  Although the thing of the said patent document 1 can start a game by one action, it is thought that the convenience of a player can be improved, but when the specified number of game media has not been inserted, the specified number of game media is inserted. The internal processing of starting the reel from the beginning is not known from the outside, and there is a risk of misunderstanding that the game has been started by operating the start switch before the specified number of game media are loaded. In the first place, the simultaneous operation of the start switch and the start switch is only detected at the same time within a wide range of detection time, such as within one interrupt processing time inside the gaming machine. Since the switch is turned on first and the insertion switch is turned on later, a situation where the game can be started by operating the start switch before inserting the prescribed number of medals is actually allowed.

  An object of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine that allows a player to surely recognize that a reel is started after a predetermined number of game media have been charged.

The reference numerals of the drawings are illustrated in parentheses for illustration.
An input switch (bet button 3) for instructing execution of a game medium input process;
In a gaming machine provided with a start switch (start lever 5) for instructing execution of reel start processing,
A start command clearing means (T1) at the time of input processing for clearing a start command storage area for storing the command input of the start switch when executing a game medium input processing based on the command input of the input switch;
Based on the command input of the start switch after confirming the insertion of a prescribed number of game media, a prescribed number confirmation after-start permitting means (T2) for permitting execution of reel start processing is provided.
“Prescribed number” means the number of game medals that need to be inserted in order to obtain a single game result for each type of game (Article 6 Attached Table 2 of the Game Machine Rules) 3) F).

  As a result, when the insertion switch and the start switch are operated at the same time, if the prescribed number of game media are not inserted, the game media insertion processing is executed. At this time, the start switch is cleared by the start command clearing means at the time of insertion processing. The start command storage area for storing the command input is cleared. Therefore, the reel start process is not performed depending on the start switch command related to the simultaneous operation, and the start switch command input after confirming the insertion of the specified number of game media is again performed by the start permission means after the specified number confirmation. Based on this, execution of the reel starting process is permitted. Therefore, it is possible to make the player surely recognize that the reel is started after a predetermined number of game media have been charged.

  FIG. 3 shows a timer interrupt process and a game main process performed by the main controller MC. The timer interrupt process is executed every fixed time of 1.49 ms. When a timer interrupt occurs (step S00), the internal registers of the main CPU being used are saved in the stack area for protection (S01). Subsequently, a power interruption recovery process including calculation of a checksum (S02), and a read process (S03) of port 0 (input port 0) and port 1 (input port 1) of the input port I1 are performed.

  The input port 0 has an operation system such as a switch signal for the left / middle / right stop buttons 6L, 6C, 6R, a switch signal for the start lever 5, a switch signal for the bet button 3, a switch signal for the settlement button 4, and a sensor signal for the door key.

  Subsequently, a lighting process of the game basic lamps 30 (S04), a motor control process of the stepping motor SM (S05), a management process of the output port O1 (S06), and a subcommand transmission process to be transmitted to the peripheral controller SC (S07) , A predetermined fraud monitoring process (S08) for goto action etc., an external signal output process (S09) for outputting a specific signal to the hall computer etc. via the external terminal board, whether the ON state has continued for a predetermined time, etc. The monitoring process of the switch and sensor to be monitored such as the settlement button 4 for monitoring the progress (S10), the update processing of various internal timers (S11), etc. are executed in sequence, and the internal register saved in the stack area is restored (S12). ), The interruption is permitted (S13), and the process returns to the process before the interruption (S14).

  In the game main process (S20), a medal insertion process is performed (S22) after an initialization process (S21) at the start of the game including a clear process of a predetermined work area of the RWM to be updated for each game. In the medal insertion process, subroutines for manual medal insertion processing from the insertion slot 2i and automatic medal insertion processing in the case of replay are called, and a subroutine for credit medal insertion processing for inserting medals from credits is called. When the credit medal insertion process subroutine is called and the process is started (S23), the edge check process (S24) for checking the operation system signal read into the input port 0 in the latest timer interrupt process, and Subsequent switch-related processing (S25) is performed.

  In the insertion switch-related process subroutine (S26), the bet lamp ELb is turned on and determined by the edge check process, and the presence / absence check of the max bet command by pressing the bet button 3 is confirmed (S27) and the settlement button 4 is shortly pressed. The presence / absence of a bet command is confirmed (S28). If either bet command is present, the bit corresponding storage area (bit 3 of input port 0) of the switch signal of start lever 5 assigned to input port 0 is cleared (S29). ), A medal is deducted from the credit and applied to the medal (S30). In the case of a mask bet command, a prescribed number of medals are inserted, and in the case of a one bet command, one medal is inserted.

  In step S29, when the medal insertion process is executed based on the command input of the insertion switch by the bet button 3 or the settlement button 4, the start command clearing command at the time of insertion processing is cleared to clear the start command storage area for storing the command input of the start lever 5. Means T1 is configured. In this way, when the insertion switch by the bet button 3 or the settlement button 4 and the start lever 5 are operated at the same time, the start command by the operation of the start lever 5 is cleared immediately before the medal is inserted. Depending on the start lever 5, the reels 1 </ b> L, 1 </ b> C, 1 </ b> R are not started, and the start lever 5 needs to be operated again.

  After the subroutine return due to the end of the insertion switch related process (S31), it is determined whether the number of multiplied medals inserted satisfies the specified number (S32). If not, the process repeats from the edge check process. It is determined whether there is a switch signal for the lever 5, that is, whether there is a start command (S33). Since the start command by the operation of the start lever 5 is cleared immediately before the medal is inserted in step S29, even if the start lever 5 is operated simultaneously with the operation of the insertion switch by the bet button 3 or the settlement button 4, the step In S33, NO is determined, and the process is repeated from the edge check process.

  In this situation, when the state lever 5 is operated again, the start command is stored in the bit correspondence storage area (bit 3 of the input port 0) of the start lever 5 switch signal of the input port 0, and the input switch related processing S25 (S26 to S31). Then, the process is terminated without doing anything, and YES is determined in steps S32 and S33. Thus, the credit medal insertion process is completed (S34), and the process proceeds from the medal insertion process in step S22 to the process after the reel start operation confirmation process in the next step S35.

  Based on the command input of the start lever 5 after confirming the insertion of a prescribed number of medals by steps S32 and S33, a prescribed number confirmation after-start permission means T2 that permits execution of the subsequent reel start processing is configured. . Based on the command input of the start lever 5 after confirming that the specified number of game media have been inserted, the reel start process is permitted after the specified number of game media have been input in order to permit execution of the reel start processing. It is possible to make the player recognize that it is.

  After confirming the reel starting operation (S35), through an internal lottery process (S36) and a freeze lottery process (S37), a 4.1 second game interval timer is confirmed (S38), and the time is up (S39). ), The game interval timer starts counting again (S40).

  Subsequently, each reel 1L, 1C, 1R is step-updated with an excitation pulse according to a predetermined acceleration sequence to reach a steady rotation of about 80 revolutions per minute, and to the subsequent stop control based on the result of the internal lottery. A rotation rotating device control process (S41) for causing the rotation rotating device control means V1 to function is performed, including processing for initially generating stop candidate search data to be used.

  Next, the operation of each stop button 6L, 6C, 6R is accepted, and the stop candidate search data and / or the stop stored in advance in the ROM within a specified time such as within 190 ms from each operation, that is, within a range of a maximum of 4 frames. A rotation stop device control process (S42) for causing the rotation stop device control means V2 to function is performed, including a process for stopping and displaying a combination of symbols according to the result of the internal lottery using the table.

  After the rotation stop device control process, a display determination process (S43) for determining a combination of symbols to be stopped and displayed on the active line defined in the middle stage of the display window 80, and in accordance with the display result, in the case of winning, a medal payout In the medal payout process (S44) for making the means M function, in the case of re-game, when the medal automatic insertion means N is prepared to function in the medal insertion process of the next game and accompanied by the transition of the game state such as the operation of the accessory After completing the next game preparation process (S45) for making the game state transition means J function, one game is finished (S46).

  In the above embodiment, the specification is such that a 1-bet command is issued by pressing the settlement button 4 shortly, but a dedicated 1-bet button or 2-bet button may be provided. In addition, specifications such as a one-bet command may be omitted, and a specification having only a bet button for commanding a maximum bet to batch-insert a maximum specified number of medals according to the gaming state may be used.
