the rotation of all reels and the operation state of the stop switch corresponding to the middle reel or the right reel that does not match the recommended stop order are simultaneously performed. If there is a change, i.e. suspected that some sort of fraud has occurred, Since the possible disadvantage may occur to persons, it is possible to suppress the abuse by the player.

  In this embodiment, the operation of the stop switch corresponding to the left reel that matches the recommended stop order during all reel rotation and the operation of the stop switch corresponding to the middle reel or the right reel that does not match the recommended stop order are detected at the same time. In such a case, it is possible to effectively accept only the operation of the stop switch corresponding to the middle reel or the right reel, which may cause a disadvantage to the player, and to perform stop control of the reel corresponding to the stop switch. When the operation of the stop switch corresponding to the left reel that matches the recommended stop order and the operation of the stop switch corresponding to the middle reel or the right reel that do not match the recommended stop order are detected simultaneously during the reel rotation, that is, some illegal act Cause a disadvantage to the player when it is suspected that Although it is a configuration, when operation of stop switches corresponding to a plurality of reels is detected at the same time during rotation of all reels, it is possible to uniformly generate a disadvantage to the player regardless of the stop order of the reels. Well, even in such a configuration, if there is a possibility that some kind of fraud is being carried out, there will be a disadvantage for the player, so it is possible to suppress the fraud by the player. Can do.

  In this embodiment, the operation of the stop switch corresponding to the left reel that matches the recommended stop order during all reel rotation and the operation of the stop switch corresponding to the middle reel or the right reel that does not match the recommended stop order are detected at the same time. In such a case, the player can effectively receive only the operation of the stop switch corresponding to the middle reel or the right reel, which may cause a disadvantage to the player, and perform stop control of the reel corresponding to the stop switch. Is disadvantageous to the player, that is, the player will be disadvantaged because the reels stop in the same stop order as when the stop operation is performed in a stop order other than the recommended stop order. Because of this structure, even if a disadvantage occurs when the operation of stop switches corresponding to multiple reels is detected simultaneously, It is preferable because it is difficult to give a sense of incongruity, but when the operation of the stop switch corresponding to a plurality of reels is detected at the same time as described above, the player is uniformly disadvantaged regardless of the order of stopping the reels. In the configuration, the operation of the stop switch corresponding to the left reel that matches the recommended stop order during the rotation of all reels and the operation of the stop switch corresponding to the middle reel or the right reel that does not match the recommended stop order are detected at the same time. In this case, the operation of the stop switch corresponding to the left reel may be effectively received and the stop control of the reel corresponding to the stop switch may be performed, or the stop control of all the reels corresponding to the stop switch detected at the same time may be performed. It is good also as a structure to perform.

  Further, in this embodiment, when the control is not controlled by AT or ART, or when the navigation effect is not executed other than AT or ART, the stop order in which the middle reel or the right reel is stopped first, that is, the recommended stop When a stop operation is performed in a stop order other than the order, the stop operation is not necessarily an advantageous stop mode for the player, and the stop operation is performed in the stop order with the middle reel or the right reel as the first stop. Only when the stop mode is advantageous to the player, the penalty period is controlled to cause a disadvantage to the player, while the stop operation is performed in the stop order with the middle reel or the right reel as the first stop. As a result, even if the reels stop in the stopping order with the middle reel or the right reel as the first stop, if the stop mode is not advantageous to the player, a penalty will be given. And so as not to be controlled during, as a result of the stop operation of the non-recommended stop order, profit is prevented to generate disadvantages to if not occurred to the player.

  On the other hand, as a result of simultaneous detection of the operation of a plurality of stop switches, if the reels stop in the stop order with the middle reel or the right reel as the first stop, whether or not the stop mode is advantageous to the player Regardless of whether or not the control is performed during the penalty period, the stop switch operation corresponding to the left reel that matches the recommended stop order during all reel rotation and the middle reel or right reel that does not match the recommended stop order If the operation of the stop switch corresponding to is detected at the same time, that is, if there is a possibility that some sort of fraud is being carried out, there is always a disadvantage regardless of whether it is advantageous to the player or not. Since it occurs, fraudulent acts by the player can be effectively suppressed.

  In this embodiment, when the control is not controlled by AT or ART, or when the navigation effect is not being executed other than AT or ART, the stop operation is performed in the stop order in which the middle reel or the right reel is stopped first. As a result, it is a configuration that causes a penalty for the player by controlling in the penalty period only when it becomes a stop mode that is advantageous for the player, but when it is not controlled by AT or ART, or Even when the navigation effect is not executed except for AT and ART, even if the stop operation is performed in the stop order with the middle reel or the right reel as the first stop, the stop mode is advantageous to the player. A configuration in which a penalty is generated for the player by uniformly controlling the penalty period may be used.

  Further, in this embodiment, when the reels are stopped in the stop order in which the middle reel or the right reel is the first stop as a result of the simultaneous detection of the operations of the plurality of stop switches, the stop mode is advantageous for the player. Regardless of whether or not it has become, it is configured to be uniformly controlled during the penalty period, but only when it becomes a stop mode that is advantageous to the player, it will be controlled in the penalty period and a disadvantage will be generated for the player It is good also as a structure made to do.

  Also, in this embodiment, as a result of the stop operation being performed in a stop order other than the recommended stop order (in this embodiment, the stop order in which the left reel is the first stop), the reels stop in a stop order other than the recommended stop order. In the case where the reels stop in the stop order other than the recommended stop order as a result of the simultaneous detection of the operation of a plurality of stop switches while executing the normal penalty warning notification by the penalty screen and the warning sound A The simultaneous operation warning notification by the penalty screen and the warning sound B, that is, the warning notification in the notification mode different from the normal penalty warning notification is executed, and when the warning notification is executed, the difference in the notification mode From this, it is possible to make the game store clerk recognize that there has been an event that is suspected of some sort of fraud.

  In this embodiment, as a result of the stop operation performed in the stop order other than the recommended stop order, even when the reels stopped in the stop order other than the recommended stop order, the operations of a plurality of stop switches were detected simultaneously. As a result, even if the reels stop in a stop order other than the recommended stop order, the same penalty screen is displayed, but the stop operation is performed in a stop order other than the recommended stop order, resulting in a stop order other than the recommended stop order. When the reels stop at the same time, and as a result of simultaneous detection of multiple stop switch operations, a different warning sound is output when the reels stop in a stop order other than the recommended stop order. It is a configuration for recognizing the difference, but at least if the notification mode is different, the difference between the former and the latter can be recognized, and the display mode of the liquid crystal display 51, the lighting mode of the LED, etc. Due to the difference between these notification modes, the penalty screen and warning sound A are used to perform the normal penalty warning notification, while the stop operation is performed in the stop order other than the recommended stop order. It may be configured to recognize the difference between the case where the reels stop in order and the case where the reels stop in a stop order other than the recommended stop order as a result of simultaneous detection of multiple stop switch operations. Even if it is composition, when warning information is performed, it is made to recognize that the event which is suspected that some sort of fraudulent act was performed to the store staff of a game hall from the difference in the information mode be able to.

  Further, in this embodiment, when the number of times that operations of a plurality of stop switches are simultaneously detected reaches a predetermined value (2 times in the present embodiment), an error state is controlled so that the progress of the game is disabled. Thus, it is possible to prevent the game from continuing even though an event that is suspected of being fraudulent has occurred.

  In this embodiment, when the number of times the operations of a plurality of stop switches are simultaneously detected reaches a predetermined value, the operation is controlled to an error state. Although it is preferable from being able to prevent being controlled to an error state, it is good also as a structure which makes progress of a game impossible by being controlled to an error state only by detecting operation of a plurality of stop switches at least once. Even with such a configuration, it is possible to prevent the game from continuing in a situation in which an event is suspected that the possibility of fraud has occurred.

  In this embodiment, the operation of the stop switch corresponding to the left reel that matches the recommended stop order during all reel rotation and the operation of the stop switch corresponding to the middle reel or the right reel that does not match the recommended stop order are detected at the same time. Even if the stop switch operation corresponding to the middle reel and the stop switch operation corresponding to the right reel are detected at the same time during rotation of all reels, the right reel It is determined whether the operation of the corresponding stop switch is detected in the order of the middle reel and the left reel. That is, even when the operation of the stop switch corresponding to the left reel that matches the recommended stop order and the operation of the stop switch corresponding to the middle reel or the right reel that do not match the recommended stop order are detected simultaneously during rotation of all reels, A reel that preferentially accepts a stop operation even when a stop switch operation corresponding to the middle reel that does not match the recommended stop order and a stop switch operation corresponding to the right reel are detected simultaneously during rotation of all reels The priority order of the reels is determined uniformly, and the priority order of the reels that accepts the stop operation with priority according to the situation when a plurality of stop switches are detected at the same time does not change. It is possible to simplify the reel stop control associated with the simultaneous detection of the switches.

  In this embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 has an internal winning suggestion that includes a first effect that suggests the result of the internal lottery at the start of the game and a second effect that definitely informs the result of the internal lottery before all reels stop. Production can be performed.

  For example, when winning the left bell, the liquid crystal display 51 displays a winning result suggesting screen that suggests the winning of the right falling bell as the first effect. In the winning display result suggestion screen at the time of winning the left bell, for example, an image indicating that the right falling bell can be won and an image indicating that other winning results are obtained (see FIG. 19 (1)). By displaying on the liquid crystal display 51 and displaying a plurality of winning results, it is possible to indicate that the right falling bell is one of the winning result candidates, and that it is possible to win the right falling bell.

  When a winning operation is performed after a winning display result suggesting screen is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 suggesting winning of a right falling bell as a first effect when the left bell is won, the left reel is set to the first stop. It is determined whether or not it is a stop operation in the stop order in which the right-down bell will win, and if it is a stop operation with the left reel as the first stop, as a second effect from the winning result suggestion screen Also, a winning result confirmation screen (see FIG. 19 (2)) that suggests that there is a high possibility of winning a right-down bell (in this embodiment, notification that a right-down bell can be won) is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. To do.

  On the winning result confirmation screen, only an image indicating that the right lowering bell can be won is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. On the other hand, on the winning result suggestion screen, the liquid crystal display 51 displays an image indicating that the lower right bell can be won and an image indicating that other winning results are obtained. Therefore, the winning result confirmation screen can indicate that the possibility of winning the right-down bell is higher than the winning result suggestion screen displaying a plurality of winning candidates. In the present embodiment, only the image indicating that the right falling bell can be won is displayed to notify that the right falling bell is surely won.

  On the other hand, when a stop operation is performed to stop the middle reel or the right reel as the first stop, that is, when the right lowering bell does not win, the second effect is not shifted from the winning result suggestion screen to the winning result confirmation screen, Control for executing the above-described normal penalty warning notification as the second effect, that is, a special screen for displaying a penalty screen for notifying that a penalty is given, and outputting warning sound A from the speakers 53 and 54 (FIG. 19 (3 -1))). Since the winning result is not notified on the penalty screen, there is no contradiction between the winning result shown in the production and the actual winning result. Moreover, it can alert | report that a penalty is provided, and it can prevent that a penalty is granted suddenly and the interest in a game falls.

  In addition, when the operation of a plurality of stop switches is detected at the same time, when the middle reel or the right reel stops for the first time, that is, when the right lowering bell does not win, the control for executing the simultaneous operation warning notification as the second effect is performed. That is, a penalty screen for notifying that a penalty is given is displayed, and special control for outputting a warning sound B different from the warning sound A from the speakers 53 and 54 (see FIG. 19 (3-2)) is executed. .

  The penalty screen is displayed at the end of the game displaying this (ie, at the third stop), at the second stop, at the start switch operation in the next game, at the next game bet setting, at the end of the penalty period, etc. It may be erased at an appropriate timing.

  In this way, assuming the recommended stop order in which the left reel is the first stop (that is, the stop order in which no penalty is given), if the left reel is set to the first stop in accordance with the recommended stop order, the right falling bell wins. Then, on the winning result suggestion screen, it is suggested that the right falling bell can be won, and when the stop operation is performed in the stop order in which the left reel is the first stop, the possibility of winning the right falling bell is displayed on the winning result confirmation screen. (That is, a notification that the right-down bell will win a prize), the winning result (ie, the derived display result) shown in the production (that is, display of each image) and the actual winning result There will be no contradiction.

  On the other hand, when the stop operation is performed with the middle reel or the right reel as the first stop without following the recommended stop order, or when a plurality of stop switches are detected at the same time, the middle reel or the right reel stops first, The right-down bell does not win and the upper bell wins, or the transitional outcome stops. In this case, the display of the winning result suggestion screen is continued and it is suggested that a winning result other than the winning of the right-down bell is given, so there is a discrepancy between the winning result shown in the production and the actual winning result. Absent. Moreover, it can alert | report that a penalty is provided, and it can prevent that a penalty is granted suddenly and the interest in a game falls. When simultaneous operation is detected, the special control using the warning sound B that is different from the warning sound A is executed, so that the simultaneous operation may be detected, that is, some improper operation may be performed. Can be notified to an attendant of a game store.

  In this embodiment, when the left bell is won and the winning display result suggesting screen suggesting the winning of the right-down bell as the first effect is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51, the operation is stopped. When a stop operation with the reel or the right reel as the first stop is performed, or when a plurality of stop switches are detected at the same time, the middle reel or the right reel stops for the first time, that is, when the right lowering bell does not win By executing special control that displays the penalty screen as the second effect, the configuration is such that there is no contradiction between the winning result shown in the effect and the actual winning result, but by executing other special control A configuration may be adopted in which there is no contradiction between the winning results shown and the actual winning results.

  For example, special control for continuously displaying the winning result suggesting screen in the first effect without shifting from the winning result suggesting screen to the winning result confirming screen as the second effect (see FIG. 19 (3-3)), Special control for displaying the background screen displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 when the winning result suggesting screen or the winning result confirmation screen is not displayed as the second effect (see FIG. 19 (3-4)), and the lower right as the second effect A special control (FIG. 19 (3-5)) that displays a winning result confirmation screen that displays only “white”, which is a character indicating that a winning combination other than the bell wins or loses, is executed. Even in the case of these configurations, there is no contradiction between the winning result shown in the production and the actual winning result.

  Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described with reference to the drawings, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments, and modifications and additions within the scope of the present invention are included in the present invention. Needless to say.

  In the above-described embodiment, the example in which the present invention is applied to a slot machine in which bets are set using medals and credits as game values has been described. However, slots for setting bets using game balls as game values. The present invention may be applied to a machine or a fully credit type slot machine that sets a bet amount using only credit as a gaming value. When using a game ball as a game value, for example, one medal can correspond to five game balls, and when 3 is set as the number of bets in the above embodiment, 15 game balls are used. This is equivalent to setting the number of bets using.

  Further, the present invention is not limited to the use of only one of a plurality of types of game values such as medals and game balls, for example, a combination of a plurality of types of game values such as medals and game balls. It may be. That is, it is possible to play a game by setting the number of bets using any of a plurality of types of gaming values such as medals and game balls, and a plurality of types of games such as medals and game balls when a winning occurs. You may apply the slot machine which can pay out all of utility values.
