As a result of the rotation of the plurality of rows of reels (reel), the reels are stopped using the rotary stop device (stop button) for stopping the rotation, and the predetermined pattern on the effective line When a combination of (for example, a winning combination such as “777”) is lined up, a special gaming state in which a profit state is higher for the player than in the normal gaming state (a gaming state in which the lottery probability of a small role or the like is higher than in a normal state) ) Is a common type. Here, in a spinning-reel type gaming machine, when an image for production to enhance the fun of the game is displayed on a display such as a liquid crystal in a form synchronized with the rotating and stopping operations of the reel There is a structure to predict and enjoy the outcome of the game while comparing the design displayed on the spinning cylinder with the effect image displayed on the display. There are many things.

  In addition, in a recent spinning-type game machine, it is configured such that the presence / absence of a winning combination and the type of winning combination change depending on the operation mode (operation order and operation timing) of the spinning stop device, so that the player Many devices (so-called AT machines) that assist by issuing an operation instruction (navigation) to win an advantageous winning combination have also appeared. This AT machine has a state in which an operation instruction is issued (AT state) and a state in which an operation instruction is not issued (non-AT state). The longer the AT state, the more advantageous to the player. It has a lot of playability.

  First, the meaning of each term in this specification will be described. “Random number” is a random number used in a lottery (lottery by an electronic computer) to determine some game content in a spinning-type game machine, and includes a pseudo-random number in addition to a random number in a narrow sense (for example, as a random number) Is a hard random number, a built-in random number generated by a main control chip including a CPU, or a soft random number as a pseudo-random number). For example, a so-called “basic random number” that affects the outcome of the game, specifically, a “winning random number” related to a special role or a winning combination (small role, replaying role) for shifting to a special game, etc. Can be mentioned. “CPU” is synonymous with what is well known in the art, and is not limited to the architecture (CISC, RISC, number of bits, etc.) used, processing performance, or the like. “Power interruption (power interruption)” means that the power supply voltage supplied to the gaming machine falls below a certain level regardless of whether the power switch provided on the gaming machine is operated or not. This also includes shutting down the power supply due to unforeseen circumstances such as unit damage or power outages. “ROM” is synonymous with what is well known in the art, and physically retains information (for example, “1” for a device configuration that conducts when a current for reading data is applied, It will be “0” if the device configuration is not.) RAM is synonymous with what is well known in the art, and electrically holds information (for example, when a current for reading data is applied, “1” is stored if it is stored, and it is not stored. It is generally “0.” In general, backup power is supplied to some or all of the data stored in the RAM when the power is interrupted). The “game state” is, for example, a special game state in which a game medal can be easily acquired and advantageous to the player (so-called jackpot game, such as a bonus game, a type 1 BB, a type 2 BB, or the like) ), The re-game probability variation game state (RT state) in which the re-game player win rate is higher (or lower) than the normal game state in which the re-game player win rate is a predetermined value, and the winning role Order of the reels for winning a prize, an AT (assist time) state in which the stop position can be notified, an ART (assist replay time) state in which the RT state and the AT state are combined, and the like. Also in the normal gaming state, the lottery probability of transition to the RT state, AT state, ART state is different, high probability normal gaming state, low probability normal gaming state, etc. (in this example, referred to as lottery state) ). Also, there is no problem even if the game states are combined {in addition, these game states and functions (for example, a lottery transition to the AT state, output of a notification instruction related to the reel stop order, etc.) control the game progress. There is no problem even if all are mounted on the main control board side}. In this example, the state related to the AT and the RT state are individually described. The RT state is referred to as “RT1” and the state related to the AT is referred to as “normal game state”. As a state relating to ART, the state relating to ART may be referred to as “normal gaming state” or the like. “Winning combination” is the type of condition device (or condition device number) won by internal lottery. The “notification state” is a state related to an AT capable of executing push order navigation described later, and even if a game is won by a condition device that does not execute push order navigation because the winning combination is not different depending on the reel stop order. If the state related to the AT is a state in which the push order navigation can be performed, the “notification state” is set. The “counter value” is also referred to as “notification game executable number”, and is the AT remaining game number or the counter value of the AT counter M60, which will be described later. For example, when “the number of notification games that can be executed” is 1 or more (the game that has become “0” may be included), the push order navigation described later can be executed. In addition, as the “notification game executable number”, the number of game media obtained based on the winning of the small role (mainly the push order bell role) (the number obtained by subtracting the inserted number from the paid-out number) The number of wins for the order bell may be adopted. In addition, the “special notification state” is a state that is most advantageous to the player among the states related to the AT, and is referred to as “addition special state” in this example. The “specific condition” is a condition under which the AT counter value can be subtracted. For example, the specific condition is that, for example, one game is completed, a predetermined combination (for example, push order bell combination) is won. “Type 1 special character” is a character that increases the number of symbol combinations related to winnings per prescribed number or increases the probability that the conditional device related to winnings per prescribed number will operate. The operation can be continued until a game result is obtained that does not exceed 12 times, and is sometimes referred to as RB (regular bonus). "Type 1 special combination continuous operation device" is a device that can operate the first type special combination continuously, and is activated when a specific combination of symbols is displayed. The operation is terminated and may be referred to as a BB (Big Bonus) or a first type BB. “Type 2 special combination” is a combination that activates the condition device related to winning regardless of the result of the combination lottery. The combination is activated when a predetermined game result is obtained. In such a case, the operation is terminated and may be referred to as CB (challenge bonus). "Type 2 special feature continuous operation device" is a device that can continuously operate type 2 special features, and is activated when a combination of specific symbols is displayed. The operation ends and is sometimes referred to as MB (middle bonus) or second type BB. The “ordinary accessory” is an accessory that increases the number of symbol combinations related to winning for each specified number or increases the probability that the condition device related to winning for each specified number will operate. It operates when a combination is displayed and ends when the result of one game is obtained, and is sometimes referred to as SB (single bonus). The “all JACIN type” is a configuration in which, when the first type BB combination wins, it is regarded as having been JACIN and is always in the RB during the execution of the first type BB. The “JACIN lottery type” is a configuration that repeatedly executes non-RB and RB during execution of the first type BB. In addition, the “non-control reel” is a reel in which the pull-in control that can be executed after performing the stop operation is not executed, and is stopped at the nearest reel position where the stop operation can be stopped from the reel position where the stop operation is accepted. It is a reel. The “all CB type” is a configuration that is always in the CB when the second type BB is executed. The “CB transfer lottery type” is a configuration that repeatedly executes non-CB and CB during execution of the second type BB.

  Note that this embodiment is merely an example, the location and function of each means, the order of each step regarding various processes, the timing of flag on / off, the name of the means responsible for each step, etc. It is not limited to the following aspects. In addition, the above-described embodiments and modified examples should not be understood as being limited to being applied to specific items, and may be in any combination. For example, it should be understood that a modification example of an embodiment is a modification example of another embodiment, and even if one modification example and another modification example are described independently, there is the modification example. It should be understood that a combination of the modified example and another modified example is also described.

(This embodiment)
Here, before describing each component, the feature (outline) of the spinning-rotor type gaming machine P according to the present embodiment will be described. Hereinafter, each element will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

  First, with reference to FIG. 1 (FIG. 2 for a part of the configuration), the basic structure on the front side of the rotary type gaming machine according to the present embodiment will be described. First of all, the swing type gaming machine P mainly includes a front door (also referred to as a front door), a back box (also referred to as a cabinet and a base body), a reel unit installed in the back box, a hopper device, a power supply unit, a main control. It is composed of a substrate M (a substrate on which the main control chip C is mounted). Hereinafter, these will be described in order.

  Next, the front door DU of the swing type gaming machine P includes a decorative lamp unit D150 and a medal tray D230. First, the decorative lamp unit D150 has a light-emitting source that emits light in accordance with the progress of the game of the rotary game machine P. Further, a door switch D80 capable of detecting the open / closed state of the front door DU is provided. Further, the front door DU is provided with a key hole D260, and a key (door key) that matches the shape of the key hole D260 is inserted into the key hole D260 {in addition, twisted in a predetermined direction (for example, clockwise)} The front door DU can be opened. Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the door key is inserted into the keyhole D260 {and in addition, twisted in a predetermined direction (for example, counterclockwise)}, so that an error state (door opening error or the like) can be canceled. Yes. Next, the medal tray D230 is a tray for game medals (or simply called medals) released from the discharge port D240.

  Next, the front door DU includes a mechanism for enabling visual recognition of the game state, a mechanism for enabling input of game media, a mechanism for operating the reel unit, and the like. Specifically, the reel window D160, the insertion number display lamp D210, the operation state display lamp D180, the special game state display apparatus D250, the credit number display apparatus D200, and the payout number display apparatus are provided as mechanisms for making the gaming state visible. A (push order display device) D270 (sometimes referred to as a push order display device D270), an AT counter value display device D280, an advantageous section indicator YH, and the like are attached. Further, as a mechanism for enabling the insertion of game media and inputting the number of bets (the number of bets), a medal insertion slot D170, a bet button D220, and a mechanism for enabling the payout of the inserted game media are settled. Button D60 is attached. As a mechanism for operating the reel, a start lever D50 and a stop button D40 are attached. Hereinafter, each element will be described in detail.

<Mechanism to make game state visible>
Next, the reel window D160 is a transparent member formed of a synthetic resin or the like that constitutes a part of the front door DU, and is configured so that the reel unit installed in the gaming machine frame can be seen through the reel window D160. ing. In addition, the insertion number indicator lamp D210 is constituted by an LED, and is configured so that the same number of LEDs as the number of medals currently bet (to insert a game medal necessary for starting one game) are lit. Has been. Further, the operation state indicator lamp D180 is configured by an LED and is configured to be turned on / off according to the current operation state (medal acceptance / non-acceptance state, re-game stop state, game start wait state, etc.). The special game state display device D250 is configured by a 7-segment display, and is configured to display the total number of payouts paid out during the special game. The special game state display device D250 may not be provided, and in such a case, the total number of payouts is displayed on the effect display device S40 (also referred to as a second information display unit). By configuring so, the player can recognize the total number of payouts paid out during the special game, and can be a user-friendly gaming machine. The payout amount display device (push order display device) D270 is configured by a 7-segment display, and the number of game medals currently paid out and the reel stop order (left stop button D41, middle stop button D42, right stop button) D43 is a condition device (so-called pushing order (also called a role with pushing order) that can be won depending on the order in which the winning combination is given). In a game in which a profit rate (the number of payouts, the subsequent RT state, etc.) attached to a player is generally different} is established, the reel stop order that is most advantageous to the player is determined. It is comprised so that it can alert | report (the said alerting | reporting may be called push order navigation). Thus, the payout amount display device (push order display device) D270 is configured to be able to execute two displays of the number of game medals currently being paid out and the reel stop order that provides the highest profit to the player. The display mode is such that the player does not misunderstand which of the two displays is being executed, and the details of the display mode will be described later. The credit amount display device D200 is configured by a 7-segment display, and is configured to display the total number of medals (credit number) stored in the gaming machine as medals held by the player. Further, the AT counter value display device D280 plays games according to the push order navigation display displayed on the push order display device D270 (also referred to as a first information display unit) among the states related to AT (details will be described later). It is configured to be able to display the number of games that can stay in a state related to AT that is advantageous for the player to be guaranteed when progressing (in this example, it is referred to as a push order navigation state and will be described in detail later). Yes. Note that the AT counter value display device D280 may not be provided. In such a configuration, the player can be configured to display the number of games that can stay in the AT state on the effect display device S40. Can recognize the number of games in which the state related to the advantageous AT is guaranteed and can be a user-friendly gaming machine. The payout number display device (push order display device) D270 may be configured to be divided into two devices: a payout number display device and a push order display device.

  Further, the advantageous section indicator YH is constituted by an LED, and is configured to turn on when it is an “advantageous section” and to be turned off when it is not an “advantageous section” (for lighting and extinguishing timings). Will be described later). Here, in the case of the spinning type gaming machine according to the present example, a special gaming state (so-called big hit game, which is a bonus game, in which a game medal can be easily obtained and which is advantageous to the player, like the conventional spinning type gaming machine. Or the first type BB, the second type BB, etc.), and the winning rate of the re-gamer is higher (or lower) than the normal gaming state where the winning rate of the re-gamer is a predetermined value. The re-play probability variation game state (RT state), the reel stop order for winning the winning combination, the AT (assist time) state in which the stop position can be notified, the RT state and the AT state Combined ART (assist replay time) state, etc. can be taken, but apart from these “gaming state”, one of three “game sections” of “normal section”, “standby section” and “advantage section” Can be set Going on. Among these, the “advantageous section” is positioned as being relatively advantageous to the player over the other “game sections”. For example, the “gaming state” is an AT state or an ART state. “Advantageous section” is associated. That is, when the “gaming state” is in the AT state or ART state, the advantageous section indicator YH is lit, but as will be described later, the setting control for the “game section” is also the setting control for the “gaming state”. Similarly, since it is performed on the main control board side that controls the progress of the game, whether or not the game progress status is relatively advantageous for the player by the lighting / extinction status of the advantageous section indicator YH, It can be communicated to players without lies. As will be described later, if the “advantageous section” continues until a predetermined upper limit number of games (for example, 1500 games) is reached, the “normal section” is forcibly set. Since the state related to AT is also forcibly terminated (information for maintaining the state during AT is cleared and initialized), the transition of “game section” may also affect the transition of “game state” As a result, it is possible to automatically suppress an increase in euphoria due to a “game state” such as an in-AT state or an ART state having a relatively high degree of design freedom. As described above, when the “advantageous section” continues until the predetermined upper limit number of games (for example, 1500 games) is reached, the “normal section” is forcibly set, that is, the “advantageous section” ends. However, the termination condition of the “advantageous section” is not limited to this. The end condition of the “advantageous section” in the spinning-reel game machine according to this example is “the push that can acquire the small combination with the largest number of payouts among the small combinations that make up the push combination (the combination with push order)” One execution of sequential navigation (for example, when there are seven, three, and one small combination as the small combination constituting the push forward combination, the push navigation in which the largest number of payouts can be acquired is seven. If there is a push order that can be acquired 7 or 1 by the push order, and a push order that can be obtained 3 by the push order, the push order navigation that can be obtained by 3 is referred to here. Does not apply to push order navigation) or “Wins any of BB, RB, MB” and satisfies “arbitrary end condition (40G1 set loop lottery not selected (AT), fixed 32G Elapsed (gaseous signs, etc.)) or “Advantageous zone 1500G” is the end condition To have. In the case of a specification in which there is no push order bell combination (eg, a specification in which there is a replay push order for transitioning to the RT state, but there is no small combination in which the number of payouts varies depending on the push order) The condition for ending the advantageous section of “one push order navigation that can acquire the small combination with the largest number of payouts” is excluded.

<Mechanism to enable input of game media>
Next, the medal slot D170 is a slot for game medals, and the game medal inserted into the slot is guided to the inside of the gaming machine in a situation where medals can be received. Also, an insertion acceptance sensor D10s, a first insertion sensor D20s, and a second insertion sensor D30s are provided in the gaming machine as sensors for detecting the insertion of medals, and are guided into the gaming machine. When it is determined that a game medal has been inserted normally, the inserted medal can be detected as a bet.

A coin shooter D90 and the like for guiding the medal to the discharge port D240 are provided. The insertion acceptance sensor D10s has a function of selecting game medals inserted from the medal insertion slot D170 mainly based on dimensions, and accepting only game medals that conform to the standard dimensions. The selected medal (or other foreign matter) is returned to the discharge port D240 by the blocker D100. If the player inserts a game medal before operating the start lever D50 (in a state where the insertion of the game medal is valid), the game medal is selected by the insertion acceptance sensor D10s, and only those satisfying the standard are selected. A medal that does not satisfy the standard and is inserted into the hopper H40 is returned to the discharge port D240 through the coin shooter D90. On the other hand, when a game medal is inserted after the start lever D50 is operated (in a state where the insertion of the game medal is not valid), regardless of whether the standard is satisfied, the inserted game medal Is returned to the discharge port D240 through the coin shooter D90. In addition, a sensor for medal insertion, which will be described in detail later, is provided inside the insertion acceptance sensor D10s (the back of the flow path), and when a game medal that has been received satisfying the dimensional standard passes, the first insertion sensor D20s. The signal is detected by the second input sensor D30s and the signal is supplied to the main control board M to be described later.

  A main control board M, which will be described later, that controls the entire game is stored above the reel M50, and behind the reel M50, each reel (left reel M51, middle reel M52, right reel M53) is driven. For this purpose, a later-described rotor substrate K is stored. Further, on the left side of the reel M50, a sub-control board S (to be described later) that controls various effects performed using the effect display device S40 shown in FIG. 1, the LED lamp S10, the speaker S20, and the like is stored. . In addition, the main control board M has a setting key switch M20 used for executing a setting change device control process (to change settings), which will be described later, and a setting / reset that can execute setting value change, error cancellation, etc. Button M30 is connected. Note that the setting key switch M20 and the setting / reset button M30 are not shown, but they may be provided at appropriate positions on the main control board M (that is, the front door DU must be opened). If the location is difficult to access artificially).

  Below the reel M50, there are provided a hopper H40 for collecting inserted game medals and a medal payout device H for paying out game medals, and a power supply board for supplying power to the entire revolving game machine P E is stored. The game medals paid out from the medal payout device H pass through the coin shooter D90 and are paid out from the discharge port D240. Further, on the front surface of the power supply board E, there is also provided a power switch E10 for turning on the power of the swivel type gaming machine P.

  Next, FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing a path (selector) of game medals inserted into the medal insertion slot D170 inside the spinning cylinder type game machine. A game medal inserted into the medal slot D170 first passes through the slot acceptance sensor D10s. The insertion acceptance sensor D10s is a mechanical double sensor, and when the game medal passes, it turns on when the two protruding mechanisms are pressed, and the game medal can normally pass through the passage. . Also, with such a configuration, when a foreign object that is not a game medal (for example, one having a smaller diameter than the game medal) is inserted, the two protruding mechanisms are not pressed. Such medals cannot be maintained in the standing state, and therefore cannot pass through the passage (the medals fall down) and are paid back to the discharge port D240. In addition, the insertion acceptance sensor D10s is configured to be able to determine that there is an error even when the on-time continues for a predetermined time or longer (as a result, the blocker D100 can be turned off). .

  When the game medal normally passes through the blocker D100, it passes through the first insertion sensor D20s and the second insertion sensor D30s immediately after passing. The throwing sensors (first throwing sensor D20s and second throwing sensor D30s) are composed of two sensors (adjacently arranged at an interval smaller than the standard diameter of the game medal), and each sensor is turned on. -Various errors can be detected by monitoring the off-state (the order of transition of the on / off combination of the first input sensor D20s and the second input sensor D30s, etc.) and the on / off time. It is configured.

  Next, FIG. 4 is a front view and a top view of the medal payout device H in the rotary type gaming machine. The medal payout device H is operated with the checkout button in the state where credits (game medals stored electronically inside the gaming machine) or bets (medals inserted to start the game) exist. It is activated when a game medal is paid out by winning or winning. In operation, first, the hopper motor H80 is driven to rotate the disk H50 about the disk rotation axis H50a. Due to the rotation, the game medals in the medal payout device H are displaced from the game medal outlet H60 toward the discharge port D240 by displacing the discharge urging means H70. The payout sensors (the first payout sensor H10s and the second payout sensor H20s) are composed of two sensors, and the ON / OFF status of each sensor (the ON / OFF state of the first payout sensor H10s and the second payout sensor H20s). It is configured to detect various errors by monitoring the order of transition of the combination of off, etc.) and the time of on / off. More specifically, for example, when the game medal outlet H60 normally passes, the first payout sensor H10s = off and the second payout sensor H20s = off due to the displacement of the discharge biasing means H70. 1 payout sensor H10s = off / second payout sensor H20s = off → first payout sensor H10s = on / second payout sensor H20s = off → first payout sensor H10s = on / second payout sensor H20s = on → first payout Sensor H10s = off / second payout sensor H20s = on → first payout sensor H10s = off / second payout sensor H20s = off, so that when a movement contrary to this sensor state transition is detected It is possible to exemplify the configuration of an error.

  Next, FIG. 5 is a list of basic specifications of the swivel type gaming machine in the present embodiment. The spinning-reel type gaming machine according to the present embodiment has a prescribed number (the maximum number of game medals that can be bet in one game) of 3, and the number of frames of the left reel M51, the middle reel M52, and the right reel M53 are all 20 frames. The effective line to be determined for winning is one line of “lower left reel M51, middle middle M52, upper right reel M53”, the maximum payout number is 7, and the minimum payout number is 1 (the winning combination and the payout number) The bonus symbol is “Sheep / Sheep / Sheep” (finished with a payout of 450 or more) and is a first-type BB combination (a so-called first-type special combination continuous action device) However, hereinafter, it may be simply referred to as a BB role). In the present embodiment, when the first type BB combination wins and the BB is executed (the combination is activated), one BB is executed in all the games in the BB during the execution of the BB. Refers to the lottery table, and is configured to draw a winning combination (small role, replaying combination) other than the winning combination (a method that does not switch the table referred to in the case of lottery during one BB execution) Hereinafter, it may be referred to as an all-JACIN type). It should be noted that the format of the first type BB combination is not limited to this, and it may be configured to be able to switch a table to be referred to in the combination lottery during the execution of one BB. Will be described in detail later. In addition, the order of priority winning (in order of drawing-in priority) is “re-playing role → small role (bell, watermelon, etc.) → bonus”. For example, when the re-playing role and bonus are established at the same time The symbol combination which becomes the re-game player is stopped and displayed, and the bonus cannot be won. Also, when the bell and watermelon are established, if a stop button is pressed at a position where both can be retracted (positions within 4 frames to the winning stop position), priority is given to a small part with a large number of payouts. It is configured to retract. The configuration shown in the figure is merely an example, and the number of frames of each reel is changed (for example, changed to 21 frames), or the configuration of the effective line is changed (for example, 5 lines of 3 horizontal lines and 2 diagonal lines). There is no problem even if it is changed to line). In addition, as a pull-in control when a push order small role that gives different profits to the player depending on the push order is won, a small role with a large number of payouts is operated when operated in a predetermined correct push order. Is given priority (number priority control), and can be displayed in a stop position (within 4 frames from the stop operation) when operated in an incorrect answer push order different from the correct answer push order. Among the symbols arranged), control (number priority control) is performed to increase the possibility of winning (the number of winning combinations among the plurality of winning symbol combinations is the highest).

  Next, FIG. 6 is a list of reel arrangements of the swivel type gaming machine in the present embodiment. As shown in the figure, the number of frames of the left reel M51, the middle reel M52 and the right reel M53 are all 20 frames (0 to 19), and the symbols are “Seven”, “Sheep”, “Blank B”. ”,“ Bell ”,“ Replay A ”,“ Replay B ”,“ Watermelon A ”,“ Watermelon B ”,“ Cherry ”, and“ Blank A ”. Here, “Blank A” and “Blank B” are symbols included in the symbol combination that constitutes the winning combination in the same manner as other symbols, and do not mean the symbol that does not constitute the winning combination, but “blank A”. As a combination of symbols constituting a winning combination including, for example, “Watermelon B / Replay A / Blank A” is a replay 03, and as a symbol combination configuring a winning combination including “Blank B”, for example, It is replay 03 with "Watermelon B / Replay A / Blank B". The configuration shown in the figure is merely an example, and there is no problem even if the type of design is increased / decreased / changed.

  Next, FIGS. 7 to 10 are symbol combination lists 1 to 4 in the present embodiment. In the present embodiment, there are a plurality of symbol combinations for each condition device. As will be described later, depending on the stop order and stop position of the left reel M51, the middle reel M52, and the right reel M53, This one symbol combination is configured to be stopped and displayed on the effective line (one line described above). In addition, even if the same type of symbols is not available on the active line, the same symbols are easily arranged in a line on the lines other than the active line when viewed from the player. It is configured so that three watermelon symbols are aligned on one line on the reel, such as aligned on a horizontal line).

  Next, FIGS. 11 to 15 are condition device lists 1 to 5 in the present embodiment. In the present embodiment, the re-game players are provided from re-game-A to re-game-H3 (conditional device numbers 1 to 22), and the stop order and stop position of the left reel M51, middle reel M52 and right reel M53. Depending on the situation, the re-gamer to be stopped and displayed can be different. The condition device number may be referred to as a winning number. The item “push order etc.” describes the types of re-game players that are stopped and displayed in the stop order, for example, “left reel M51: 1, middle reel M52: 2, right reel M53: 3”. "123" means that the operation is stopped in the pressing order of "left reel M51-> middle reel M52-> right reel M53". For example, "replay C-1" (condition device number 7) In this case, when the stop is performed in the order of “123” = “left → middle → right”, the symbol combination “replay 06” is stopped and displayed. Furthermore, when the order is stopped in the order of “left → right → middle”, the symbol combination “replay 04” is stopped and displayed, and if the middle first stop is performed, regardless of the types of reels of the second stop and the third stop When the symbol combination “replay 04” is stopped and displayed, and the right first stop is performed, the symbol combination “replay 03” is stopped and displayed regardless of the types of reels of the second stop and the third stop. It becomes. By configuring in this way, if the correct answer can be made in the push order, the gaming state (state related to AT or RT state) is promoted (transition to a gaming state that is highly profitable for the player), or if the correct answer cannot be made in the push order, the gaming state (related to AT) It is possible to create a game such that the state or the RT state) falls (shifts to a gaming state having a low profit for the player). Further, in the case of “winning-A1 (bell)” (condition device number 23), “123” = “left → middle → right” is stopped in this order, that is, when the correct answer is given in the pressing order, seven payouts are obtained. It is configured so that it is stopped in the other pressing order, that is, if one cannot answer correctly in the pressing order, it is configured to pay out one sheet. By configuring in this way, it is related to ATs such as “AT in progress” and “AT in preparation” The navigation order of the re-game player and the pushing order of the bell are navigated in the state (the pushing order with the highest profit is displayed on the push order display device D270), and the ATs such as “normal gaming state” and “AT precursor state” It is possible to create a plurality of gaming states in which the player's profit rate is different from pushing the navigation order to the state. The state related to AT will be described later. In the case of “winning-E1” (condition device number 42), “123” = “left → middle → right” is stopped in this order, that is, if the correct answer is given in the order of pushing, three payouts will be made, and other pushes Even when stopped in order, that is, when the correct answer cannot be made in the order of pushing, the payout of 3 sheets is made with a probability of 1/4. Further, the specific symbol is stopped (configured so that no medal is paid out) in 3/4 when the correct answer cannot be made. Here, “the specific symbol is stopped” means that the symbol combination that triggers the transition to the RT state is stopped (displayed). In the present embodiment, as described in the RT state transition diagram of FIG. 32 to be described later, when a specific symbol is stopped in “RT0”, “RT2”, “RT3”, it is configured to shift to “RT1”. Yes.

  Next, FIG. 16 shows a lottery probability (also referred to as a winning rate) in which a condition device number (winning number, also referred to as a winning combination) relating to a small combination and a replaying combination in the present embodiment is determined by a winning lottery means. It is a list. In the figure, the winning rate of the condition device number is illustrated. For example, in the case of “winning-E1”, the specific symbol can be stopped, but the probability that the specific symbol actually stops is It does not stop at the indicated probability (80/65536), and in a situation where push order navigation does not occur, it does not answer correctly in the order of the three choices that the three-piece combination will win, and a specific operation If the operation is not performed at the timing, the specific symbol is stopped, and in a situation where push order navigation can occur, if the reel is stopped according to the push order navigation, the three-piece combination will always win a prize. . Specifically, for example, in a situation where the condition device number 42 corresponding to “winning-E1” is determined, (1) when the left stop button D41 is operated in the first stop operation, winning 09 to winning If any three of 12 winning combinations win (2-1) the middle stop button D42 is operated in the first stop operation, the bell symbol stops on the middle reel, and (2-2) the second 2 When the left reel is stopped by the stop operation, either watermelon A or watermelon B (the watermelon pattern constituting the winning prize 13 within 4 frames after receiving the stop operation) is stopped according to the stop operation timing. (2-3) When the right reel is stopped by the third stop operation, the seven symbols (the seven symbols constituting the winning prize 13 within 4 frames after the stop operation is received) are stopped and displayed according to the stop operation timing. And when When operated in a stop operation timing can not stop displaying the emission pattern (operation timing other than seven symbol watermelon A~ symbol number 8 symbol number 4 in the upper part of the right reel) stops displaying the replay A. For this reason, the specific symbol 02 shown in FIG. 10 is stopped and displayed. On the other hand, when the middle stop button D42 is operated in the (3-1) first stop operation, the bell symbol is stopped on the middle reel, and (3-2) the right reel is stopped in the second stop operation. In this case, the seven symbols (the seven symbols constituting the winning prize 13 within 4 frames after the stop operation is received) are stopped and displayed depending on the stop operation timing, and the stop operation timing (right reel) where the seven symbols cannot be stopped and displayed. In the upper stage, when the operation is performed at a timing other than the watermelon A of the symbol number 4 to the seven symbol of the symbol number 8, the replay A is stopped and displayed. (3-3) When the left reel is stopped by the third stop operation, depending on the stop operation timing, watermelon A or watermelon B (the watermelon symbol constituting the winning prize 13 within 4 frames after the stop operation is received) Either of the above is stopped. For this reason, the specific symbol 02 shown in FIG. 10 is stopped and displayed. Thus, when the first stop operation is the middle reel, the right reel is operated at a specific operation timing (the operation timing of the symbol No. 4 watermelon A to symbol No. 8 Seven symbol on the upper stage of the reel). Since the symbol combination corresponding to the winning 13 is configured to be stopped and displayed, the winning probability of the winning 13 is 5/20 (1/4). In addition, if the right reel is operated at a timing other than a specific operation timing (operation timing of watermelon A of symbol number 4 to symbol number 8 on the upper part of the reel), it is not a symbol combination corresponding to winning 13 but a symbol combination. Since the symbol combination corresponding to the symbol is configured to be stopped and displayed, the stop display probability of the specific symbol is 15/20 (3/4).

  Similarly, (4-1) when the right stop button D43 is operated in the first stop operation, the bell symbol is stopped on the right reel, and (4-2) the left reel is stopped in the second stop operation. In the event of a stop operation, either the sheep, watermelon A or watermelon B (the symbol constituting the winning prize 13 within 4 frames after receiving the stop operation) is stopped, and (4-3) the third stop When the middle reel is stopped by the operation, the blank symbol B (the blank symbol B constituting the winning prize 17 within four frames after the stop operation is received) is stopped and displayed depending on the stop operation timing. Stop operation timing at which symbol B cannot be stopped (operation time other than symbol No. 18 sheep, symbol No. 19 replay A, symbol No. 0 cherry to symbol No. 2 blank B symbol in the middle reel) When operated in grayed) stops displaying the cherry symbol. For this reason, the specific symbol 03 described in FIG. 10 is stopped and displayed. On the other hand, when the right stop button D43 is operated in the (5-1) first stop operation, the bell symbol is stopped on the right reel, and (5-2) the middle reel is stopped in the second stop operation. In this case, when the blank symbol B (blank symbol B constituting the winning prize 17 within 4 frames after the stop operation is received) is stopped and displayed by the stop operation timing, and when the blank symbol B cannot be stopped and displayed. If the operation is performed in the middle of the middle reel (designation number 18 sheep, design number 19 replay A, design number 0 cherry to design number 2 blank B design timing), the cherry design is stopped. (5-3) When the left reel is stopped by the third stop operation, sheep or watermelon A or watermelon B (four frames after the stop operation is received) depending on the stop operation timing. One of symbols) constituting the winning 13 to stop display located within. For this reason, the specific symbol 03 described in FIG. 10 is stopped and displayed. As a result, when the first stop operation is the right reel, the middle reel has a specific operation timing (middle of the middle reel, symbol number 18 sheep, symbol number 19 replay A, symbol number 0 cherry to symbol number 2). When the operation is performed at an operation timing other than the blank B symbol), the winning combination probability of winning 17 is 5/20 (1 / 4). In addition, the middle reel is operated at a specific operation timing (operation timing other than symbol No. 18 sheep, symbol No. 19 replay A, symbol No. 0 cherry to symbol No. 2 blank B symbol in the middle stage of the middle reel). In such a case, the symbol combination corresponding to the specific symbol is stopped and displayed instead of the symbol combination corresponding to the winning prize 17, so that the stop display probability of the specific symbol is 15/20 (3/4). It becomes. Although the stop display of the specific symbol when “winning-E1” is determined as the conditional device number has been described, the probability that this specific symbol is stopped is also the same for “winning-E2” to “winning-E6”. It has been calculated.

  For example, when the condition device number 43 corresponding to “winning-E2” is determined and the first stop operation is the middle reel, the timing (1/4) when the sheep symbol is stopped and displayed on the right reel. When operated, the symbol combination corresponding to the winning prize 14 is stopped and displayed, and at the other operation timing (3/4), the specific symbol 02 or the specific symbol 03 is stopped and displayed. In the situation where the condition device number of “Winning-E2” is determined, when the first stop operation is the right reel, the operation is performed at the timing (1/4) at which the watermelon A is stopped and displayed on the middle reel. The symbol combination corresponding to the winning prize 18 is stopped and displayed, and the specific symbol 03 is stopped and displayed at the other operation timing (3/4).

  Further, in a situation where the condition device number 44 corresponding to “winning-E3” is determined, when the first stop operation is the left reel, the timing when the blank B is stopped and displayed on the middle reel (1/4). When operated, the symbol combination corresponding to winning 09 is stopped and displayed, and at the other operation timing (3/4), the specific symbol 01 is stopped and displayed. In the situation where the condition device number of “winning-E3” is determined, when the first stop operation is the right reel, the operation is performed at a timing (1/4) at which the watermelon B is stopped and displayed on the middle reel. The symbol combination corresponding to the winning 19 is stopped and displayed, and the specific symbol 03 is stopped and displayed at the other operation timing (3/4).

  Further, in a situation where the condition device number 45 corresponding to “winning-E4” is determined, when the first stop operation is the left reel, the timing (1/4) at which the watermelon A is stopped and displayed on the middle reel. When operated, the symbol combination corresponding to the winning prize 10 is stopped and displayed, and at the other operation timing (3/4), the specific symbol 01 is stopped and displayed. In the situation where the condition device number of “winning-E4” is determined, when the first stop operation is the right reel, the operation is performed at the timing (1/4) at which the blank A is stopped and displayed on the middle reel. The symbol combination corresponding to the winning 20 is stopped and displayed, and the specific symbol 03 is stopped and displayed at the other operation timing (3/4).

  Further, in a situation where the condition device number 46 corresponding to “winning-E5” is determined, when the first stop operation is the left reel, the timing (1/4) at which the watermelon B is stopped and displayed on the middle reel. When operated, the symbol combination corresponding to the winning prize 11 is stopped and displayed, and the specific symbol 01 is stopped and displayed at the other operation timing (3/4). In the situation where the condition device number of “winning-E5” is determined, when the first stop operation is the middle reel, the operation is performed at the timing (1/4) when the blank A is stopped and displayed on the right reel. The symbol combination corresponding to the winning prize 15 is stopped and displayed, and the specific symbol 02 is stopped and displayed at the other operation timing (3/4).

  Further, in a situation where the condition device number 47 corresponding to “winning-E6” is determined, when the first stop operation is the left reel, the timing when the blank A is stopped and displayed on the middle reel (1/4). When operated, the symbol combination corresponding to the winning prize 12 is stopped and displayed, and the specific symbol 01 is stopped and displayed at the other operation timing (3/4). In the situation where the condition device number of “Winning-E6” is determined, when the first stop operation is the middle reel, the operation is performed at the timing (1/4) when the blank B is stopped and displayed on the right reel. The symbol combination corresponding to the winning 16 is stopped and displayed, and the specific symbol 02 is stopped and displayed at the other operation timing (3/4).

  Further, in the present embodiment, the appearance rate (lottery probability) of the winning combination (particularly the replaying combination) can be different depending on the RT state. (Appearance rate) is higher in the case of “RT3” than in other RT states. In addition, “re-game 03, 04” that can be stopped and displayed in the condition device numbers 7 to 14 (so-called falling re-game players, the combination of symbols corresponding to the re-game players is stopped in a situation where bonuses are not won. When displayed, the normal gaming state ("RT1") will be selected mainly at "RT3" and hardly appear in other RT states. In addition, “re-game 05” that can be stopped and displayed in the condition device numbers 2 to 6 (the promoted re-game that will be promoted to “RT 2” when the symbol combination corresponding to the re-game player is stopped and displayed in RT1. The role) is configured to appear only at “RT1”. In addition, if the symbol combination corresponding to the re-gamer is stopped and displayed on “RT2”, the promotion that will be promoted to “RT3” can be stopped and displayed on the condition device numbers 7 to 11 The “re-game player” is mainly won at “RT2” and hardly appears in other RT states. Note that the transition of the state relating to the RT state and AT associated with the stop display of the symbol combination serving as the re-gamer will be described later. Further, as will be described later, in the present embodiment, the push order display device D270 and the effect display device S40 are configured to execute push order navigation for informing the reel stop order that is most advantageous to the player. If the reels are not stopped in accordance with the push order navigation, the lottery probability of the winning combination to win is different from the value shown in the figure {for example, “RT1” and no push order navigation occurs ( In the “normal game state” and the like, the probability that the bell (7-piece combination) is stopped and displayed is lower than the probability shown in the figure. } There is no problem even if the lottery probability is appropriately changed. Further, in the present embodiment, the bonus is configured to be able to overlap with a small role, and overlaps with a part of weak watermelon, strong watermelon, strong chance eye, etc. (for example, a part of strong watermelon is “Bonus + Strong watermelon”, configured to win “Individual strong watermelon” on 130/65536 and “Bonus + Strong watermelon” on 30/65536). Note that the weak watermelon with the condition device number 48 overlaps with the bonus number 20, the strong watermelon with the condition device number 49 has the placement number 30, and the strong chance with the condition device number 50 has the overlap of the placement number 10 with the bonus. Also, the small role probability shown in the figure is a probability when the BB is not activated, and when the BB is activated, the strong cherry (replay-F) is won with a predetermined probability (for example, 1/100). However, all others are configured so that “Winner-I” (special role in RB) is won. Note that the overlap with the bonus is not limited to the watermelon (small role), and may overlap with a part of the re-game. For example, a part of the strong cherry (replaying combination) of the condition device number 16 or all of the strong cherries (replaying combination) may overlap with the bonus combination (in this embodiment, regardless of the RT state). The number 2 is duplicated with the bonus combination). Further, it may overlap with a part of the RT transition replay (replay-C1 to replay-C5) of the condition device numbers 7 to 11 or all of the RT transition replay (in this embodiment, depending on the RT state). The re-game-C1 to the re-game-C5 may be overlapped by one each (total 5). In this way, by making the bonus overlap with the RT transition replay, the bonus may be won even when the RT transition replay is won. Even if the RT transition replay is stopped, the bonus is denied. Therefore, it is possible to give the player expectations. Thus, for example, the probability of overlapping winning with a bonus combination and any small combination is 60/65536, the probability of overlapping winning with a bonus combination and any replaying combination is 7/65536, and the bonus combination is independent. The probability of winning is determined as 33/65536, and the total value of the probability of winning the bonus combination is 100/65536.

  In addition, the figure illustrates the small role appearance rate when the set value is 1, and in the common bell (condition device number 41), the appearance rate is uniform regardless of the RT state. The appearance rate of the common bell is configured to differ depending on the set value (six levels in this example). Specifically, the number in the setting 1 is 3904, the number in the setting 2 is 4004, the number in the setting 3 is 4104, the number in the setting 4 is 4304, the number in the setting 5 is 4404, and the number in the setting 6 is 4604, and the higher the set value, the higher the appearance rate. By configuring in this way, for example, when a player progresses a game while measuring the number of appearances (winning number) of the common bell, it is related to the gaming machine that is being played by frequently winning the common bell. The game can proceed while expecting that the set value is a relatively high set value. Further, the higher the set value, the higher the expected value per game, and the higher the set value, the higher the payout rate. Although the appearance rate of the common bell is configured to differ depending on the set value, the AT lottery, the AT extra lottery, and the high probability state transition lottery described later are not executed depending on the winning of the common bell. It is configured so as not to affect the state transition lottery.

  The lower part of the figure shows a list of expected values when there is push order navigation. In the figure, when the push order navigation is executed in a state where the push order navigation can be executed in the push order display device D270 and the effect display device S40 in the AT state or the like, the reels are stopped according to the navigation. The average number of payouts per game (the average number of medals to be paid out by winning small roles, also referred to as the expected number of game media obtained in one game) and the expected increase or decrease in medals per game (3 The ratio of the number of medals paid out to the number of medals inserted when a game is played in a bet. When the value is larger than 1, the expected value is positive and the medal is increased. It will be minus and the number of medals will decrease). The number of medals inserted per game (the number of inserted game media when playing one game) is 3, and when the average number of payouts per game is greater than 3, expected to increase or decrease medals per game The value is configured to be larger than 1. As shown in the figure, in this embodiment, the expected increase / decrease value per game is greater than 1 only in the case of “RT3”, and in an RT state other than “RT3” The expected medal increase / decrease value is smaller than 1. The numbers in the figure do not take into account the increase or decrease in medals due to bonuses. In other words, when a game progresses in a situation where push order navigation occurs (when operated in an optimal operation mode, also referred to as an advantageous operation mode), medals increase at “RT3”. In other RT states than “RT3”, medals will decrease. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the expected medal increase / decrease value may be larger than 1 in “RT2” and “RT4”. Note that when the combination of symbols to be replayed is stopped and displayed, the bet number (three) in the previous game is actually automatically bet. However, in calculating the expected increase or decrease in medals in this embodiment, The calculation is based on the assumption that three sheets are paid out. One game may be referred to as one game.

  In each RT state, the average number of payouts per game is 2.752365112 when the RT state is “RT0”, and 2.754410614 when the RT state is “RT1”. When the RT state is “RT3”, it is 2.753876, when the RT state is “RT3”, it is 4.028885, and when the RT state is “RT4”, it is 2.752365. Further, the expected medal increase / decrease value per game in each RT state is 0.917455037 when the RT state is “RT0”, and 0.918034887 when the RT state is “RT1”. When RT is “RT2”, it is 0.917959, when the RT state is “RT3”, it is 1.429296, and when the RT state is “RT4”, it is 0.917455. When there is navigation, the RT state “RT3” is the most advantageous RT state for the player.

  Next, with reference to the block diagram of FIG. 17, an electrical schematic configuration of the rotating type gaming machine P according to the present embodiment will be described. First, in the spinning-type game machine according to the present embodiment, a sub-control board S, a door board D, a spinning board K, a power board E, a relay board IN, centering on a main control board M that controls the progress of the game, A setting key switch M20, a setting / reset button M30, and the like are connected to be able to exchange data. The solid line portion in the figure shows the movement related to the exchange of data, and the broken line portion in the figure shows the power supply route. The power supply route is not limited to this, and for example, power may be supplied from the power supply board E to the relay board IN and the door board D without going through the main control board.

  The main control board (may be referred to as main control means, main board, main control means, main board, and main game unit) M is a board that governs the progress of the entire game performed in the revolving game machine P. A main control chip C is mounted on the main control board M, and a CPU C 100, a built-in ROM C 110, a built-in RAM C 120, and the like are mounted on the main control chip C so as to be able to exchange data with each other via a bus. The main control board M receives a signal indicating that the start lever D50 or the like has been operated from the door board D mounted on the front door DU, and receives the sub-control board S, the door board D, and the rotating board. The operation of these various boards is controlled by outputting a control command (or control signal) toward K etc. {For example, an instruction number (push order number, instruction information, operation information toward the sub-control board S) The sub-control board S can execute push-push navigation on the effect display device S40}.

  Also, the sub control chip SC is mounted on the sub control board (sometimes referred to as sub control means, sub board, sub control means, sub board, sub game unit) S, as with the above-described main control board M. The sub control chip SC is provided with a CPU SC 100, a ROM, a RAM, and the like, and is connected to be exchanged with each other via a bus. The sub-control board S is connected with various LED lamps S10, a speaker S20, an effect display device S40, a rotating backlight (also referred to as a back lamp) S30, and the like. Here, the spinning backlight S30 is a light that is provided inside each of the left reel M51, the middle reel M52, and the right reel M53, and illuminates the pattern drawn on the surface of the reel from the back side. The sub-control board S analyzes the control command received from the main control board M, and outputs various drive signals to the various LED lamps S10, the speaker S20, the effect display device S40, the rotary backlight S30, etc. The production of.

  On the door substrate D, the above-described insertion acceptance sensor D10s, first insertion sensor D20s, second insertion sensor D30s, stop button D40 for stopping the rotating reel M50, start for starting the rotation of the reel M50. The lever D50, the stored game medals (credits) and the inserted game medals are paid out, the settlement button D60 for ending the game, and various display panels D70 for displaying the state of the game (not shown but described above) The inserted number display lamp D210, the operation state display lamp D180, the special game state display apparatus D250, the payout number display apparatus (push order display apparatus) D270, the credit number display apparatus D200, the advantageous section display apparatus YH, etc. , A door switch D80 for opening / closing judgment of front door, cancellation of error and change of set value, are turned on Game medals is determined to be incompatible (or other foreign) blocker D100 like to reimburse the outlet D240 and is connected after. The door substrate D is connected to the main control substrate M described above so as to exchange data. For this reason, when a start lever D50, a stop button D40, a settlement button D60, etc. provided on the front door DU are operated, a signal related to the operation is supplied to the main control board M via the door board D. ing. Further, a signal that the insertion acceptance sensor D10s detects the passage of the game medal is also supplied to the main control board M through the door board D.

  In addition, a rotating motor K10 for rotating the reel M50, a rotating sensor K20 for detecting the rotational position of the reel M50, and the like are connected to the rotating substrate K. The spinning board K can stop the reel M50 at the determined stop position by driving the spinning motor K10 while detecting the rotational position of the reel M50 by the spinning sensor K20. Yes. Further, in the spinning cylinder type gaming machine of the present embodiment, a so-called step motor (stepping motor) is used as the spinning cylinder motor K10. In the step motor, 504 steps are set as the number of steps for one rotation of the reel M50. Each reel (left reel M51, middle reel M52, right reel M53) has a predetermined number of symbols (for example, 20 symbols) having a substantially uniform size, and the number of steps corresponding to one symbol is set. 24 steps (= 20/480) are set. There is no problem even if the number of steps and the number of symbols per reel are changed.

  The medal payout device H is connected to the main control board M via the relay board IN, and pays out a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game medals based on a control signal from the main control board M. Perform the action The medal payout device H includes a first payout sensor H10s and a second payout sensor H20s for determining whether or not a medal has been paid out normally and measuring the number of game medals paid out, and a disk H50. A hopper motor H80 for rotation is connected.

  These various control boards and the power consumed by the boards are supplied from a power supply board E (a board for controlling the presence or absence of power supply by the power switch E10). In FIG. 17, a state in which power is supplied from the power supply board E is represented by a dashed arrow. As shown in the figure, power is directly supplied from the power supply board E to the main control board M and the sub-control board S, and various boards (door board D, rotor board K, relay board IN) Electric power is supplied via the main control board M. A predetermined amount (for example, 100 V) of AC voltage is supplied to the power supply board E, and this electric power is converted into a DC voltage of a specified voltage and then supplied to each control board and board.

  In addition, the main control board M has a setting key switch M20 used for executing a setting change device control process (to change settings), which will be described later, and a setting / reset that can execute setting value change, error cancellation, etc. Button M30 is connected. In addition, the main control board M has a reel control means for controlling the rotation and stop of the reel M50 (the left reel M51, the middle reel M52, and the right reel M53), and an “AT state” which is a state relating to AT that is advantageous to the player. AT lottery means for executing AT transition lottery for shifting to AT, and AT extra lottery for increasing the number of remaining AT games (or the counter value of the AT counter M60), which is the number of games that can stay in the “AT state” And AT addition lottery means to be executed.

  Next, FIGS. 18 to 38 are flowcharts showing the flow of general processing performed by the main control board M in this embodiment.

  The flowchart mainly includes processing steps (illustrated by rectangles), judgments (illustrated by diamonds), flow lines (arrows), terminals indicating start / end / return, etc. (illustrated by rounded rectangles). ing. Moreover, when the details are illustrated in another flowchart among the processing steps, those referring to the other flowchart are illustrated as a subroutine (illustrated by a rectangle in which the left and right lines are double lines). . Here, in the development stage of gaming machines, gaming machines with different specifications are also developed at the same time, but in this example, a subroutine ( (Subroutines that are not normally used) are not left behind, and processing related to unused subroutines that are not normally executed due to noise or fraudulent actions is prevented from being executed.

  First, FIG. 18 is a flowchart showing a flow of processing that is executed for the first time by the CPUC 100 of the main control board M after turning on the power of the revolving game machine P (or at the time of system reset or user reset). . First, after turning on the power of the revolving game machine P in step 1000, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M sets a timer interrupt in step 1002 (here, the timer interrupt is not started but the timer interrupt is not started). Only the type of interrupt is set. In the subsequent processing, when a timer interrupt is started, a flowchart related to timer interrupt processing described later is periodically executed). Next, in step 1004, the CPU C 100 of the main control board M executes serial communication settings (speed, data length, data transmission method settings) and the like as function settings of the main control chip C. Next, in step 1006, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M calculates a checksum from the start address of the RAM area to the address immediately before the checksum area. Next, in step 1008, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M checks the RAM area (for example, based on the calculated checksum and the checksum data held in the checksum area, power-off / power-off recovery) To check whether the data stored in the built-in RAMC 120 is correctly held), and generates power-off recovery data. Next, in step 1010, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M confirms the switch state of the setting key switch M20. Next, in step 1014, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the setting key switch M20 is off.

  In the case of Yes in step 1014, in step 1016, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M turns on / off the power-off processing completion flag in the RAM (turned on in step 1904) and the checksum state of all RAMs (in step 1006). Whether or not the power-off recovery data in the RAM is normal is determined. In the case of Yes in step 1016, in step 1018, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines and sets the RAM initialization range as an unused RAM range (for example, sets it in the register area). Next, in step 1020, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M executes initialization of the RAM area within the initialization range determined in step 1018. Next, in step 1022, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M restores the stack pointer based on the data related to the stack pointer stored in the process at power-off (step 1902). Next, in step 1036, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M refers to the inside of the RAM area, and determines whether or not the data related to the set value in the RAM area is within the normal range (0 to 5 in this example). judge. In the case of Yes in step 1036, in step 1038, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M reads the input port. Next, in step 1040, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M starts the timer interrupt set in step 1002. Next, in step 1042, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M turns off the power-off process completion flag and returns to the process at the time of power-off according to the returned stack pointer.

  If NO in step 1016, in step 1024, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M sets a backup error display (for example, sets an error number in the register area). Next, in step 1300, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M executes a non-recoverable error process described later.

  If No in step 1036, in step 1046, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M sets a setting value error display (for example, displayed on the payout number display device D270) (for example, in the register area). To set). Next, in step 1300, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M executes a non-recoverable error process described later.

  If NO in step 1014, in step 1028, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M turns on / off the power-off processing flag in the RAM (turned on in step 1904) and the checksum state of all RAMs (step The check result at 1006) is referred to, and it is determined whether or not the power-off recovery data in the RAM is normal. In the case of Yes in step 1028, in step 1030, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines and sets the RAM initialization range to a range excluding at least the setting value storage area in the RAM (for example, in the register area). To step 1034. The range that is not included in the RAM initialization range is not limited to the area in which the set value is stored. ) As a result of calculating the number of games, the stay ratio of the “advantageous section”, and the like, the range is not included in the initialization range of the RAM. By configuring in this way, it is possible to calculate and display the ratio of staying in the “favorable section” in the game (advantageous section ratio). The advantageous section ratio calculation process is configured to calculate at the timing when the unit game ends. The advantageous section ratio is displayed when the gaming machine is turned on (for example, displayed on a 4-digit 7-segment display). As a specific display mode, “advantageous section ratio → continuous character ratio per 6000 games → characteristic ratio per 6000 games → cumulative continuous character ratio → cumulative character ratio” at intervals of 5 seconds. It is displayed repeatedly. The continuous character ratio is “the number of payouts when the RB is in operation / the total number of payouts”. The character ratio is “the number of payouts when the RB, CB, or SB is in operation”. / Total number of payouts ”. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1028, in step 1032 the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines and sets the RAM initialization range to all ranges in the RAM (for example, sets in the register area). 1034. Next, in step 1034, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M executes initialization of the RAM area within the initialization range determined in step 1030 or step 1032. Next, in step 1100, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M executes a setting change device control process, which will be described later.

  Although not shown, it is preferable that the initial value (value at the start of processing) of the temporary storage area (RAM area or the like) mounted on the main control board M is not a value at which a special game is executed. (In order to prevent a special game from being erroneously executed when a process for determining whether or not to execute a special game is executed due to noise or fraud immediately after the program processing is started). Although not shown, when a random number such as a winning random number is stored in the RAM area of the main control board M, a dedicated storage area is secured, and the byte storing information related to the random number is stored in the byte. It is preferable to configure to store only the information related to the random number (not to store other information such as various timer values) (when operating other data stored in the same 1 byte, due to noise etc. (To prevent the information related to random numbers from being rewritten).

  Next, FIG. 19 is a flowchart of a setting change device control process related to the subroutine of step 1100 in FIG. 18, and is also referred to as a setting change mode. First, in step 1102, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M sets a stack pointer (initialized with the start address of the process). Next, in step 1104, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M activates a timer interrupt. Next, in step 1106, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the set value in the RAM area is within the normal range (0 to 5 in this example). If the set value is managed from 1 to 6, initialization of the RAM is executed, and when the set value becomes “0”, it is necessary to return to “1”. Therefore, in this example, by managing the normal range of the setting value as 0 to 5, the setting value correction processing (S1106 and S1108) after the initialization of the RAM can be made unnecessary. It becomes possible to shorten the time and the processing capacity. In the case of Yes in Step 1106, in Step 1108, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M sets a predetermined value (for example, 0 = a value that is most disadvantageous for the player) as the set value, and proceeds to Step 1110. On the other hand, also in the case of No in step 1106, the process proceeds to step 1110. Next, in step 1110, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M displays on the error display LED (for example, the number-of-payout display device D270) that the setting change device is operating (for example, “88” for lighting all the segments). Then, a setting value is displayed on a setting display LED (not shown) (the display relating to the setting value is a numerical value obtained by adding 1 to the setting value held in the RAM), and the process proceeds to step 1112. As described above, the number-of-payout display device D270 is also used when notifying the pressing order. Since it is configured in this way, for example, when a failure occurs in a part of a 7-segment LED (there is a segment that cannot be lit), an incorrect information can be notified when the push order is notified. possible. In order to prevent such a situation, it is possible to confirm whether or not 7 segments have failed by causing the payout number display device D270 to turn on all the “7” segments during operation of the setting change device. Providing profits can be prevented. In addition, as a configuration related to the display of the set value, there is a storage area of a RAM for setting value display for storing data obtained by adding 1 to the set value in the storage area for storing the set value. Then, the setting value may be displayed. Although not shown, after executing the processing of step 1110, processing for transmitting a command indicating that the mode is changed to the setting change mode is executed to the sub-control board S side.

  Next, in step 1112, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the setting / reset button M30 has been switched from OFF to ON. In the case of Yes in step 1112, in step 1114, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M adds 1 to the current set value (if the added set value exceeds 5, the set value becomes 0). Then, the process proceeds to step 1116. Note that if the result of Step 1112 is No, the process proceeds to Step 1116. Next, in step 1116, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the start lever D50 has been switched from OFF to ON. In the case of No in step 1116, the process proceeds to step 1112, and the processing in steps 1112 to 1116 is looped. In the case of Yes in step 1116, in step 1118, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the setting key switch M20 has been switched from on to off. If No in step 1118, the process in step 1118 is looped. On the other hand, if Yes in step 1118, in step 1120, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M displays on the error display LED (not shown) that the operation of the setting change device has been completed, and the setting display LED (not shown) The display of the set value is erased, and the process proceeds to a game progress control process in step 1200. Although not shown, after executing the process of step 1120, a process for transmitting a command indicating the end of the setting change mode to the sub-control board S is executed.

  Next, FIG. 20 is a flowchart of non-recoverable error processing relating to the subroutine of step 1300 in FIG. 18 (and called in other flowcharts). First, in step 1302, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M prohibits interruption (hereinafter, a flowchart relating to timer interruption processing described later is not executed). Next, in step 1304, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M sets the output port address and the number of output ports. Next, in step 1306, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M turns off the output ports (in this example, 0 to 6, display output to various LEDs and drive output to various motors). Next, in step 1308, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M sets the next port output address (by repeating this, display output to various LEDs and drive output to various motors are sequentially stopped). Next, in step 1310, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines whether or not output to each output port has been completed. In the case of Yes in step 1310, in step 1312, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M displays a set error display (some error has occurred when executing this process), and the process Is repeated, and the reset signal is input when the power supply voltage decreases, and the process ends. (That is, since an infinite loop is entered, any operation that prompts a return is not accepted). In the case of No in step 1310, the process proceeds to step 1306. The processing from step 1306 to step 1310 is processing for clearing the output to the LED / motor (however, since the external output signal is not cleared, information about the error, game progress status at the time of the error, etc. are displayed on the hall computer side. It is possible to output to

  Next, FIG. 21 is a flowchart of the game progress control process (first sheet) according to the subroutine of step 1200 in FIG. First, in step 1202, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M sets a stack pointer (initialized with the start address of the process). Next, in step 1204, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M sets data in the RAM area necessary for the game (for example, the upper limit number of bets, the effective line for winning, etc.). Step 1204 is data for clearing data used in the previous game {eg, condition device number (winning number), production group number, instruction information} (“0” for clearing the RAM address). (Data) is also included in the RAM. In addition, you may make it comprise so that the number selected when the next game was performed may be overwritten, without clearing a condition apparatus number, production group number, instruction information, etc. Next, in step 1205, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M sets the RT state (for example, “RT0” or the like) in the game (sets the RT state determined in step 1704 in FIG. 30). Then, the set RT state is transmitted to the sub-side. Note that the processing for setting the RT state may be executed in step 1704 of FIG. In step 1704, the RT state may be transmitted to the sub-side. Further, when the RT state is transmitted to the sub-side, it is not always necessary to transmit the RT state, and the RT state may be transmitted to the sub-side only when the game section is an “advantageous section”. Next, in step 1206, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M sets a state relating to AT in the game (for example, “AT state”) (AT determined in step 1428, step 1438, and step 1442 in FIG. 24). Set the state for). In step 1206, the status regarding the set AT is also transmitted to the sub-side. Further, the process for setting the state relating to the AT may be executed in step 1428, step 1438, and step 1442 in FIG. In addition, when the state related to the AT is transmitted to the sub-side, it is not always necessary to transmit the state, and the state related to the AT may be transmitted to the sub-side only when the game section is an “advantageous section”. Next, in step 1207, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M sets a game section (for example, “advantageous section”, etc.) in the game (step 3510, step 3516, step 3520, step 3524 or step 3526 in FIG. 35). Set the game section determined in step 1). Next, in step 1208, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the medal payout device H is full of game medals. Specifically, a subtank (not shown) for storing medals overflowing from the medal payout device H is provided, and a determination is made based on current conduction / non-conduction by a plurality of full detection sensors provided in the subtank (via the medal). If the current is conducted, it is determined to be full). If Yes in step 1208, the process proceeds to step 1218.

  On the other hand, if No in step 1208, in step 1210, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M turns on the medal full error flag (for example, updates the medal full error flag area in the RAM area with a value corresponding to on). ). Next, in step 1212, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M displays an error number corresponding to the medal full error with a 7-segment LED (for example, a storage display LED or an acquired number LED). Next, in step 1214, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the medal full error has been canceled (for example, whether or not the current from the sub tank is non-conductive and the set / reset button M30 has been pressed). To do. If Yes in step 1214, in step 1216, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M turns off the medal full error flag (for example, updates the medal full error flag area in the RAM area with a value corresponding to off), The process proceeds to 1218. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1214, the process proceeds to step 1212. Next, in step 1218, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M permits the medal insertion acceptance (the insertion operation is automatically executed in the next game of the re-gamer), and the next process (step 1220). The process proceeds to (1). Here, in Step 1218, the blocker D100 is turned on (process formed by the medal flow path). Specifically, when a re-game player is established in the previous game, the blocker D100 is turned on on the condition that the current storage number (credit) is less than a predetermined value (50 in this example). Run. In other words, when the current storage number (credit) is a predetermined value, the ON process of the blocker D100 is not executed. On the other hand, when the re-game combination is not established in the previous game, the blocker D100 is turned on uniformly. With this configuration, even when a re-game player is established, if the number of stored credits does not reach a predetermined value, a game medal can be inserted, such as “RT1”. When you are staying in an RT state (for example, “RT3”) that has a higher probability of winning a re-gamer than in the RT state, or when you are looking at a re-gamer that is difficult to recognize as a re-gamer ( Even if the bell-bell-bell on the invalid line or the symbol combination in which the cherry is stopped on the left reel is stopped, the player can play the game with a good rhythm (without a sense of incongruity).

  Next, FIG. 22 is a flowchart of the game progress control process (second sheet) according to the subroutine of step 1200 in FIG. First, in step 1220, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines whether or not a game medal is bet and no credit exists. In the case of Yes in step 1220, in step 1221, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M satisfies the setting display conditions (for example, the conditions are satisfied when the door switch D80 and the setting key switch M20 are all turned on). Determine whether or not. In the case of Yes in step 1221, in step 1222, the CPU C 100 of the main control board M is set to a setting display LED (not shown, but may be a payout number display device D 270, a credit number display device D 200, or an insertion number display light D 210). A value is displayed (transition to the setting confirmation mode), and the process proceeds to step 1221 on condition that the setting key switch M is turned off. It should be noted that when the transition condition for the setting change mode is satisfied, a process for transmitting a command indicating that the setting change mode is started to the sub-control board S side, and when the end condition for the setting change mode is satisfied, the setting change mode is set. A process for transmitting a command indicating that the process is to be terminated is executed. In the case of No in step 1220 or step 1221, in step 1224, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M executes management related to game medal insertion and settlement. Next, in step 1225, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M confirms the number of game medals that can be accepted. Next, in step 1226, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the blocker D100 is on. In the case of Yes in step 1226, in step 1227, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the first insertion sensor D20s or the second insertion sensor D30s is on (in this embodiment, the medal is inserted). There are two insertion sensors for detection, and when the first insertion sensor D20s or the second insertion sensor D30s is turned on, it is determined that one game medal has been received). In the case of Yes in step 1227, in step 1230, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the first input sensor D20s and the second input sensor D30s are off (the first input sensor D20s or the second input). When the first insertion sensor D20s and the second insertion sensor D30s are turned off after the sensor D30s is turned on, it is determined that one received game medal has passed the first insertion sensor D20s and the second insertion sensor D30s. ). In the case of Yes in step 1230, in step 1231, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines that the insertion of one normal game medal has been accepted. Although not shown, after step 1231, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the credit is the upper limit number (50 in this example) and the bet number is the maximum number (3 in this example). If the determination is Yes, the blocker D100 is controlled to be off (a state where no medal flow path is formed). If No in step 1230, the process in step 1230 is repeated, and if no in step 1226 or step 1227, the process proceeds to step 1232.

  Next, in step 1232, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the settlement button D60 has been operated. In the case of Yes in step 1232, in step 1233, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines whether or not there are remaining credits or bet gaming medals. In the case of Yes in step 1233, in step 1234, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M turns on a hopper drive flag (a flag in the RAM area, which is turned on when the hopper motor H80 is driven), and the game The payout of one medal is executed. Next, in step 1236, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the first payout sensor H10s or the second payout sensor H20s is on (in this embodiment, for detecting the payout of medals). It has two payout sensors, and when the first payout sensor H10s or the second payout sensor H20s is turned on, it is determined that the payout operation of one game medal is being performed). If Yes in step 1236, the process proceeds to step 1247. Here, although not explicitly shown in the flowchart, only the remaining number of credits is to be settled when the previous game was a re-game player.

  On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1236, in step 1241, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines whether or not a predetermined time (for example, 5 seconds) has elapsed since the hopper was driven (after the processing timing of step 1234). . Specifically, whether or not a situation in which it is determined that a medal has not been paid out has continued for a predetermined period of time despite transmission of a hopper drive signal to the hopper motor H80 (the hopper motor H80 is rotating). Determine whether or not. If YES in step 1241, in step 1242, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M turns on the medal empty error flag (for example, updates the medal empty error flag area with a value corresponding to ON). Next, in step 1244, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M executes a medal empty error display. Next, in step 1245, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the medal empty error has been canceled (for example, whether or not the setting / reset button M30 has been pressed). In the case of Yes in step 1245, in step 1246, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M turns off the medal empty error flag (for example, updates the medal empty error flag area in the RAM area with a value corresponding to OFF). The process proceeds to 1247. On the other hand, if No at step 1245, the process proceeds to step 1244.

  Next, in step 1247, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the first payout sensor H10s and the second payout sensor H20s are off (the first payout sensor H10s or the second payout sensor H20s is on). Then, when the first payout sensor H10s and the second payout sensor H20s are turned off, it is determined that the payout operation of one game medal on which the payout operation has been performed is completed). In the case of Yes in step 1247, in step 1248, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M turns off the hopper drive flag and proceeds to step 1233. If step 1241 or step 1247 is No, the process proceeds to step 1236.

  On the other hand, if No in Step 1232 or Step 1233, the CPU C100 of the main control board M has a valid start lever D50 in Step 1251 (for example, a specified number of game medals for starting a game have been inserted, etc.) ) And whether or not the start lever D50 has been operated is determined. In the case of Yes in step 1251, in step 1253, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the set value in the RAM area is within a normal range (0 to 5 in this example). In the case of Yes in step 1253, in step 1254, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M performs processing for acquiring random numbers and turning off the blocker D100, and then proceeds to the next processing (processing in step 1257). On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1253, in step 1256, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M sets a setting value error display (for example, sets an error number in the register area). Next, in step 1300, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M executes a non-recoverable error process. If the result is No in step 1251, the process proceeds to step 1220.

  Next, FIG. 23 is a flowchart of the game progress control process (third sheet) according to the subroutine of step 1200 in FIG. First, in step 1257, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M starts an internal lottery (lottery for determining a winning combination that can be won in the game). Next, in step 1400, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M executes an AT state transition control process, which will be described later. Next, in step 1450, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M executes a conditional device number management process, which will be described later. Next, in step 1259, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the current state regarding the AT is a state in which the AT can be added and lottery is possible. Here, the states related to the AT that can execute the AT addition lottery according to the present embodiment are “AT in preparation”, “AT in progress”, and “AT in progress BB”, and “in-AT BB internal game ", The AT counter value may be greater than 0, but the AT is added and the lottery is not executed. This is in order to prevent the player from making it difficult for the player not to make the BB symbol combination uniform in the “AT inside BB internal game”. In addition, the state related to the AT in which the AT addition lottery can be executed is not limited to the aspect of the present embodiment. For example, the AT addition lottery may be executed even in an “AT precursor state” described later. In the case of Yes in step 1259, in step 1500, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M executes a lever-time game number addition execution process, which will be described later, and proceeds to step 1550. On the other hand, also in the case of No in step 1259, the process proceeds to step 1550. In this lever-time game number addition execution process, it is possible to execute a lottery using a different lottery table depending on the state related to the AT, but the lottery probability does not differ depending on the set value (the same lottery table is used). And a lottery is performed). Note that if the result is No in step 1259, the process proceeds to step 1550.

  Here, states related to the AT in this example are listed and described in detail (also shown in the AT state transition diagram of FIG. 33). (1) The “normal game state” is a state in which an AT is not won (a right to shift to the “AT state” is not acquired) and a bonus combination is not won. (2) The “AT precursor state” is a state in which the AT is won (the right to shift to the “AT state” has been acquired), but AT (push order navigation) has not started ( AT is started when the number of AT precursor games becomes “0”). (3) “Preparing AT” means a state in which an AT is won (the right to transition to “AT state” has been acquired) and stays until the most advantageous RT state is transitioned. (Navigation) is performed, but the AT remaining game number (AT counter value) is not subtracted. (4) The “AT state” is a state in which AT (push order navigation) is performed and the number of AT remaining games (AT counter value) is subtracted. (5) “Normal BB internal game” is a state in which the BB combination is won in the “normal game state” and the BB combination is not won. (6) “In-AT BB internal game” is a state in which the BB role is won in “AT precursor state”, “AT in preparation”, or “AT state”. In addition, a state where the BB combination is won in the “AT precursor state” and the BB combination is not won may be set as “normal BB internal game”. (7) The “normal BB state” is a state that is executed when the symbol combination corresponding to the BB combination is stopped and displayed in the “normal BB inside game”. (8) The AT BB state is a state that is executed when the symbol combination corresponding to the BB combination is stopped and displayed in the “AT internal BB internal game”.

  Next, in step 1550, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M executes a reel rotation start preparation process, which will be described later. Next, in step 1260, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M starts to rotate all reels. Next, in step 1261, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M requests a pull-in point creation request (required for determining the stop positions of the rotating left reel M51, middle reel M52, and right reel M53, It is determined whether or not there is an appropriate request according to the reel stop position. In the case of Yes in step 1261, in step 1262, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M creates a pull-in point, and proceeds to step 1263. On the other hand, also in the case of No in step 1261, the process proceeds to step 1263. Next, in step 1263, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M executes a reel stop acceptance check. Next, in step 1264, the CPU C100 of the main control board M determines whether any stop button (left stop button D41, middle stop button D42, right stop button D43) has been operated. In the case of Yes in step 1264, in step 1265, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines the stop position of the reel corresponding to the operated stop button (for example, the left reel M51 corresponds to the left stop button D41). Then, the process proceeds to step 1266. On the other hand, also in the case of No in step 1264, the process proceeds to step 1266. Next, in step 1266, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M executes an all reel stop check process. Next, in step 1267, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines whether all the reels (the left reel M51, the middle reel M52, and the right reel M53) have stopped. In the case of Yes in step 1267, in step 1268, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M compares the symbol stop position data in the RAM with the internal winning combination stop possible position data. Next, in step 1269, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the displayed symbol combination is normal (if it does not coincide with the winning combination determined by the internal lottery, it is abnormal. Is determined). If Yes in step 1269, the process proceeds to step 1274. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1269, in step 1270, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M sets a display determination error display (for example, sets in the register area). Next, in step 1300, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M executes a non-recoverable error process. On the other hand, if No in step 1267, the process proceeds to step 1261.

  Next, in step 1274, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M executes a game medal payout process by winning. Next, in step 1275, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines whether or not there is a prize for paying out game medals {the game medals earned by winning the prize exceeds the maximum number of credits (50 in this example). If so, game medals are paid out}. In the case of Yes in step 1275, in step 1276, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M turns on a hopper drive flag (a flag that is turned on when the hopper motor H80 is driven), and pays out one game medal. . Next, in step 1277, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the first payout sensor H10s or the second payout sensor H20s is on (the first payout sensor H10s or the second payout sensor H20s is on). Then, it is determined that one game medal is being paid out). If Yes in step 1277, the process proceeds to step 1286.

  On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1277, in step 1279, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines whether or not a predetermined time (for example, 5 seconds) has elapsed since the hopper was driven (after the processing timing in step 1276). . In the case of Yes in step 1279, in step 1280, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M turns on the medal empty error flag (for example, updates the medal empty error flag area in the RAM area with a value corresponding to ON). Next, in step 1281, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M executes a medal empty error display with a 7-segment LED. Next, in step 1282, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the medal empty error has been canceled (for example, whether or not the setting / reset button M30 has been pressed). In the case of Yes in Step 1282, in Step 1283, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M turns off the medal empty error flag (for example, updates the medal empty error flag area in the RAM area with a value corresponding to OFF). Move to 1286. On the other hand, if No in step 1282, the process proceeds to step 1281.

  Next, in step 1286, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the first payout sensor H10s and the second payout sensor H20s are off (the first payout sensor H10s or the second payout sensor H20s is on). Then, when the first payout sensor H10s and the second payout sensor H20s are turned off, it is determined that the payout operation of one game medal on which the payout operation has been performed is completed). In the case of Yes in step 1286, in step 1288, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M turns off the hopper drive flag and proceeds to step 1290. If No in step 1279 or step 1286, the process proceeds to step 1277. Next, in step 1290, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the payout corresponding to the winning (the winning that becomes Yes in step 1275) is completed. If Yes in step 1290, the process proceeds to step 3400. In the case of No in step 1286, the process proceeds to step 1277, and in the case of No in step 1275, the process proceeds to step 3400.

  Next, in step 3400, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M executes a remaining game number management process, which will be described later. Next, in step 1700, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M executes RT state transition control processing, which will be described later. Next, in step 1750, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M executes an AT state start control process, which will be described later. Next, in step 3500, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M executes a game section transition control process, which will be described later. Next, in step 1293, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M executes game end processing (for example, clearing the number of bets, game state transition processing, etc.), and proceeds to the next processing (step 1202 processing).

  Next, FIG. 24 is a flowchart of the AT state transition control process according to the subroutine of Step 1400 of FIG. 23 in the present embodiment. First, in step 1404, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the current state relating to the AT is a state relating to the AT capable of performing AT lottery. In the present embodiment, the AT-related states for which AT lottery can be executed are “low probability state” and “high probability state”, that is, AT lottery can be executed only in the “normal gaming state”. It is configured. In the case of Yes in step 1404, in step 1406, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the current lottery state is a high probability state. In the case of Yes in step 1406, in step 1408, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M indicates that the condition device related to the game is a high-accuracy AT lottery (a condition device that can execute an AT lottery in a high probability state. Then, it is determined whether or not it is a strong watermelon, a weak watermelon, a strong chance eye, and a BB role). In this embodiment, the “normal gaming state” is divided into a “low probability state” and a “high probability state”, and the AT winning rate (AT (The winning rate of the acquisition lottery for the right to shift to the middle state) will be different. Even if it is considered that the “normal gaming state” is a state related to one AT and the “normal gaming state” has two lottery states of “low probability state” and “high probability state”. no problem. In this embodiment, the AT winning rate related to the AT lottery is different when the state related to the AT is different. However, if the state related to the AT is the same, the setting value may be different. The AT winning rate related to the AT lottery is the same.

  In the case of Yes in step 1408, in step 1410, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M refers to a high probability AT lottery table (a table having a higher probability of winning the AT lottery than the low probability AT lottery table described later). Then, the AT shift lottery is executed with the lottery probability based on the condition device number related to the game, and the process proceeds to step 1416. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1406, in other words, if the current lottery state is “low probability state”, in step 1412, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines that the condition device related to the game is a low-accuracy AT lottery. It is determined whether or not it is a combination (a condition device that can execute an AT lottery in a low probability state, and in this example, it is a strong watermelon, a strong chance, and a BB combination). In the case of Yes in step 1412, in step 1414, the CPUMC of the main control board M refers to the low probability AT lottery table (the table having a lower probability of winning the AT lottery than the high probability AT lottery table described above). Then, the AT shift lottery is executed with the lottery probability based on the condition device number related to the game, and the process proceeds to step 1416. Next, in step 1416, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the executed AT lottery is won. In the case of Yes in step 1416, in step 1418, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines the state relating to the AT after the next game as “AT precursor state” (see FIG. 33), and proceeds to step 1420. It should be noted that the process also proceeds to step 1420 even if No in step 1404, step 1408, step 1412, or step 1416.

  Next, in step 1420, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the current lottery state is a “low probability state”. In the case of Yes in step 1420, in step 1422, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines that the condition device related to the game is a state promotion role (a small state that can shift from a “low probability state” to a “high probability state” by winning). In this example, it is determined whether or not it is a weak watermelon. In the case of Yes in step 1422, in step 1424, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M refers to the high probability state transition lottery table and executes a high probability state transition lottery to win based on the condition device number related to the game. Here, an example of the high probability state transition lottery table is shown in the upper right of the figure. In this embodiment, the lottery state shifts from the “low probability state” to the “high probability state” with the weak watermelon. The winning rate of the high probability state transition lottery with a weak watermelon is 1/10. Next, in step 1426, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the high probability state transition lottery is won (for example, whether or not the latched random number value is within the winning range). ). In the case of Yes in step 1426, in step 1428, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines the state relating to the AT after the next game as a “high probability state” (see FIG. 33), and proceeds to step 1440.

  In the case of No in step 1420, in step 1430, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the current lottery state is a “high probability state”. In the case of Yes in step 1430, in step 1432, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M executes a low-probability state transition lottery that wins with a predetermined probability (1/7 in this example). Next, in step 1434, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the low probability state transition lottery has been won. In the case of Yes in step 1434, in step 1436, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the low probability transition condition is satisfied. Here, in the present embodiment, when the state related to the AT is “high probability state”, the gaming section is “advantageous section” (see FIG. 34), and the gaming section is “advantageous section”. Is not satisfied that the push order navigation is executed one or more times, BB is executed one or more times, or a predetermined number of games (1500 games in this example) “continuous section” is not satisfied. The “advantageous section” is configured not to end (that is, even if the low-probability state transition lottery is won, the low-probability transition condition is not satisfied because the push order navigation is not executed once or more, etc. , "High probability state" is configured not to end). In the case of Yes in step 1436, in step 1438, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines the state relating to the AT after the next game as “low probability state”, and proceeds to step 1440. It should be noted that the process also proceeds to step 1440 even in the case of No in step 1422, step 1426, step 1430, step 1434, or step 1436. Note that such a lottery method is merely an example. For example, after shifting to the “high probability state”, the low probability state transition lottery is not executed for 10 games (staying in the “high probability state” is guaranteed). ), A lottery that shifts from a “high probability state” to a “low probability state” with a predetermined probability (for example, 1/20) in each game after the 10 games have elapsed may be executed. Further, the low-probability state transition lottery may be configured to be executed by lottery based on the condition device number, for example, all of the push order bell combination (winning-A1 to C6) or part of the push order bell combination. It may be configured to win with a predetermined probability when winning (winning-A1 to A6). It should be noted that the AT lottery (low-accuracy AT lottery, high-accuracy AT lottery) and the state promotion combination have the same winning probability in all set values.

  Next, in step 1440, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the state transition condition regarding the AT is satisfied (for example, as shown in FIG. Satisfies when the number of games is digested). In the case of Yes in Step 1440, in Step 1442, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines the state related to the AT after the next game (for example, as shown in FIG. 33, the precursor game in the “AT precursor state”). If the number is digested, it is determined as “AT ready” and the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 3500).

  The upper part of the figure is an example of a high-probability AT lottery table and a low-probability AT lottery table, but in this embodiment, the AT winning rate is configured to be different depending on the lottery state. In the “high probability state”, it is easier to win the AT transfer lottery (however, the winning probability of the AT transfer lottery for each condition device number may be changed as appropriate). Thus, in this embodiment, the low-accuracy AT lottery role is a strong watermelon, strong chance, and BB role, while the high-accuracy AT lottery role is strong watermelon, weak watermelon, strong chance eye, and BB role. Therefore, the weak watermelon is configured to execute the AT lottery only in the “high probability state”. Here, as shown in FIG. 34, the “high probability state” corresponds to the “favorable section”, and the “low probability state” corresponds to the “normal section”. However, the AT lottery can be executed, while the AT lottery is not executed in the “normal section”. Further, the weak watermelon is configured to be able to execute a high-probability state transition lottery in the “low-probability state” that is the “normal section”. That is, although details will be described later, the “advantageous section” that can be shifted by winning the weak watermelon in the “normal section” is configured to have only the “high probability state”. In the present embodiment, the AT lottery can be executed even when the BB combination is established. When the AT lottery executed when the BB combination is established, It is configured to be able to shift to one “standby section”.

  Next, FIG. 25 is a flowchart of conditional device number management processing according to the subroutine of step 1450 of FIG. 23 in the present embodiment. First, in step 1451, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the current game section is an “advantageous section”. In the case of Yes in step 1451, in step 1452, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M is a command related to the condition device related to the game (a command on the sub control board S side, for example, information on the condition device number related to the game) Command). Next, in step 1453, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines the state related to AT in which the state related to AT is push order navigation (“high probability state”, “AT ready”, “AT in progress”, “AT in progress”). It is determined whether or not it is a state relating to an AT of “BB inside game” and “BB state during AT”. In this example, displaying the stop order of the reels that is most profitable to the player by the push order display device D270 and the effect display device S40 is referred to as push order navigation. In the case of Yes in step 1453, in step 1454, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the condition device related to the game has a push order combination (condition device having a different winning combination depending on the push order). To do. In the case of Yes in step 1454, in step 1458, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines an instruction number (also referred to as a pressing order number) in the game based on the condition device number of the game, and stores the instruction number. Is stored in a RAM address (an address different from the RAM address for displaying push order navigation). The instruction number is information related to the order of pressing, and in this example, the main control board M is determined and transmitted to the sub control board S (details will be described later). Further, the sub control board S can display the push order navigation on the effect display device S40 by receiving the instruction number. Note that the instruction number is determined (not shown, but the instruction number becomes an initial value based on clearing the instruction number) even when the push order navigation is not executed. In addition, when a pushing order hitting game is executed, a predetermined instruction number (for example, AX) dedicated to the pushing order hitting game may be determined. Next, in step 1460, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M executes push order navigation display on the push order display device D270 based on the determined instruction number. Next, in step 1466, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M sets a command (command to the sub side) related to the instruction number determined in step 1458 (for example, sets in the register area), and proceeds to step 1472. .

  If NO in step 1451, step 1453, or step 1454, in step 1468, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M executes mask processing on the condition device number of the game, and the masked information is stored in a predetermined address in the RAM. To remember. Here, when the information related to the condition device number related to the game is transmitted to the sub-control board S side, if the information related to the condition device number is recognized by an illegal act, the high profit related to the game That is, the pushing order (reel stop order) will be recognized. Therefore, in this example, the sub-control board S is executed after executing the mask process {the process of concealing the information related to the condition device number (especially the information related to the pressing order)} to the information related to the condition device number related to the game. It is configured so that a highly profitable push order cannot be recognized. In this embodiment, as a mask processing method, a plurality of condition device numbers (condition device numbers having similar roles are preferable. A plurality of condition device numbers that can be set as one production group number (for example, the condition device numbers 2 to 6 are production group 2), and the production group number is transmitted to the sub-control board S side. . Note that the mask processing method is not limited to this. For example, a condition device number after mask processing is newly provided after the provided condition device number (1 to 51 in this example). May be. Also in such a case, it is desirable to provide a condition device number after masking processing using a plurality of condition device numbers as one condition device number among existing condition device numbers such as production group numbers ( For example, the condition device numbers 2 to 6 are set as the condition device number 54 that is the condition device number after the mask processing). If it is determined that the game is a game for notifying operation information (push order navigation) based on the state of the AT on the main control board M, the condition device number is transmitted to the sub-control board S side, and the operation information is displayed. In games that are not notified, the production group number may be transmitted to the sub-control board S side.

  Next, in step 1470, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M sets a command (command to the sub side) related to the effect group number after executing the mask processing (for example, sets in the register area). 1472 is entered. Next, in step 1472, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M sets a command (command to the sub side) related to the bonus condition device number (the sub side can recognize whether or not the bonus has been won). For example, it is set in the register area), and the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 1259). In this example, what is referred to only as the condition device number is the condition device number for the small combination / replay combination and is different from the bonus condition device number. In addition, as shown in the lower part of the figure, examples of the push order navigation display are as follows: (1) If a fall re-playing role is included → Push order that does not become a fall re-playing role Navigation, (2) If the promotion re-gamer is included → Navigate the push order that the promotion re-gamer will be stopped, (3) In the case of the bell (three-card combination, seven-card combination) → the most paid out number In the case of “AT state”, (1) When the fall replaying role is included → The push order in which the fall replaying role is not displayed is stopped. Navi, (2) When a promoted re-gamer is included → Navigate the push order that the promoted re-gamer is stopped, (3) In the case of a bell (3-card / 7-card) → The most paid out It is structured like navigation, etc. with increasing push order. As described above, in the present embodiment, when the game section is an “advantageous section”, the condition device number (the winning combination type and the most advantageous pushing order for the player can be identified on the sub-control board S side. Number) and instruction numbers (numbers that can specify the most advantageous pushing order for the player), while the game section is a game section that is not an “advantageous section” (“normal section” or “ In the case of “standby section”, the production group number (a number that can specify only the outline of the winning combination) can be transmitted to the sub-control board S side. That is, in the “advantageous section”, information related to the condition device number relating to the game, including condition devices whose game results and player profits differ depending on the pressing order, can be transmitted to the sub-control board S side as it is. On the other hand, in a game section that is not an “advantageous section”, information regarding the condition device number relating to the game is not transmitted, and in the case of a condition device in which the game result and the player's profit differ depending on the order of push, The production group number in which such information is concealed is transmitted to the sub-control board S side.

  Next, FIG. 26 shows an example of the effect group number list of the spinning reel game machine according to the present embodiment. As described above, when the game section is not an “advantageous section”, when the information related to the condition device number determined by the main control board M is transmitted to the sub-control board S, the mask process is executed and the effect group The number is determined, and the production group number is transmitted to the sub control board S. The production group number is the condition device number and the winning combination that has the same role (for example, the replaying role including the promoted replaying role, the replaying role including the falling replaying role, the push order bell, etc.) Are grouped and assigned numbers. A mask process {processing for concealing information (specifically, information related to the pressing order) related to the condition device number} is performed on the information related to the condition device number related to the game, and then transmitted to the sub-control board S. Thus, it is possible to prevent a situation in which the information related to the conditional device number is recognized by an illegal act and the pushing order (reel stop order) which is a high profit related to the game is recognized. Hereinafter, the processing until the production group number is transmitted to the sub-control board S side will be described in detail.

  As processing on the main control board M side related to the effect group number, (1) a winning / replay winning number stored in the RAM related to the game is stored in a first register (for example, A register). The winning / replay winning number corresponds to the condition device number shown in FIG. 16 in this embodiment. Further, the winning number of the bonus combination when the bonus combination is won is stored in another storage area of the RAM. (2) The start address of the “production group number designation table” in which the production group numbers stored in the ROM are stored in the second register (for example, the HL register). This table defines which effect group number is designated in correspondence with the replay winning number. When the head address is the X address, the X group has an effect group number “0” corresponding to the winning / replay winning number 0. The (X + 1) address is set to the effect group number “1” corresponding to the winning / replay winning number 1 and the (X + 2) address is the effect group number corresponding to the winning / replay winning number 2. “2” is defined, and the (X + 3) address is defined with the production group number “2” corresponding to the winning / replay winning number 3 and the (X + n) address. It is defined is "Y" director group number corresponding to the winning and re-game winning numbers n is in}. (3) An effect group number is acquired from the effect group number designation table by an arithmetic process using the first register and the second register (specifically, an addition process of the first register and the second register). In other words, the winning / replay winning number is used as an offset value, and the effect group number is obtained from the effect group number designation table in the register. (The obtained effect group number may be stored in a predetermined storage area of the RAM.) (4) The effect group number is stored (stored) in a buffer (RAM) for transmitting to the sub-control board S.

  When such processing is performed uniformly, the mask processing is performed regardless of the gaming state (specifically, “AT state”, “normal gaming state”, etc.) on the main control board M side, and the pressing order number. Therefore, the number of judgment limbs is reduced, and the program of the main control board M can be simplified.

  As a specific example of the correspondence between the production group number and the condition device number, for example, when the condition device number is 0 (losing), the production group number is 0, and the condition device number is 1 (replay-A) ( If the replay is normal), the production group number is 1, and the condition device number is 2 to 6 (replay-B1 to replay-B5) (RT transition replay is win), the production group number is 2, and the condition device In the case of numbers 7 to 11 (replay-C1 to replay-C5) (RT transfer replay is won), the production group number is 3 and the condition device numbers 12 to 14 (replay-D1 to replay-D3) In the case (RT transfer replay is won), the production group number is 4 and the condition device number 15 (replay-E) (the weak cherry is won), the production group number is 5 and the condition device number 16 (replay- F) (strong cherry is this ), When the production group number is 6 and the condition device number 17 (replay-G1) (push order cherry wins), when the production group number is 7 and the condition device number 18 (replay -G2) (push If the order cherry is elected), the production group number is 8, and the condition device number 19 (re-game-G3) (push order cherry is elected), the production group number is 9, the condition device number 20 (re-game-H1) In the case of (the push order chance wins), the production group number is 10, and in the case of the condition device number 21 (replay-H2) (the push order chance wins), the production group number is 11, the condition device number 22 In the case of (replay-H3) (pushing order chance wins), the production group number is 12, and the condition device numbers 23 to 28 (winning-A1-winning-A6) (pushing order bell wins) Production group number 3. In the case of condition device numbers 29 to 34 (winning-B1 to winning-B6) (push order bell wins), the production group number is 14 and the condition device numbers 35 to 40 (winning-C1 to winning-C6) In the case (pushing order bell is won), the production group number is 15, and the condition device number 41 (winning-D) (the common bell is winning), the production group number is 16, and the condition device numbers 42 to 47 (winning- In the case of E1-Winning-E6) (Three winning combinations that can stop specific symbols are elected), in the case of production group number 17 and conditional device number 48 (Winning-F) (weak watermelon wins), production group When the number is 18 and the conditional device number is 49 (winning-G) (strong watermelon is won), the production group number is 19 and the conditional device number is 50 (winning-H) (strong chance is winning) Group number 20 and conditional device number 51 In the case of (winning-I) (the special role in the RB is won), the production group number is 21. It should be noted that, in the specification for executing the above-described pushing order hitting game (game executed when any of the condition device numbers 17 to 22 is won), at least one of the condition device numbers 17 to 22 is won. In order to keep it secret, for example, it is desirable to set the condition device numbers 17 to 19 to the same effect group number and set the condition device numbers 20 to 22 to the same effect group number.

  Next, FIG. 27 is a flowchart of the process for adding the number of games at the time of the lever, according to the subroutine of step 1500 in FIG. First, in step 1502, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M adds a condition device number related to the game to a winning combination at the time of winning (regardless of whether or not a prize is won, a conditional device that can increase the number of remaining AT games by winning. In this example, weak watermelon (condition device number 48), strong watermelon (condition device number 49), weak cherry (condition device number 15), strong cherry (condition device number 16), strong chance (condition device) No. 50) and whether or not it is a push order bell (condition device numbers 23 to 28)). In the case of Yes in step 1502, in step 1508, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M refers to the extra game number lottery table (for example, a lottery table provided in the ROM area) at the time of winning, and determines the AT extra game number. Determine (for example, determine in which range the latched random number value falls within the lottery table shown outside the column). Note that determining the number of AT extra games is also referred to as performing AT extra lottery. Next, in step 1510, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M adds the determined AT added game number to the counter value of the AT counter M60, sets the AT counter value after the addition in the AT counter M60, The process proceeds to the process (the process of Step 1550). It should be noted that the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 1550) also in the case of No in step 1502.

  Here, the lottery table shown outside the figure is an example of the extra game number lottery table at the time of winning, and in this embodiment, a part of the state related to the AT in which push order navigation is executed (in this example, “ If the winning combination is won at the time of winning in the "AT preparation in progress", "AT in progress", "AT in BB internal status", "AT in BB status"), the number of AT extra games is "0" to " 300 "is determined by lottery, and the determined value is added to the counter value of the AT counter M60. When “0” is determined, the AT remaining game number does not increase.

  In addition, the average value (expected value) of the number of AT added games when winning the winning combination at the time of winning is a value as shown in the figure, and the winning combination is a weak watermelon as a specific calculation method. In this case, {number (900) × AT additional number of games (0) + number (50) × AT additional number of games (10) + number (50) × AT additional number of games (30) + number ( 24) × AT addition number of games (100)} / total number of entries (1024) = 4.3 (game).

  Next, when the winning combination is a strong watermelon, {number (500) × AT added game number (0) + place number (200) × AT added game number (50) + place number (300) × AT The number of added games (100) + number (24) × AT number of added games (300)} / total number of numbers (1024) = 46.1 (game).

  Next, when the winning combination is a weak cherry, {number (800) × AT added game number (0) + number (100) × AT added game number (10) + number (100) × AT The number of added games (30) + number (24) × AT number of added games (100)} / total number of numbers (1024) = 6.3 (game).

  Next, when the winning combination is a strong cherry, {number (300) × AT additional game number (0) + number (300) × AT additional game number (30) + number (400) × AT The number of additional games (50) + the number of places (24) × the number of AT additional games (300)} / the total number of places (1024) = 35.4 (games).

  Next, when the winning combination is a strong chance, {number (300) × AT added game number (30) + place number (500) × AT added game number (50) + number (224) × It can be calculated as follows: AT addition game number (200)} / total number of numbers (1024) = 77.0 (game).

  Next, when the winning combination is a push order bell (7-sheet combination), {place number (1023) × AT additional game number (0) + placement number (1) × AT additional game number (200)} / The total number of entries (1024) = 0.2 (game) can be calculated.

  In the present embodiment, the lever-time game number addition execution process is configured such that the average value of the AT additional game number may differ depending on the type of winning combination, but depending on the set value, the average of the AT additional game number The values are configured not to differ.

  Next, FIG. 28 is a flowchart of reel rotation start preparation processing according to the subroutine of step 1550 of FIG. 23 in the present embodiment. First, in step 1552, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the timer value of the game interval minimum time timer M70 (subtraction timer) is zero. Here, the game interval minimum time timer M70 is a time (4.1 seconds in this example) that should be secured from a certain game start timing (reel rotation start timing) to the next game start timing (reel rotation start timing). It is a timer that measures. In the case of Yes in step 1552, in step 1554, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M newly sets a minimum time (4.1 seconds in this example) to the timer value of the game interval minimum time timer M70 and starts. Next, in step 1556, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M clears information related to the reel stop order related to the finished game and information related to the press order. Next, in step 1558, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M clears the information related to the reel stop related to the finished game and the pull-in point creation request. Next, in step 1560, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M initializes symbol stop position data relating to the finished game. Next, in step 1562, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M sets an output request at the start of reel rotation related to the game. Next, in step 1564, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M sets a reel control command related to the game. In other words, a command for indicating that the reel starts to rotate can be transmitted to the sub-control board S by the processing of Step 1562 and Step 1564. Next, in step 1566, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M updates the reel drive state stored in the RAM area from the reel stop state to the reel rotation start standby state, and proceeds to the next process (process of step 1260). Transition.

  Next, FIG. 29 is a flowchart of the remaining game number management process according to the subroutine of step 3400 of FIG. 23 in the present embodiment. First, in step 3402, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the current game section is an “advantageous section”. Although the details will be described later, the “advantageous section” is one of the game sections, and the situation of the game that is advantageous to the player, such as when the state related to the AT is “at-AT state” It is a game section that is easy to set at. In the case of Yes in step 3402, in step 3404, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M sets the advantageous section remaining game number counter YKc-1 (which is a decrement counter and 1500 which is the maximum number of games that can stay in the “favorable section” is the initial value. 1 is subtracted from the counter value which is set as a value and can be subtracted every game during the period of “advantageous section”.

  Next, in step 3408, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the current state relating to the AT is the “AT in-progress state”. In the case of Yes in step 3408, in step 3410, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M decrements the AT counter value by 1, and proceeds to the next processing (processing in step 1700). Note that if the answer is No in step 3402 or step 3408, the process proceeds to the next process (process in step 1700).

  Next, FIG. 30 is a flowchart of RT state transition control processing according to the subroutine of step 1700 of FIG. 23 in the present embodiment. First, in step 1702, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the RT state transition enabling condition is satisfied in the game. Here, in this embodiment, the RT state transition enabling condition is configured to be satisfied by stopping a specific symbol, stopping a predetermined symbol based on a stop display of a specific re-gamer, and winning / starting / ending BB. ing. In the case of Yes in step 1702, in step 1704, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines whether or not to transition to the RT state and the RT state after the next game based on the satisfied RT transition enabling condition, and performs the next process (in step 1750). Process). Note that if the answer is No in Step 1702, the process proceeds to the next process (the process in Step 1750). In this embodiment, the RT state transition control process is executed after all reels are stopped. However, when transitioning to “RT4”, the transition timing may be shifted when the lever is turned on. The timing for transitioning to the RT state (stores the RT number in the RAM) can be determined as appropriate.

  Next, FIG. 31 is an RT state transition diagram in the present embodiment. In the present embodiment, there are six RT states “RT0” to “RT5”, and the RT state shifts when the condition indicated by the arrow in the figure is satisfied. As a specific example of the transition of the RT state, when the RT state is “RT0”, the condition device of “winning-E3 (3 sheets)” is won and the stop button D40 is “left → middle → right”. When stopping in the order of (second and third stops are optional), a specific symbol {probing order (maximum payout number (expected value) at the time of winning the three-piece combination) with a probability of 3/4 (first stop of the middle reel) If it is stopped in the pressing order other than that), it can win a prize} stops, and the process proceeds to “RT1”. On the other hand, when “Bell / Blank / B / Replay A” stops on the active line with a probability of 1/4, and the winning combination (for example, “medium” becomes the maximum payout number (expected value) when three winning combinations are won. If the stop button D40 is operated in “→ left → right”), the RT state maintains “RT0”. When the RT state is “RT1” and the “replay-B3” condition device is won, the stop button D40 is operated and the reels are stopped in the order of “middle → left → right” (for example, the reel M50 is When “sheep / replay A / watermelon A” is stopped on the active line), the symbol combination “replay 05” is stopped and displayed, and the process proceeds to “RT2”. Next, when the RT state is “RT2”, the “re-game-C5” condition device is won, and the player sets the stop button D40 to “right → left → middle” (second and third stops are optional). When stopped in order (for example, reel M50 is on the active line, “Sheep / Replay A / Replay B” is stopped), the symbol combination “Replay 06” is stopped and the RT state shifts to “RT3” To do. On the other hand, when the RT state is “RT3” or “RT2”, for example, the condition device of “re-game C-3” is won and the player operates the stop button D40 “right → left → middle” in this order ( For example, in the reel M50, “Bell / Replay A / Bell” is stopped on the active line), and the symbol combination “Replay 03” is stopped and displayed, and the RT state shifts to “RT1”. Similarly, when the RT state is “RT3” or “RT2”, the condition device of “winning-E3” which is a three-piece combination is won, and the stop button D40 is set to “left → middle → right” (second, third When stopping in the order of (optionally stopped), presses other than the pressing order (the middle reel is set as the first stop) with a specific symbol {maximum payout number (expected value) at the time of winning the three-piece combination with a probability of 3/4 If it stops in order, it can win a prize} stops, so that it shifts to “RT1”. On the other hand, when “Bell / Blank / B / Replay A” stops on the active line with a probability of 1/4, and the winning combination (for example, “medium” becomes the maximum payout number (expected value) when three winning combinations are won. When the stop button D40 is operated in “→ Left → Right”), the RT state maintains “RT2” or “RT3”. Here, the RT state is “RT0”, “RT1”, “RT2”, and “RT3”, and “1 type BB01” (BB) is selected as a “winning G (strong watermelon)” condition device. In the case of winning, if BB is not won in the BB formation game (winning when “sheep / sheep / sheep” is stopped on the active line) (if strong watermelon is won, When “watermelon B / replay A / replay A” is stopped), the RT state shifts to “RT4”. In addition, you may make it transfer to "RT4" based on BB having been established by the lottery means. If it is “RT4” and BB is won by operating the stop button D40 (“Sheep / Sheep / Sheep” is stopped on the active line), the process proceeds to “RT5”. On the other hand, if BB is won in the BB formation game (“Sheep / Sheep / Sheep” is stopped on the active line), the RT state shifts to “RT4” in one game, and from “RT4” to “RT5” Will be transferred to. In the case where BB is won in the BB formation game (“Sheep / Sheep / Sheep” is stopped on the active line), the process may be shifted directly to “RT5” without going through “RT4”. Next, after the end of the BB, the RT state shifts from “RT5” to “RT0”. Although not shown, after the RAM clear execution associated with the setting change process when the power supply is turned off and the power supply is normal, the RT number is restored to the RT number before the RAM is cleared (the address for storing the RT number is set when the RAM is cleared). (Not included in the address range to be cleared) or “RT0”. It should be noted that the power is turned off under the condition of a specific RT state (for example, “RT5”), and after executing the RAM clearing accompanying the setting change process when the power is turned off and the power is restored normally, it is set to “RT0”. Also good. Note that “RT3” is in the RT state with the highest probability of winning the re-game player. Note that re-game 03 and re-game 04 are re-players who can fall the RT state (transition to RT state disadvantageous to the player), and re-game 05 and re-game 06 are promoted to the RT state (advantageous to the player). Re-games that can be transferred to a different RT state), and re-game 01 and re-game 02 are re-games that do not trigger the transition of the RT state. Further, when the reels are stopped in the push order different from the push order navigation when the push order navigation occurs, the RT state falls if the symbol combination that becomes the replay 03 or the replay 04 is stopped and displayed (for example, , “RT3” is shifted to “RT1”), but when the symbol combination that becomes the replay 01 or the replay 02 is stopped and displayed, the RT state does not fall (for example, “RT3” is maintained) ) In the present embodiment, in a game in which any of the condition device numbers 42 to 47 is determined, the game is operated in a predetermined operation sequence (see FIG. 15) determined in advance and operated at a specific operation timing. However, in the game in which any one of the condition device numbers 42 to 47 is determined, a predetermined predetermined number is set regardless of the stop button operation timing. It may be configured such that a specific symbol combination can be stopped and displayed when operated in the operation order (see FIG. 15). Further, in a game in which any of the condition device numbers 23 to 40 is determined, one winning combination is awarded in an operation order other than the operating order in which a winning 7 winning combination is won. A symbol combination corresponding to (for example, a bell spilling role) may be defined as a specific symbol combination (which becomes an RT transition condition). Further, in a game in which any one of the condition devices 23 to 40 is determined, it may be configured that there is a case where a prize is not won (missed) depending on the stop button operation timing. Even when the reels are stopped in a pushing order different from the pushing order with the highest profit, if the small part to be paid out does not win (missed), the RT state is changed (for example, , “RT0” to “RT1” may be configured).

  Next, FIG. 32 is a flowchart of the AT state start control process according to the subroutine of step 1750 of FIG. 23 in the present embodiment. First, in step 1752, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the AT state transition enabling condition is satisfied in the game. Note that the AT state transition enabling condition is a condition that is satisfied when transitioning to the “AT precursor state”, for example (see FIG. 33). In the case of Yes in step 1752, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M in step 1760 triggered the new transition to the “AT precursor state”. The number of games for which subtraction is started after the state is changed to “AT state” is set in the AT counter M60, and the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 3500). Even in the case of No in step 1752, the processing shifts to the next processing (processing in step 3500).

  Next, FIG. 33 is an AT state transition diagram in the present embodiment. In this embodiment, “normal game state”, “AT precursor state”, “AT in preparation”, “AT in progress”, “normal BB internal game”, “normal BB state”, “AT in BB internal” There are eight AT-related states, “game” and “BB state during AT”, and the state related to AT shifts by satisfying the conditions indicated by the arrows in the figure. For example, it is configured to shift to the “AT precursor state” by winning the AT in the “normal game state”.

  In addition, as a specific example of the state transition related to AT, in the “ordinary gaming state”, “1 type BB01” (BB) is selected as a “winning G (strong watermelon)” condition device, If BB is not won in the BB formation game (winning when “sheep / sheep / sheep” is stopped on the active line) {If strong watermelon is won (for example, “watermelon B. When “Replay A / Replay A” is stopped), the state relating to AT shifts to “Normal BB inside game”. Next, when the BB is won by operating the stop button D40 (“Sheep / Sheep / Sheep” is stopped on the active line), the state shifts to the “Normal BB state”. On the other hand, when BB is won in the BB formation game (“Sheep / Sheep / Sheep” is stopped on the active line), the state related to AT changes from “Normal Game State” to “Normal BB Inside Game” in one game. ”And“ normal BB inside game ”is changed to“ normal BB state ”. In addition, when BB is won in the BB formation game, the state related to AT is changed from “normal game state” to “normal BB state” without going through “normal BB internal game”. Also good. In the “normal game state”, the lottery state of the AT lottery is configured in two stages, a low probability state and a high probability state, and executing the high probability state transition lottery and the low probability state transition lottery is described above. It is as follows. In addition, when the AT lottery is won, the state shifts to “AT precursor state”, and the state shifts to “AT preparation” by digesting a predetermined number of games in “AT precursor state”. A method for determining a predetermined number of games that triggers the transition from “AT precursory state” to “AT ready” is determined by lottery (for example, by lottery from 0 to 32 games) at the time of winning the AT transition lottery. (If the number of fixed games is fixed, the focus is only on whether to shift to “AT ready” when the fixed number of games has elapsed. By providing a plurality of patterns of the number of games, the player can maintain the interest of whether or not the AT transition lottery has been won). Also, during “AT preparation”, the RT state is staying at “RT3” (provided that the RT state is shifted to “RT3”, the player accidentally switches to “RT3” without pushing navigation). In the situation where you stayed, if you shift to “AT ready”, you will not be able to shift to “AT state”) or you have ignored the push order navigation (for example, “Winning-B3 ”Is selected, and the player presses the stop button D40 in the order of“ right → middle → left ”even though the push order navigation notifies“ middle → left → right ”), the RT state is Although not “RT3”, the state shifts to “AT state”. In the “AT state”, when the AT counter value becomes 0 (the number of remaining AT games becomes 0) or the “advantageous section” ends, the state shifts to the “normal game state”. In addition, although the AT counter value is not 0, the “advantageous section” ends, for example, when the period of the “advantageous section” continues for a predetermined game (1500 games in this example). Yes. In addition, “1 type BB01” (BB) is won in “AT precursory state”, “AT in preparation” or “AT state”, and BB is won in the BB formation game (“Sheep / If the prize is not given when the “sheep / sheep” is stopped, the state relating to the AT shifts to “in-AT BB inside game”. Next, when the BB is won by operating the stop button D40 (“Sheep / Sheep / Sheep” is stopped on the active line), the state shifts to the “AT state BB state”. Thereafter, when BB ends, the process shifts to “AT ready”. If the AT continuation or winning is confirmed after the completion of the “AT state during BB state”, the state may be shifted to the “AT precursor state”. In addition, when BB wins in the “high probability state” and a special combination {for example, special replay (strong cherry) with no setting difference in the winning rate} is won during the BB game (in the “normal BB state”) May shift to the “AT precursor state” after the end of the BB (because the “high probability state” is an “advantageous section”).

  As described above, the present embodiment is configured to shift to the “AT state” even when the push navigation is ignored in “AT in preparation”. When the reels are stopped in a stop order different from the corresponding navigation even though a push order navigation for stopping and displaying the promoted re-gamer who will shift to "RT3" occurs in "Preparing" However, since it shifts to “AT state”, it is configured so that it is not possible to continue to stay in “AT preparation” by ignoring the push order navigation (by continuing to stay in “AT preparation”) Waiting for the winning of the BB, it is prevented from being shifted to a state related to the AT, which is more advantageous than the “normal BB state”, which is the “BB state during AT” and becoming a strategy element. It should be noted that the navigation is not limited to “RT3”. For example, even though the push navigation for stopping and displaying the promoted re-gamer who will shift from “RT1” to “RT2” has occurred, When the reels are stopped in a different stop order, or when the condition device numbers 42 to 47 are won by the winning lottery means (a combination of specific symbols (conditions for shifting to “RT1”) may be stopped and displayed) When the reels are stopped in the stopping order different from the navigation even though the pressing order navigation has occurred, it is possible to ignore the pressing order navigation by shifting to the “AT in-progress state”, and to “ It is configured so that it cannot continue to stay. Furthermore, as a mode in which the player ignores the push order navigation and shifts to the “AT state”, (1) When the push order navigation of both the re-game player and the push order bell is ignored, (2) re-play When the push order navigation of a combination is ignored, (3) When either the replay combination or push order navigation of the push order bell is ignored, (4) Either of the replay combination or push order navigation is pushed Ignored, and when the RT state falls (for example, transition from “RT3” to “RT1”). Here, the pushing order bell mainly refers to the condition device numbers 42 to 47 (3 bells) having the possibility of transition of the RT state. For example, any of the condition device numbers 23 to 40 (7 bells) Even when Kana ignores the push order navigation when winning, it is not necessary to shift to the “AT state”. Of course, even if one of the condition device numbers 23 to 40 (7 bells) is won, even if the push order navigation is ignored, the state may be shifted to the “AT state”. In the present embodiment, the probability of the re-gamer in the case of “RT2” is substantially the same as that of “RT1”, but the expected game medal acquisition value in the case of “RT2” is relative. If the configuration is set so as to be high, a configuration that shifts to the “AT state” even if the push order navigation is ignored is particularly effective in preventing capture. Although not shown, the state related to the AT after the RAM clear execution based on the setting change process stays in the “normal game state”. Note that the description in the figure is merely a specific example. For example, the case where “re-game-C5” is won is illustrated as the state related to the AT only when “re-game-C5” is selected. Instead of migrating, only a specific example is described.

  Next, FIG. 34 is an example of a correspondence table between states related to ATs and gaming sections in the present embodiment. In this example, as described above, the game section has a “normal section”, a “standby section”, and an “advantageous section”, and the game section is determined by the state related to the AT and the game situation. It is configured. First, in the case where the state related to the AT is a “low probability state”, the game section becomes the “normal section” in all cases of the game situation. Next, in the case where the state related to the AT is a “high probability state”, the game section becomes the “advantageous section” in all cases of the game situation. Next, in the case where the state related to the AT is “AT precursor state”, the gaming section becomes the “advantageous section” in all cases of the gaming situation.

  In addition, when the state related to the AT is “normal BB internal game”, (1) in the situation where the game status is “low probability state” and the BB is won and the AT is not won, In the situation where the game section is “normal section” and (2) the game situation is “low probability state” and BB is won and AT is won, the game section is “standby section” ( 3) In a situation where the BB is won in the “high probability state” and the AT is not won, and in the situation where the BB is won in the “high probability state” and the AT is won, The section is configured to be an “advantageous section”. In addition, you may comprise so that the game area in the case of said (2) may be made into an "advantageous area."

  In addition, when the state related to the AT is “normal BB state”, (1) BB is won in the “low probability state” game state, and BB wins in “normal BB internal game”. In addition, in the situation where the AT was not won at the time of winning the BB, the game section becomes the “normal section”, and (2) the situation where the BB is won in the “high probability state” In the case where BB wins in the “section”, the game section is configured to be an “advantageous section”.

  Further, when the state relating to the AT is “AT ready”, the game section becomes the “advantageous section” in all cases of the game situation. Next, in the case where the state relating to the AT is the “in-AT state”, the gaming section becomes the “advantageous section” in all cases of the gaming situation. Next, when the state relating to the AT is “in-AT BB internal game”, the game section becomes the “advantageous section” in all cases of the game situation. Next, when the state relating to the AT is “in-AT BB state”, the gaming section becomes the “advantageous section” in all cases of the gaming situation.

  Next, FIG. 35 is a flowchart of the game section transition control process according to the subroutine of Step 3500 of FIG. 23 in the present embodiment. First, in the present embodiment, there is a game section as a section related to the state of the game. As the game section, a “normal section” which is relatively low profit for the player and a relatively high section for the player. There are three game sections, an “advantageous section” that is a profitable section and a “standby section” that is a section related to a transition standby state from a normal section to an advantageous section. As an explanation of the flowchart, first, in step 3508, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the game section related to the game is a “normal section”. In the case of Yes in step 3508, in step 3510, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines the game section after the next game as the game section corresponding to the current AT state and the current game situation, and proceeds to step 3528. To do. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 3508, in step 3512, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the game section related to the game is an “advantageous section”. In the case of Yes in step 3512, in step 3514, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the counter value of the advantageous section remaining game number counter YKc-1 is 0, in other words, the “advantageous section” can be continued. It is determined whether the maximum number of games has been reached. In the case of Yes in step 3514, in step 3515, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M clears all the information related to the AT (therefore, the AT counter value becomes 0, and the number of games in the “AT precursor state”) 0). On the other hand, in the case of No in step 3514, in step 3518, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines whether or not any advantageous section end condition is satisfied. Here, the arbitrary advantageous section end condition is an “advantageous section” end condition other than when the counter value of the advantageous section remaining game number counter YKc-1 becomes 0. For example, the AT counter value is 0. Or when the push order navigation is executed a predetermined number of times. If No in step 3518, that is, if any advantageous section end condition is satisfied, the routine proceeds to step 3515. As described above, in this embodiment, when the “advantageous section” ends and the transition to the “normal section” occurs after the next game, information related to AT (number of AT continuing games, number of AT remaining games, etc.) All the information relating to (3) is cleared, so that the conditions for the “advantageous section” again in the subsequent “normal section” are not relaxed. Note that information related to the AT cleared by the processing in step 3515 (processing at the end of the advantageous section) includes a counter value of the advantageous section remaining game number counter YKc-1, a flag indicating a gaming state, and the like. The information is also cleared by clearing the RAM when the setting is changed. However, depending on the clearing of the RAM when the setting is changed, the “condition device related to the continuous accessory actuating device (BB)” or the “RT state” is used. In addition, the information related to “number of stored items” is also cleared, but depending on the processing in step 3515 (processing at the end of the advantageous section), “condition device related to the continuous accessory operating device (BB)” or “RT state” , Information related to “stored number” is not cleared. As described above, the RAM clear range at the time of changing the setting is different from the clear range at the end of the “advantageous section” (for example, when the process of step 3515 is executed). In addition, you may comprise so that "condition apparatus which concerns on an accessory continuous action | operation apparatus (BB)" and "RT state" may be hold | maintained by RAM clear at the time of a setting change. The addresses in the range to be cleared at the end of the “advantageous section” are continuous. In this way, by making the addresses in the range to be cleared at the end of the “advantageous section” continuous, it is possible to clear by a simple process of designating the top address to be cleared in the clear process and the range of addresses to be cleared. When the “advantageous section” ends, a command indicating that the “advantageous section” has ended is transmitted from the main control board M to the sub-control board S. However, even if the sub-control board S side receives the command, it is configured not to erase the game history such as information indicating that the game was “advantageous section” and how many games “AT state” was executed. ing. However, when the RAM clear at the time of setting change is executed, game history such as information on the “advantageous section” on the side of the sub-control board S and information on how many games “AT state” is executed Will also be deleted.

  When the “favorable section” is ended because the counter value of the advantageous section remaining game number counter YKc-1 is 0, (1) when the current AT state is the “high probability state”. If the state related to AT is “low probability state” in the next game, (2) if the current state related to AT is “in-AT BB internal game”, the state related to AT in the next game is “Normal BB inside game” (3) When the current AT state is “AT BB state”, the AT state is “normal BB state” in the next game, (4 ) If the state related to the current AT is “AT ready”, the state related to the AT becomes “low probability state” in the next game. (5) The state related to the current AT is “AT state”. If there is, AT That state is configured to be a "low probability state" (for information related to the AT is cleared).

  Next, in step 3516, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines the game section after the next game as a “normal section”. Next, in step 3517, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M turns off the advantageous section indicator YH because the “favorable section” has ended, and proceeds to step 3528. Note that the advantageous section indicator YH is turned off when the “advantageous section” ends and shifts to the “normal section”, but the detailed timing of turning off is not limited to the timing of this embodiment. For example, the advantageous section indicator YH may be turned off when a game medal related to a game that becomes the “normal section” after the “advantage section” ends. In other words, the advantageous section indicator YH may be configured to be turned off before the start lever D50 capable of starting the next game is operated. On the other hand, in the case of Yes in step 3518, in step 3520, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines the game section after the next game as an “advantageous section”, and proceeds to step 3528.

  Further, in the case of No in step 3512, in other words, when the current game section is a “standby section”, in step 3522, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the standby section end condition is satisfied. . Here, as the standby section end condition, as shown in the lower part of the figure, when the BB wins in the “standby section”, it is determined that the advantageous section end condition is satisfied. That is, in the present embodiment, when the BB combination is established in the “normal section” and the AT is won by the AT lottery related to the BB combination, the process shifts to the “standby section” and the BB combination wins. Thus, the “standby section” is ended, and the “advantage section” is shifted to.

  Returning to the description of the flowchart, in the case of Yes in step 3522, in step 3524, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines the game section after the next game as an “advantageous section”, and proceeds to step 3528. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 3522, in step 3526, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines the game section after the next game as the “standby section”, and proceeds to step 3528. In this way, by providing a “standby section”, when the BB is won in the “low probability state” and the AT lottery is not won, the BB is won in the “low probability state”, and the AT In the period when the lottery is won and until the BB symbol combination is complete (until the advantageous section indicator lights up), the advantageous section indicator YH is turned off. Whether the player is present or not can be told to the player.

  Next, in step 3528, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M has decided to newly shift to the “favorable section” in the next game (determined to shift from the “normal section” to the “advantage section”. Alternatively, it is determined whether or not it is decided to shift from the “standby section” to the “advantage section”. In the case of Yes in step 3528, in step 3530, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M sets a predetermined value in the advantageous section remaining game number counter YKc-1. The predetermined value to be set in the advantageous section remaining game number counter YKc-1 is a fixed numerical value (1500 in this example) that is common to all setting values. Next, in step 3524, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M turns on the advantageous section indicator YH, and proceeds to the next process (the process of step 1293). In addition, also in the case of No in step 3528, the processing shifts to the next processing (processing in step 1293). In this embodiment, the lighting process of the advantageous section indicator YH is executed at the timing of step 3534. However, the lighting timing of the advantageous section indicator YH is not limited to this, and the advantageous section indicator YH is turned on. The timing will be described later with reference to FIG.

  Next, FIG. 36 is a game section transition diagram in the present embodiment. In the drawing, a part of the case where the game section shifts from the “normal section” to the “favorable section” is illustrated. First, when the game section is a “normal section”, the state related to the AT is a “low probability state”. When a weak watermelon is won in the “normal section”, a high-probability state transition lottery is executed. When the high-probability state transition lottery is won, the state related to the AT becomes a “high probability state” and the game section Becomes an “advantageous section”. In addition, if you win a strong watermelon, a strong chance or a BB role in the “normal section”, an AT lottery will be executed, and if you win the AT lottery, the status related to AT will be “AT precursor state” The game section is an “advantageous section”. As described above, in the present embodiment, when shifting from the “normal section” to the “advantageous section”, the state related to which AT among the “advantageous sections” for each condition device that has triggered the transition to the “advantageous section”. It is uniquely determined whether to move to. In addition, when the game section is an “advantageous section” and the state related to the AT is “high probability state”, if a weak watermelon, a strong watermelon, a strong chance or a BB role is won, an AT lottery is executed. If the AT lottery is won, the state related to the AT is “AT precursor state”, and the game section is “advantageous section”. Thus, in the present embodiment, the condition device that can execute the AT lottery in the “low probability state” is different from the condition device that can execute the AT lottery in the “high probability state”. When the state related to the AT becomes the “AT precursor state”, the process proceeds from “AT in preparation” to “AT state” (see FIG. 33).

  Next, FIG. 37 is a flowchart of timer interrupt processing according to the subroutine of step 1600 in the present embodiment. The processing of the subroutine is started when a timer interrupt is started in the processing of Step 1040 or Step 1104, and thereafter, a predetermined time (in this example, T is set, but for example, a time of about 2 ms is set. To be periodically executed.

  First, in step 1602, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M executes processing at the start of interruption (for example, saving of data held in a register in the CPUC100, input port check of a power-off detection signal, etc.). Next, in step 1604, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the power-off is currently detected (in the current interrupt process). In the case of No in step 1604, in step 1900, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M executes a power-off process described later. On the other hand, in the case of Yes in step 1604, in step 1606, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M starts timer measurement (update processing of various timers managed by software). Next, in step 1608, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M generates input port data and stores the data (updates the storage area of each input port data in the RAM area). Here, the input port data includes the settlement button D60, the start lever D50, the stop button D40, the door switch D80, the setting key switch M20, the setting / reset button M30, the power-off detection signal, the input acceptance sensor D10s, and the first input sensor. D20s, the second input sensor D30s, the first payout sensor H10s, the second payout sensor H20s, etc. (that is, the presence / absence of the operation of these operation members and the sensor detection state are sampled at the interrupt interval T). )

  Next, in step 1610, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M refers to the input port data in the RAM area and turns on / off the door switch flag and the setting key switch flag according to the sampling result of each input port data. (For example, when the switch state of the door switch D80 is continuously ON over a plurality of samplings, the front door DU is opened without being affected by noise by turning on the door switch flag. Can also be detected). Next, in step 1611, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M executes the spinning drive control process (process related to the drive control of the reel M50) for all the reels (the left reel M51, the middle reel M52, and the right reel M53). . Next, in step 1612, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M refers to the AT counter M60 and determines whether or not the counter value is greater than zero. If YES in step 1612, in step 1613, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M displays the AT remaining game number (AT game number) on the AT counter value display device D 280, and proceeds to step 1614. Note that if the answer is No in Step 1612, the process proceeds to Step 1614. Next, in step 1614, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M outputs the output data to the output port. Here, the output data is data for driving the reel M50, the blocker D100, and the like. Next, in step 1616, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M turns off all error flags (not shown, inserted medal backflow error flag, inserted number error flag, inserted medal retention error flag, inserted abnormality error flag, It is determined whether all flags relating to errors such as a payout abnormality error flag, a payout medal retention error flag, a door switch flag, and the like are off. In the case of Yes in step 1616, in step 1618, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M sets an error non-detection command (a command to the sub side and a command indicating that no error is detected) (for example, register Set in the area), and the process proceeds to Step 1622. On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1616, in step 1620, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M sets an error detection command (a command to the sub side and a command that an error is detected) (for example, Set in the register area), and the process proceeds to Step 1622. In step 1620, information related to an error (currently occurring error) corresponding to the error flag that is turned on is transmitted to the sub-side. The error not detected command may be set only when the error is released from the state where the error has occurred (only when it is determined that the flag is turned off). The information setting process need not be executed (S1618 may not be provided). Further, the error detection command may execute the set process only when an error occurs from a state where no error has occurred, or from the state where a first error (for example, a inserted medal retention error) has occurred. The set process may be executed when the type of error has changed, such as a second error (for example, a payout medal retention error).

  Next, in step 1622, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M transmits a control command (sub-side command) (for example, if it is set in the register area in step 1618 or step 1620, it is set). Control command). Next, in step 1624, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M outputs an external terminal signal (a signal for transmitting information from the revolving game machine P to an external hall computer or the like). Although not shown, information relating to an error output by the external signal includes a door opening error, a closing abnormality error, a dispensing abnormality error, a closing reception sensor retention error, and the like. The door opening error is configured to be an error when the front door DU is opened and the door switch flag is turned on. Is configured to cause an error. Next, in step 1626, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M turns on the output data of the LEDs (7-segment LED lamp, etc.) (for example, a predetermined 7-segment LED unit among a plurality of 7-segment LED units). Output a predetermined segment of the segment) (so-called dynamic lighting). Next, in step 1628, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M executes the LED lighting mode (for example, changing the LED lighting color). Note that step 1628 may not be executed. Next, in step 1630, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M executes a soft random number management process (such as a process for updating a random value managed by software). Next, in step 1632, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M obtains internal information register data (the internal information register has a region where an abnormality flag bit is set when an abnormality occurs in the random number generation circuit). . Next, in step 1634, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the frequency of the random number update clock is normal (whether or not an abnormal flag bit indicating the frequency abnormality is set). More specifically, the abnormality flag bit is set when the frequency of the random number update clock falls below a predetermined value. In the case of Yes in step 1634, in step 1636, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the update state of the built-in random number is normal (whether or not an abnormal flag bit indicating the update state abnormality is set). Determine. In the case of Yes in step 1636, in step 1638, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M executes an interrupt end process and proceeds to the next process (process of step 1602). On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1634 or step 1636, in step 1640, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M sets a built-in random number error display (for example, sets an error number in the register area). Next, in step 1300, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M executes the above-described non-recoverable error processing.

  Next, FIG. 38 is a flowchart of the power-off process according to the subroutine of step 1900 in FIG. First, in step 1902, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M stores the stack pointer. Next, in step 1904, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M turns on the power-off process completed flag (for example, updates the power-off process completed flag area in the RAM area with a value corresponding to ON). Next, in step 1906, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M calculates a checksum from the start address of the RAM area to the address immediately before the checksum area, and information for error detection based on the calculated checksum (for example, the calculation) In the checksum area, the lower 1 byte in the checksum or the complement thereof) is set. Next, in step 1912, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M prohibits writing to the RAM, and proceeds to step 1914. Next, in step 1914, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M executes an infinite loop process for waiting for reset.

  Next, a control process executed on the sub control board S side will be described with reference to FIGS. First, FIG. 39 is a main flowchart on the side of the sub-control board S in the rotating game machine P according to this embodiment. Here, the upper side of the figure is an initial process on the side of the sub control board S that is executed only when the power to the gaming machine is turned on, and the lower side of the figure is a sub control board that is repeatedly executed after the power to the gaming machine is turned on. This is the main process on the S side. First, as explained from the flowchart on the upper side of the figure, in step 6999, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S performs a program start process (for example, a set of vector addresses (upper), calculation of checksums of all RWMs, RWM area After execution of (partial initialization, etc.), the process proceeds to the sub-side routine on the lower side of FIG. Note that after executing the program start process of step 6999 and before executing the process of step 7000, an initial setting process based on the reception of the setting change start command may be executed. Specifically, after a part of the RWM (RAM) area is initialized, the sub-side setting mode in which the hole side can be set is activated. In other words, when the main control board M is in the setting change mode, the sub control board S is configured to shift to a mode in which setting by the sub control board S is possible by operating the sub input button SB or the like. This sub-side setting mode will be described later. It should be noted that the main control board M may be settable even during the setting confirmation mode, or may be configured so that setting is not possible during the setting confirmation mode. Information that is not initialized when a part of the RWM area is initialized is set by (1) time information, (2) position information, (3) position history information, and (4) sub-side setting mode. Information, (5) error history information, and the like.

  Here, the sub-side setting mode described above is a mode in which, for example, the following setting can be performed by the sub-control board S by the sub-input button SB (including a cross key or the like). (A) Connection between gaming machines when performing a simultaneous performance (including setting of main gaming machine and secondary gaming machine), (B) setting of time information such as date and time, (C) hall Connection setting with Wi-Fi router installed every time (SSID may be entered directly or AOSS etc. may be used), (D) Setting function that can disable wireless communication function itself (E) In the mode in which the power used by the sub-control board S side can be reduced and when it is determined that the game is not executed for a predetermined time (for example, the standby demonstration screen mode), the power is reduced. On / off setting of an eco mode (power saving mode) that is notified by an image or the like. Depending on the above (C), the hall computer, the portable terminal KP owned by the hall clerk, etc. are connected by the same Wi-Fi, and various settings can be made for the revolving game machine P. Various settings in this case include, for example, (C-1) a setting as to whether or not to detect a command communication error (error on the sub-control board S side), (C-2) a setting of date / time, time information, etc. Is mentioned. In addition, as a specific example of the setting function in (D), for example, a hall where Wi-Fi or Bluetooth is used for simultaneous production, or the linkage between the portable terminal KP and the revolving game machine P is “ For example, there is a specification that allows selection of “wireless connection function ON” and “wireless connection function OFF” for a hole that is not desired to be performed.

  Next, the sub-side routine on the lower side of FIG. First, in step 7100, the CPUSC of the sub control board S executes an effect operation content determination process described later. Next, in step 7500, the CPUSC of the sub control board S executes an effect operation control process to be described later. Next, in step 7600, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S executes an external output control process to be described later. Next, in step 7700, the CPUSC of the sub control board S executes a GPS related control process to be described later, and repeats the process of returning to the top of this process flow. Hereinafter, each subroutine will be described in detail.

  Next, FIG. 40 is a flowchart of effect operation content determination processing according to the subroutine of Step 7100 of FIG. 39 in the present embodiment. First, in step 7102, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the operation timing of the start lever D50 has been reached (for example, by receiving a command transmitted from the main control board M side). . In the case of Yes in Step 7102, in Step 7104, the CPUSC of the sub control board S acquires information on the game (information on the winning combination and game state) transmitted from the main control board M side. Next, in step 7106, based on the acquired information about the game, an effect pattern (effect mode executed by the effect display device S40) related to the current game is set. Next, in step 7108, based on the acquired information on the game, an effect pattern related to other effects (game effect lamps, etc.) is set. Next, in step 7110, the CPUSC of the sub control board S turns on the effect operation permission flag (a flag that is enabled when the effect operation control process in step 7500 is on), and performs the next process (step 7500). The process proceeds to (1).

  Next, FIG. 41 is a flowchart of the rendering operation control process according to the subroutine of Step 7500 of FIG. 39 in the present embodiment. First, in step 7502, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the effect operation permission flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 7502, in step 7504, the CPUSC of the sub control board S turns off the effect operation permission flag. Next, in step 7506, the CPUSC of the sub control board S turns on the effect operation executing flag (a flag that is turned on when the effect operation control process is being executed), and proceeds to step 7508. On the other hand, also in the case of No in step 7502, the process proceeds to step 7508.

  Next, in step 7508, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the effect operation executing flag is on. In the case of Yes in step 7508, in step 7510, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the effect execution timing related to the current game has been reached. In the case of Yes in step 7510, in step 7512, the CPUSC of the sub control board S displays the effect pattern set in step 7106 of FIG. 43 on the effect display device S40, and proceeds to step 7514. Note that if step 7510 is No, the process proceeds to step 7514. Next, in step 7514, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the effect execution timing of other effects (game effect lamp D26, etc.) has been reached. In the case of Yes in step 7514, in step 7516, the CPUSC of the sub control board S executes the effect pattern set in step 7108 of FIG. 40, and proceeds to step 7526. Note that if the result is No in step 7514, the process proceeds to step 7526. Next, in step 7526, the CPUSC of the sub control board S performs an effect operation in the game (the effect operation set by the subroutine of step 7100, and an effect pattern related to the effect operation when the start lever D50 is operated, and It is determined whether or not an effect that can determine an effect execution timing has ended. In the case of Yes in step 7526, in step 7528, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S turns off the effect operation execution flag, and proceeds to the next process (process in step 7600). On the other hand, also in the case of No in step 7508 or step 7526, the process proceeds to the next process (process in step 7600). As described above, in this example, with respect to the effects on the effect display device S40 and the effects such as the game effect lamp D26, the effect pattern is determined when the start lever D50 is operated. This is not a limitation. It may be executed by receiving an execution command (for example, push order navigation) on the effect display device S40 and an execution command related to the effect execution timing of the game effect lamp D26.

  Next, FIG. 42 is a flowchart of an external output control process according to the subroutine of Step 7600 of FIG. 39 in the present embodiment. First, in step 7602, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the wireless connection screen display condition is satisfied. Here, the wireless connection screen display condition is, for example, a condition that is satisfied by operating the sub input button SB in a situation where a game (game) is not progressing. In the case of Yes in Step 7602, in Step 7604, the CPUSC of the sub control board S displays the wireless connection screen on the effect display device S40. The wireless connection screen is a screen for executing Wi-Fi communication, Bluetooth communication, and NFC communication, which will be described later. If the player wants to execute wireless communication by any communication method, the wireless connection screen is used. By displaying the screen, the wireless connection is executed after preparing for the connection. Next, in step 7606, the CPUSC of the sub control board S turns on a display flag (a flag that is on during a period in which the wireless connection screen is displayed), and proceeds to step 7608. Note that the process moves to step 7608 also in the case of No in step 7602.

  In this example, when wireless connection between the portable terminal KP and the revolving game machine P is performed, after the wireless connection screen is displayed on the portable terminal KP and the player makes a wireless transmission from the portable terminal KP, In fact, the spinning machine P is configured to perform wireless connection by specifying a communication standard, but is not limited to this. When performing a wireless connection, for example, “the player operates the sub input button SB → the wireless terminal communication standard selection screen is displayed on the portable terminal KP → the player selects the communication standard → the portable terminal KP The procedure for pairing is displayed. (For example, “After pressing the pairing start button, press the communication start button displayed on the dedicated app of your smartphone. Pairing starts automatically. It may be configured to be performed according to the procedure of “.

  Next, in step 7608, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the Wi-Fi execution condition is satisfied. The Wi-Fi execution condition is that pairing (authentication work) for enabling Wi-Fi communication is completed (for example, a Wi-Fi connection request sent by a player using a portable terminal is a swivel game machine) P is received). Wi-Fi generally refers to a group of IEEE 802.11 standards for wireless modulation technology using the same basic protocol, and is used to create a wireless local area network for computer communication. Wi-Fi usually allows wireless connection by devices to the Internet or connection between devices. Moreover, it has the characteristic that it can connect simultaneously between several devices. In the case of Yes in step 7608, in step 7610, the CPUSC of the sub control board S enables Wi-Fi communication with a Wi-Fi communication target terminal (for example, the player's portable terminal KP), and the process proceeds to step 7620. .

  If NO in step 7608, in step 7612, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the Bluetooth execution condition is satisfied. The Bluetooth execution condition means that pairing (authentication work) for enabling Bluetooth communication is completed (for example, the revolving game machine P receives a Bluetooth connection request sent by a player on a portable terminal). Will be satisfied. Bluetooth (registered trademark) is an open wireless protocol for exchanging data at a short distance from fixed and portable devices, and creates a personal area network (PAN). Originally devised as a wireless alternative to the RS-232 data cable. In the case of Yes in step 7612, in step 7614, the CPUSC of the sub control board S enables Bluetooth communication with the target terminal (for example, the player's mobile terminal KP) for Bluetooth communication, and the process proceeds to step 7620.

  In the case of No in step 7612, in step 7616, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the NFC execution condition is satisfied. The NFC execution condition is that pairing (authentication work) for enabling NFC communication is completed (for example, the revolving game machine P receives an NFC connection request sent by a player using a portable terminal). Will be satisfied. NFC (Near Field Communication) is a method of short-range wireless communication, and is sometimes called proximity wireless communication or non-contact communication. In the NFC proximity wireless communication, wireless communication can be established between a device having an NFC circuit or a reader / writer. What is unique is that pairing (authentication work) between devices is completed simply by holding the devices together, and only the pairing (authentication work) is performed by NFC communication. A technique called “handover” that takes over to Wi-Fi or Bluetooth communication with a long possible distance is widely used. In the case of Yes in step 7616, in step 7618, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S enables NFC communication with the target terminal (for example, the player's portable terminal KP) of NFC communication, and proceeds to step 7620. In NFC, pairing (authentication work) is completed simply by holding up, so there is no need to display a wireless connection screen. While a game (game) is in progress, an NFC communication target terminal (for example, a game) NFC communication with the user's portable terminal KP) can also be made possible.

  Next, in step 7620, the CPUSC of the sub control board S turns off the display flag, and proceeds to the next processing (processing in step 7700). Even in the case of No in step 7616, the processing shifts to the next processing (processing in step 7700).

  Next, FIG. 43 is a flowchart of the GPS related control processing according to the subroutine of Step 7700 of FIG. 39 in the present embodiment. First, in step 7702, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the GPS receiver is connected to the gaming machine (particularly, the sub control board S). In the case of Yes in step 7702, in step 7704, the CPUSC of the sub control board S displays that the GPS display error has occurred in the effect display device S40 (for example, “ERROR !! GPS is not available”). ) Is executed, and the flow shifts to Step 7706. Note that the process moves to step 7706 also in the case of No in step 7702. Next, in step 7706, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the GPS receiver has received the position information normally. In the case of Yes in step 7706, the CPUSC of the sub control board S outputs a GPS signal in step 7708 (for example, outputs it to a server owned by the gaming machine manufacturer through Wi-Fi communication), and the next processing (step 7000 processing). On the other hand, in the case of No in step 7706, in step 7710, the CPUSC of the sub control board S displays an indication that the position information is unknown on the effect display device S40 (for example, “cannot obtain position information”). A predetermined time (for example, 5 seconds) is displayed, and the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 7000). As described above, when the GPS receiver is not connected, a display indicating that an error relating to GPS is displayed on the effect display device S40 by the process of step 7704, and the GPS receiver correctly displays the position information. If the position information displayed on the effect display device S40 is unknown by the processing of step 7710 when it cannot be received, the display mode is different and the display according to step 7704 eliminates the error. The display according to step 7710 is configured to be erased after a predetermined time (for example, 5 seconds), while the display is continued until the GPS receiver is connected to the gaming machine. The GPS signal may be output only when requested. Further, the GPS receiver can receive position information even when power is not supplied to the gaming machine by the built-in power source. More specifically, among the GPS-related control processes described above, the control process for “obtaining the current position” and / or “notifying the current position” is performed even if the power is not turned on (sub-control board S). Can be made executable). Furthermore, by storing information on the current position in an area that does not disappear by clearing the RWM (RAM) such as setting changes, the position information from the time of factory shipment until it is installed in the game hall is stored, and the gaming machine is collected. At times, the manufacturer can extract the position information (trajectory) and use it as a reference as to whether or not illegal ROM replacement has been performed.

  With the configuration as described above, according to the spinning-reel game machine according to the present embodiment, a game section is newly provided as a state relating to the game, and the game section includes “normal section”, “standby section”, “advantage” By providing three game sections with “sections”, it is possible to more clearly identify the situation of the game that is relatively advantageous to the player. Therefore, a fairer gaming machine can be created by lighting and informing the advantage section indicator. Further, if the “advantageous section” continues until the predetermined upper limit number of games (in this example, 1500 games) is reached, the “normal section” is forcibly set, and the state regarding the remaining AT is also forcibly set. Because it is terminated (information for maintaining the AT state is cleared and initialized), the “gaming state” such as the AT state and the ART state with a relatively high degree of design freedom significantly increases gambling This can be automatically suppressed.

  As a result, when the upper limit number of games for the “advantageous section” is set appropriately and the upper limit number of games for the “advantageous section” is reached, all the factors (data) that affect the performance are initialized. If it is configured to be the most unfavorable gaming state for the player, it will automatically increase the gambling ability even if the design of the performance of the ball in the “advantageous section” is free. Can be suppressed. In other words, even if new game play specifications that were not adopted in the conventional swing-type game machines are included, the same effect can be obtained as long as the performance limit restrictions for this "advantageous section" are observed. It can be said that it can be obtained. In addition, about the new game specification based on such an idea, it shall exemplify sequentially in the subsequent Examples.

  Further, based on such a purpose (not shown in the present embodiment), the ratio of “advantageous sections” to three game sections of “normal section”, “standby section”, and “advantageous section” {“ The number of games in the “favorable section” / (number of games in the “normal section” + number of games in the “standby section” + number of games in the “favorable section”) × 100} is calculated and calculated on the main control board M It is recommended to configure it so that it can be displayed and output. That is, since the occupancy rate of this “advantageous section” has a great influence on the performance of the ball, it should be displayed as an index indicating the legitimacy of the ball performance, for example, in the vicinity of the main control board M, If a display device (for example, a 2-digit 7-segment LED) is provided on the substrate and the above ratio is displayed by a 2-digit 7-segment LED, the occupation ratio of the “advantageous section” does not exceed the threshold (for example, (Less than 70%), it is preferable because it is easy to show that the information is being reported to the outside without lying.

(Modification 1 from this embodiment)
In addition, in the present embodiment, the state relating to AT is controlled on the main control board M side, and the sub-control board S side does not perform control that affects the ball output performance, and the main control board S side performs the main control. Since no data transmission is performed to the board M side, there is no risk of affecting the ball-out performance even if the sub-control board S is configured to be communicable with a device outside the spinning machine. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the configuration in which the spinning machine can perform wireless communication according to communication standards such as Wi-Fi communication, Bluetooth communication, NFC communication, etc. is illustrated, but the data held by the sub-control board S side is stored. When an aspect to be utilized is assumed, an aspect different from the present embodiment can be recalled. Therefore, an example of such a configuration is a first modification from the present embodiment, and only the changes from the present embodiment will be described in detail below.

  First, FIG. 44 is an overall electrical configuration diagram in Modification 1 from the present embodiment. The change from this embodiment is that the sub-control board S has a real-time clock RTC that keeps counting the current time with a built-in power supply. Here, the real time clock RTC is a mechanism for measuring time provided on the substrate of the sub main control unit SM. The real-time clock RTC has a built-in power supply (battery) that is independent of the board, and keeps timing while power is not being supplied to the gaming machine. Based on the current date and time. By grasping information related to the current date and time by the real-time clock RTC, a simultaneous effect described later can be executed. The information related to the current date and time may be configured to be settable on the store side by the sub-side setting mode, or a digital signal from an atomic clock transmitted from a standard radio station can be received. You may be comprised so that time can be set automatically.

  Next, FIG. 45 is a flowchart of an external output control process according to the subroutine of Step 7600 (Modification 1) in FIG. 39 in Modification 1 from this embodiment. First, in step 7624, the CPUSC of the sub control board S acquires current time information from the real time clock RTC. Next, in step 7626, the CPUSC of the sub control board S determines whether or not the current time is the simultaneous performance execution timing. Here, specific examples of the simultaneous performance execution timing are, for example, 12 o'clock, 15 o'clock, 18 o'clock, and 21 o'clock. With this configuration, simultaneous production is executed at regular intervals (every 3 hours). If the execution time of the simultaneous performance is approaching, it is easy for the player to continue the game until the execution time of the simultaneous performance, and the operating rate of the gaming machine in the game hall can be improved. be able to. In addition, in order to follow a player who has temporarily left the gaming machine due to a toilet break or the like during a simultaneous performance, the effect may be output to a preset mobile terminal KP. it can.

  In the case of Yes in step 7626, in step 7627, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S determines the effect mode of the simultaneous effect and the game machine subject to the simultaneous effect execution based on the current time information (the effect mode and the simultaneous effect of the simultaneous effect). The game machine to be executed may be determined in advance). Next, in step 7628, the CPUSC of the sub-control board S transmits information related to the effect value of the simultaneous effect to the determined simultaneous effect execution target game machine by Wi-Fi communication (game of the effect of the simultaneous effect execution target). The machine will execute the simultaneous performance by receiving the information related to the effect mode of the simultaneous performance). Next, in step 7630, the CPUSC of the sub control board S executes the simultaneous effect based on the effect mode of the simultaneous effect, and proceeds to the next process (the process of step 7700). Note that the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 7700) also in the case of No in step 7626. As described above, the first modification from the present embodiment is configured such that the same effect mode effect can be executed by a plurality of gaming machines at the time determined as the simultaneous effect. In addition, after a certain gaming machine obtains information related to the current time to understand the production mode and production execution timing of the mass production, it performs the mass production using Wi-Fi communication to other gaming machines that execute the mass production. By transmitting a signal to do so, it is possible to execute a simultaneous performance in other gaming machines. In addition, each of a plurality of gaming machines that execute the simultaneous performance can be configured to execute the simultaneous performance by acquiring the current time information, but if configured in this way, the current acquisition acquired for each gaming machine Since the information related to the time is likely to be slightly shifted, the execution timing of the simultaneous performance is also slightly shifted. On the other hand, as in this example, one gaming machine obtains information related to the current time, and other gaming machines also execute simultaneous effects based on signals transmitted from the one gaming machine By doing so, simultaneous production can be executed at the same timing.

  With the configuration as described above, according to the spinning machine according to the first modification from the present embodiment, the information related to the current time is acquired by the real-time clock RTC, thereby grasping the execution timing of the simultaneous performance. However, by transmitting the execution timing of the simultaneous production to other gaming machines via Wi-Fi communication, it is possible to execute a simultaneous presentation with less deviation than before with a plurality of gaming machines. A fascinating performance can be executed. In this example, the execution timing of the simultaneous performance is configured to be transmitted by other gaming machine Wi-Fi communication, but the communication standard is not limited to this, and a suitable one from the various standards described above is used. There is no problem to select and implement. In addition, as an aspect of aligning the execution timing of the simultaneous production, for example, when the production mode of the simultaneous production for each time is determined in advance, each gaming machine is based on transmitting the current time information and receiving the information. May be configured to perform simultaneous production. In addition, the hall clerk can set each of the plurality of gaming machines to be the primary gaming machine or the secondary gaming machine for simultaneous production, and only the primary gaming machine may transmit information. All the gaming machines, regardless of the master and slave, transmit information, but the information from the slave gaming machines can be discarded.

(Modification 2 from this embodiment)
In the present embodiment, it is configured to have “AT precursor state” as a state relating to AT, but if an effect dedicated to “AT precursor state” is provided, it is easy for the player to win the AT. And the interest of the game may be impaired. Specifically, if you win a strong watermelon in the “low probability state” and win the AT lottery with the strong watermelon as a trigger, you will move to the “AT precursor state”, but you did not win the AT lottery In this case, the “low probability state” remains. Since the “AT precursor state” is an “advantageous section”, the advantageous area indicator YH is lit, and it is easy to know that the AT has been won by whether or not the advantageous area indicator YH is lit. I can do it. Therefore, an example of a configuration that can solve such a problem is a second modification from the present embodiment, and only the changes from the present embodiment will be described in detail below.

  First, FIG. 46 is an AT state transition diagram in Modification 2 from the present embodiment. A change from the present embodiment is that a “gase sign state” in which the state related to AT is “normal gaming state” and the gaming section is “advantageous section” is provided. The “gase sign state” is a state related to AT that shifts when a strong watermelon, which is a condition device capable of executing AT lottery in “low probability state”, is won, and the game section is “advantageous section” In addition, if you win a strong watermelon or a strong chance in the “low probability state” and win the AT lottery with the strong watermelon as an opportunity, it will shift to the “AT precursor state”. It is definite that the player has not won the AT at the timing of transition to "". It should be noted that the “gaze precursor state” can be shifted to a “low probability state”, “AT precursor state”, and “high probability state”. Specifically, the push-order navigation is executed once, and the state shifts to the “low probability state” after the number of precursor games (the predetermined number of games related to the gaze precursor, for example, 32 games) has elapsed. Has been. In addition, when the high probability transition lottery is won in the “gasse sign state”, the state transitions to the “high probability state”. In this case, the effect in the effect display device S40 may be continued in the “gaseous sign state” effect mode, or the effect mode based on the “high probability state” at the timing of transition to the “high probability state”. It may be configured. Further, it is preferable that the “AT precursor state” and the “Gasse precursor state” have the same effect mode, and the player can set the status related to the current AT to “AT precursor”. It will be difficult to judge whether it is a “state” or “gasse precursor state”, and it will have an expectation that it will be elected as an AT in both the “AT precursor state” and the “gase precursor state”. , You can increase the period of expectation that you have won the AT. Moreover, since the “gase precursor state” is an “advantageous section”, the advantageous section indicator YH is lit. However, since the “AT precursor state” is also an “advantageous section”, the advantageous section indicator YH is lit. Depending on whether or not the advantageous section indicator YH is lit, it is prevented that it is determined whether the current state related to the AT is the “Gas precursor state” or the “AT precursor state”. In this example, the “gase sign state” is configured to be terminated by one execution of the push order navigation. However, the present invention is not limited to this. What is necessary is just to comprise so that "state" may be complete | finished, for example, you may comprise so that "gaseous precursor state" may be complete | finished by pushing order navigation being performed 3 times. In addition, when the execution of one push order navigation is included in the end condition of the “gaseous sign state”, (1) the first push order with the “gasey sign state” (push order bell, etc.) ) Is executed in the order of push, and the “game witness state” is terminated when the number of precursor games elapses. (2) After the number of precursor games has elapsed since becoming “gase omen state” Further, it may be configured to execute the push order navigation to end the “gaseous sign state”. Also, as an exception, if the bonus game is executed based on the fact that the bonus (1 type BB in this example) is won during the “gase precursor state” and the symbol combination corresponding to the bonus is stopped and displayed, There is no need to perform forward navigation once.

  With the configuration as described above, according to the rotating type gaming machine according to the modified example 2 from the present embodiment, by providing the “gasse sign state” as the state relating to the AT, the winning rate of the AT lottery is relatively When a strong watermelon, which is a very high condition device, is elected, regardless of whether the AT lottery is won or not, the game section is shifted to the “advantageous section” and whether or not the AT is won is indicated to the player. I can talk. In addition, even if you do not win the AT lottery with a strong watermelon, by moving to the “advantageous section”, the player can have a sense of expectation that you have won the AT, and more fun of the game Will be improved.

  In this example, even when the state related to AT is “normal gaming state”, “high probability state” is provided as “advantageous section”, and AT is higher than “low probability state” in “high probability state”. Although it is configured so that it is easier to win the lottery, the state of the game that is “normal game state” and “advantageous section” can be exemplified as other examples (“normal game state” and “advantageous area”) The state of the game is called a chance zone). As the chance zone, in addition to the “high probability state”, for example, every game that is not failed in the pressing order of the predetermined number of games in the pressing order of small games (continues to stop in the pressing order with the highest profit) is executed. “AT sign” by winning a lottery (a lottery that does not refer to the condition device relating to the game), achieving a push order correct answer (7 sheets winning prize) a predetermined number of times by the time the predetermined number of games elapses, etc. A game state that shifts to “state” may be configured as a chance zone.

(Second Embodiment)
In this embodiment, three game sections of “normal section”, “standby section”, and “advantage section” are provided as the game sections, and the game situation is easily separated. In this way, the game sections are provided. Various game play possibilities can be created. Therefore, an example of a configuration having such a game property is referred to as a second embodiment, and only differences from the present embodiment will be described in detail below.

  First, FIG. 47 is a flowchart of the game progress control process (third sheet) in the second embodiment. The difference from this embodiment is step 1294 (second) and step 3100 (second), the purpose of which is to clarify the lottery process (lottery process during execution of BB) after winning the BB role. It is to be described. That is, in step 1294 (second), the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the BB is currently being executed. In the case of Yes in step 1294 (second), the process proceeds to step 1257 and the internal lottery is executed (that is, the lottery process is executed while BB is not being executed). On the other hand, in the case of No in step 1294 (second), in step 3100 (second), the CPUC 100 of the main control board M executes a lottery execution process in BB, which will be described later, and proceeds to step 1400.

  Next, FIG. 48 is a flowchart of BB lottery execution processing in the second embodiment. First, in step 3102, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the game is a BB start game (first game in the BB). In the case of Yes in step 3102, in step 3104, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines the RB to be executed as RB 1, executes a role lottery based on RB (a role lottery based on RB 1), and performs the next process (step 1400). The process proceeds to (1). Here, as shown in the upper right part of the figure, in the second embodiment, as RBs that can be executed during BB, there are two types of RBs, RB1 and RB2, and the maximum number of payouts is different. Yes. Specifically, RB1 has a prescribed number (the maximum number of bets in the game) of 3 and there is a maximum of 3 payouts by winning a winning combination in RB1, and the end condition is 8 wins or 12 The game is run once. RB2 has a prescribed number of three, and there are a maximum of seven payouts for winning a winning combination in RB2, and the end condition is eight wins or 12 game runs. Also, as shown in the lower part of the figure, when a lottery is performed in RB1, only winning-J is won, and in winning-J, the maximum payout number is three. Only the role will be awarded. On the other hand, in the RB2, when the winning lottery is executed, only the winning-I is configured to win, and in the winning-I, only the winning combination having the maximum payout number of 7 wins. . Note that the configuration in the figure is merely an example, and there is no problem even if the maximum payout number in RB1 and the maximum payout number in RB2 are changed as appropriate.

  On the other hand, if No in step 3102, in step 3106, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines whether or not RB (RB 1 or RB 2) has ended in the previous game. In the case of Yes in step 3106, in step 3108, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M determines whether or not the previous RB was RB1. In the case of Yes in step 3108, in step 3110, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M refers to the RB determination table 1, determines an RB to be executed from the game by lottery, and proceeds to step 3116. In the case of No in step 3108, in step 3112, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M refers to the RB determination table 2, determines the RB to be executed from the game by lottery, and proceeds to step 3116. Here, the upper right part of the figure is an example of the RB determination table 1 and the RB determination table 2. In the second embodiment, the BB is configured to be able to be executed multiple times during execution of the BB until the execution end condition of the BB is satisfied (for example, when more than 450 sheets are paid out). The RB is continuously executed until the execution end condition of the BB is satisfied. The RB to be executed at the start of the BB and in the next game after the RB is finished is determined by lottery from the RB1 and the RB2. Further, when determining an RB to be executed at a time other than the start time of the BB, the RB determination table to be referred to is different depending on the type of the RB executed last time. Specifically, when the RB executed last time is RB1, the RB determination table 1 is referred to, and the RB executed from the game that executed the lottery is determined by lottery from RB1 and RB2. In the RB determination table 1, the number corresponding to RB1 is 500, and the number corresponding to RB2 is 200. If the previously executed RB is RB2, the RB determination table 2 is referred to, and the RB executed from the game that executed the lottery is determined by lottery from RB1 and RB2. In the RB determination table 2, the number corresponding to RB1 is 0 (not selected), and the number corresponding to RB2 is 700. Compared with the RB determination table 1, RB2 is selected rather than RB1. The ratio is large (in this example, RB1 is not selected when the RB determination table 2 is referenced). Further, the player is more profitable when RB2 is executed than when RB1 is executed (because the number of payouts for winning-I is larger than that of winning-J). Therefore, the player who is referring to the RB determination table 2 is configured to be more profitable than the player who refers to the RB determination table 1. In addition, when the lottery is executed with reference to the RB determination table 2, RB1 is not selected. Therefore, when a plurality of RBs are executed in one BB, RB2 is executed even once. All RBs executed after the execution of RB are configured such that RB2 with relatively high profit is executed. Since it is configured in this manner, the BB in the second embodiment is a game that focuses on how early RB2 is executed and how many times RB can be executed.

  Returning to the description of the flowchart, next, in step 3116, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M executes the role lottery based on the RB determined in the process of step 3110 or step 3112, and performs the next process (process of step 1400). ). If NO in step 3106, in step 3120, the CPUC 100 of the main control board M executes a role lottery based on the RB being executed, and proceeds to the next process (process in step 1400). In the second embodiment, the specified number of RB1 and RB2 is both three, but is not limited to this. The specified number of RB1 may be three and the specified number of RB2 may be one. By configuring in this way, for example, even if the same condition device number (winning-J) is determined for the game in RB1 and the game in RB2, the maximum payout number at the time of execution of RB1 is 3 The maximum payout number at the time of executing RB2 can be set to 15, and the difference in profit rate between RB1 and RB2 can be further increased. At this time, the RB1 and RB2 that operate are separately described, but by determining the prescribed number by lottery, the payout number corresponding to the winning-J is made different even though the same RB is operating. As a result, the difference in profit margin can be increased.

  By configuring as described above, according to the swivel type gaming machine according to the second embodiment, by configuring so that two RBs of RB1 and RB2 can be executed during execution of BB, It is possible to create a game that focuses on whether RB2 is executed at a stage and how many times RB can be executed.

(Modification 1 from the second embodiment)
In the second embodiment, the two RBs RB1 and RB2 can be executed during the execution of the BB. However, the gameability in such a configuration is not limited to the second embodiment. Therefore, an example of a configuration different from the second embodiment having such a gaming property is a modification example 1 from the second embodiment, and only the changes from the second embodiment will be described in detail below. Utilizing the “advantageous section” to automatically suppress the increase in euphoria while incorporating new gameability specifications that were not used in conventional swing-type game machines. It has become.

  First, FIG. 49 is an example of a small role appearance rate list of a swivel-type gaming machine according to a first modification from the second embodiment. As shown in the figure, in the first modification from the second embodiment, the small role appearance rate at the time of RB1 operation is different from the small role appearance rate at the time of RB2 operation. Specifically, when RB1 is activated, replay-A (normal replay) and winning-I (special role in RB) can appear, and when RB2 is activated, replay-A (normal replay) And replay-F (strong cherry) and winning-I (special role in RB) can appear. In the first modification from the second embodiment, when the BB is won in the “favorable section”, the RB2 is executed during the execution of the BB, and the BB is won in the “normal section”. The RB1 is configured to be executed during the execution of the BB. Further, the number related to the replay at the time of executing RB1 is 2608 of replay-A (normal replay), and the number of the replay at the time of executing RB2 is 2282 of replay-A (normal replay). The replay appearance rate at the time of RB1 execution is the same as the replay appearance rate at the time of RB2 execution (in other words, in RB1) The expected payout value by winning-I and the expected payout value by winning-I at RB2 are the same). In this way, when the replay-F (strong cherry) is won during the execution of the BB won in the “advantageous section”, the number of AT games is added (winning the AT extra lottery) If the BB is won in the “advantageous section” and RB2 is executed during the BB, the strong cherry is stopped and displayed so that the player can increase the number of AT games. Excited to be executed, if BB is won in the “normal section” and RB1 is executed during the BB, the strong cherry is not stopped and displayed, so that the player can increase the number of AT games. No more misunderstanding that it was executed.

  By configuring as described above, according to the swivel type gaming machine according to the second embodiment, it is configured so that two RBs of RB1 and RB2 can be executed during the execution of BB, and the game won by BB Depending on whether the section is a “normal section” or an “advantage section”, the RB executed in the BB is made different so that the lottery probability of the condition device in the RB is appropriate for the game situation. Can be made a more user-friendly gaming machine.

  As in the present embodiment, when the “normal section” is forcibly set when the “advantageous section” continues until a predetermined upper limit number of games (for example, 1500 games) is reached, at that time, It is assumed that RB1 or RB2 is still being executed. In that case, it may be configured to forcibly end the execution of the BB itself including the execution of the RB1 or RB2, or the RB (RB1) corresponding to the “normal section” is set to execute the BB itself. May be configured to continue. Also, based on the fact that the “advantageous section” is approaching the predetermined upper limit number of games (when the counter value of the advantageous section remaining game number counter YKc-1 is close to 0, for example, 30 or less), RB1 is set. You may make it do. In addition, when the “advantageous section” reaches a predetermined upper limit number of games during the execution of RB1 or RB2, the execution of BB itself including the execution of RB1 or RB2 is forcibly terminated. In this case, even when the RT state is scheduled to become an advantageous RT state for the player (for example, “RT3”) after the end of the BB, the “advantageous interval” is the predetermined upper limit number of games during the execution of RB1 or RB2. When BB is reached, the execution of the BB itself including the execution of the RB1 or RB2 is forcibly terminated, and the RT state does not become an advantageous RT state for the player after the completion of the execution of the BB itself (player) The transition to the RT state which is advantageous to the user may be stopped). Further, when the “advantageous section” reaches a predetermined upper limit number of games during the execution of RB1 or RB2, the RB (RB1) corresponding to the “normal section” is set and the execution of the BB itself is continued. In the case of the configuration, when the RT state is scheduled to become an advantageous RT state for the player after the end of the BB (for example, “RT3”), the “favorable section” is set to a predetermined upper limit during the execution of RB1 or RB2. When the number of games is reached, the execution of the BB itself continues, and the RT state does not become an advantageous RT state for the player after the end of the BB (the transition to the RT state advantageous for the player is stopped). You may comprise.

  In the first modification from the second embodiment, when the BB is won in the “advantageous section”, the RB2 is executed during the execution of the BB, and the BB is won in the “normal section”. Is configured so that RB1 is executed during the execution of the BB (the type of RB to be executed is different depending on the game section), but is not limited to this. Whether BB is won or BB is won in the “normal section”, the RB executed during BB execution is configured to be RB1, and when BB is won in the “normal section” The RB1 is configured not to win the replay-F (strong cherry), and the RB1 related to the RB1 winning in the “favorable section” may be configured to win the replay-F (strong cherry). Good (the type of RB to be executed according to the game section is the same) But it may be different from the kind of winning combination in RB).

  Further, in the first modification from the second embodiment, the selection candidate of the condition device that can be won during the BB differs depending on whether the game section won by the BB is a “normal section” or an “advantageous section”. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the selection candidate of the condition device that can be won during the BB does not differ depending on whether the game section won by the BB is a “normal section” or an “advantageous section” It may be configured so that the combination of the stop display when the same condition device is won is made different, and the same effect as in the second embodiment may be created. Specifically, for example, when the game section won for BB is an “advantageous section”, if a strong cherry is won during the execution of RB, replay 07 and replay 08 corresponding to the strong cherry are performed. Alternatively, if the replay 10 is stopped and displayed, while the game section won for the BB is a “normal section” and the strong cherry is won during the execution of the RB, the replay 01 corresponding to the normal replay is performed. Alternatively, the replay 02 may be configured to stop display. In this case, it is preferable that the replay 01 or the replay 02 is also included as the condition device included in the strong cherry (condition device number 16).

In addition, as a structure which makes RB act | operated different depending on whether the game area elected BB is a "normal area" or an "advantageous area", it is good also as following structures. Note that RB1 is an RB in which the average number of games required until the BB end condition is satisfied is relatively small (the BB end condition can be satisfied earlier). For example, a change from the second embodiment RB1 in Example 1 Further, RB2 is an RB in which the average number of games required to satisfy the BB termination condition is relatively large (slowing to satisfy the BB termination condition is delayed), for example, RB2 in the second embodiment. It is. Note that the average number of games required to satisfy the BB termination condition can be designed by adjusting the maximum number of payouts in the RB, the replay probability during RB execution, and the like.
(1) During the execution of the BB elected in the “advantageous section”, RB2, which is a relatively fast RB that satisfies the BB termination condition, is activated.
(2) During the execution of the BB elected in the “normal section”, RB1, which is a relatively slow RB that satisfies the BB termination condition, is activated.
Since there is an upper limit number of games in the “favorable section”, it may be preferable to satisfy the end condition early depending on the type of BB to be executed. In particular, this is a case where BB having a setting difference in the winning probability is executed. This is because an AT extra lottery can be executed during execution of a BB with no setting difference in winning probability, but an AT extra lottery cannot be executed during execution of the BB during execution of a BB with a setting difference in winning probability. .

(Modification 2 from the second embodiment)
In the second embodiment, the two RBs RB1 and RB2 can be executed during the execution of the BB. However, the gameability different from the second embodiment is created as a novel gameplay during the execution of the BB. Is possible. Therefore, an example of a configuration different from that of the second embodiment having such gaming properties is referred to as a second modification from the second embodiment, and only the changes from the second embodiment will be described in detail below.

  First, FIG. 50 is a flowchart of the game progress control process (second sheet) according to Modification 2 from the second embodiment. The change from the second embodiment is step 3800 (second change 2), and the purpose is to control whether or not a state in which the game progress is stopped during the execution of the BB (hereinafter sometimes referred to as freeze). Is to do. That is, if the CPUMC of the main control board M determines in step 1251 that the start lever D50 is valid and there is an operation, the CPUMC of the main control board M freezes in BB, which will be described later, in step 3800. Control processing is executed, and the process proceeds to step 1253.

  Next, FIG. 51 is a flowchart of the freeze control process during BB according to the subroutine of Step 3800 (second modification 2) in FIG. 50 in Modification 2 from the second embodiment. First, in step 3702, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the BB winning flag (a flag that is turned on at the timing when the BB winning combination wins and a timer for starting the BB timer) is on. judge. If Yes in step 3702, in step 3704, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the start lever D50 has been operated (determines whether or not a game medal has been inserted or a bet button D220 has been operated. May be configured). If Yes in step 3704, the process proceeds to step 3710. On the other hand, if No in step 3704, the CPUMC of the main control board M freezes in step 3706 if the BB timer value is a predetermined value (for example, 20 seconds and the start lever D50 is not operated for 20 seconds). It is determined whether or not the occurrence has been reached. The BB timer is a timer that starts when the BB combination in FIG. If Yes in step 3706, the process proceeds to step 3710. If No in step 3706, the process proceeds to step 3704. Next, in step 3710, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines the presence / absence of freeze occurrence in the BB with reference to the freeze occurrence presence / absence determination table based on the timer value during BB. Here, the lower right of the figure is an example of a freeze occurrence presence / absence determination table. In this example, when the timer value in the BB is 0 to 3 seconds, there is no freezing. When the timer value during the BB is 3 to 6 seconds, freezing occurs and the timer value during the BB is 6 to 9 seconds. In some cases, freezing does not occur, and when the BB timer value is 9 to 12 seconds, freezing has occurred. That is, every time when the timer value during BB elapses, the occurrence of freezing → the occurrence of freezing is switched. By configuring in this way, the player tries to select the occurrence of freezing, but even if the time has elapsed and the BB timer value becomes a timer value corresponding to no freezing, a few seconds By waiting, it is possible to select again freezing. At the same time, as will be described later with reference to the execution execution image during BB in FIG. 55, in the effect display device S40, the player selects the effect during BB (the effect without freeze, that is, the “one-shot effect” or the freeze) An effect, that is, a “pounding effect”) image is displayed to switch every 3 seconds.

  Next, in step 3712, the CPUMC of the main control board M sets a command (command to the sub-control board S side) related to whether or not the BB freeze occurs. Next, in step 3714, the CPUMC of the main control board M stops the BB timer and clears it to zero. Next, in step 3716, the CPUMC of the main control board M turns off the BB winning flag and proceeds to the next process (the process of step 1253). In the case of No in step 3702, the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 1253). With this configuration, on the main control board M side, it is possible to determine whether or not the BB freeze has occurred based on the elapsed time of the BB timer value and the operation timing of the start lever D50.

  Next, FIG. 52 is a flowchart of the game progress control process (third sheet) according to Modification 2 from the second embodiment. First, the changes from the second embodiment are step 3100 (second modification 2), step 1292-1 (second modification 2), and step 3700 (second modification 2). The control is to change the end condition related to the BB execution executed when winning a prize, and the BB timer is started when the BB combination wins. That is, after it is determined in step 1294 that the CPUMC of the main control board M is executing BB, in step 3100 (second variation 2), the CPUMC of the main control board M performs lottery execution processing in BB described later. Execute and go to step 1400. In step 3500, after the CPUMC of the main control board M executes the above-described game section transition control process, in step 1292-1 (second variation 2), the CPUMC of the main control board M wins the BB role. Determine whether or not. In the case of Yes in step 1292-1 (second modification 2), in step 3700 (second modification 2), the CPUMC of the main control board M executes a BB timer control process described later, and proceeds to step 1293. On the other hand, also in the case of No in step 1292-1 (second modification 2), the process proceeds to step 1293.

  Next, FIG. 53 is a flowchart of lottery execution processing during BB according to the subroutine of Step 3100 (second modification 2) in FIG. 52 in Modification 2 from the second embodiment. First, in step 3122, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the game is a BB start game. In the case of Yes in step 3122, in step 3124, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines the payout number as an end condition related to BB execution by lottery with reference to the payout number determination table, and proceeds to step 3126. On the other hand, also in the case of No in step 3122, the process proceeds to step 3126. Next, in step 3126, the CPUMC of the main control board M executes a role lottery based on the RB being executed, and proceeds to the next process (process in step 1400). Here, the payout number determination table on the right side of the figure is a table showing the distribution of the payout number of the end condition related to the BB execution, and the number for setting the end condition when the payout exceeds 110 sheets is 200. , The number of entries to be terminated by paying out more than 220 sheets is 300, the number of places to be terminated by paying out more than 330 sheets is ended by paying out more than 300,440 sheets The numeric value for making this an end condition is 200. The BB that is the end condition with a small number of payouts (payout exceeding 110 sheets) and the BB that is the end condition with a large number of payouts (payouts exceeding 440 sheets) are relatively difficult to select. There is no problem even if the contents of the payout number determination table are changed. Further, in the second modification from the second embodiment, the payout number that is the BB end condition in the BB start game is determined by lottery, but is not limited to this, and is not limited to this, and when winning the BB role or winning a prize You may comprise so that a lottery may be performed at the time.

  Next, FIG. 54 is a flowchart of the BB timer control process according to the subroutine of Step 3700 (second modification 2) in FIG. 52 in Modification 2 from the second embodiment. First, in step 3702, the CPUMC of the main control board M determines whether or not the BB winning flag is off. If Yes in step 3702, in step 3704, the CPUMC of the main control board M turns on the BB winning flag. Next, in step 3706, the CPUMC of the main control board M starts a timer during BB. Next, in step 3707, the CPUMC of the main control board M performs a command related to the start of timer measurement (a command to the subcontrol board S side, which is linked with the timing of the BB timer, on the subcontrol board S side. Command) is set, and the process proceeds to the next process (the process of step 1293). Note that, also in the case of No in step 3702, the processing proceeds to the next processing (processing in step 1293).

  Next, FIG. 55 is an example of an BB medium effect execution image diagram according to Modification 2 from the second embodiment. Initially, a screen for selecting an effect during BB starting from the next game is displayed when the BB combination wins in the previous game. On the left side is the “one-shot effect”, and the contents of the effect where the freeze is not executed (that is, the full announcement in advance of the number of RBs to be continued or the approximate number of medals acquired at the BB at the start of the BB), while the right side is “pounding effect” "Production" is performed. Freezing is performed, and an effect is given that reflects the degree of expectation that RB will continue to be executed. Here, freezing means that a game function for advancing a game stops functioning for a predetermined time. For example, operation members (left stop button D41, middle stop button D42, right stop button D43, start lever D50, etc.) ) Is invalidated for a predetermined time, and operations corresponding to operations on the operation members (the rotation start and stop of the left reel M51, middle reel M52, and right reel M53, left stop button D41, middle stop button D42). , Activation of the right stop button D43, etc.) can be delayed by a predetermined time. In the first display after winning the BB winning combination, the display of “one-shot effect” is surrounded by a dotted line, and “one-shot effect” is selected. Next, when 3 seconds elapse, the display switches to a display in which “pounding effect” is selected. Furthermore, after the elapse of 3 seconds, the display is again switched to the display in which “one-shot effect” is selected. First, when the start lever D50 is operated while “pounding effect” is selected (in the case of the upper center in the figure), an indication that “pounding effect” is selected and BB starts (“BB”). ”Is started, and the BB is started without notifying how many pieces of BB are to be paid out. Next, if there are 110 or more payouts, a message indicating that the BB is finished ("Sorry !!") is displayed and the freeze is executed, and the player's operation on the operation member becomes invalid. After that, the freeze ends after the elapse of a predetermined time, and an indication that the BB is continued (“continue !!”) is displayed on the effect display device S40 by operating the start lever D50 or the bet button D220, and the BB continues.

  On the other hand, when the start lever D50 is operated while the “one-shot effect” is selected (in the case of the upper right in the figure), the “one-shot effect” is determined and at the same time, BB is 440 sheets. A message indicating that the payout is over is displayed (“4 consecutive confirmation !!”), and BB is started. Note that the main control board M side determines whether “one-shot effect” or “pounding effect” is selected, that is, whether or not the freeze is executed. More specifically, when the effect selection screen is displayed, the BB timer is started on the main control board M side, and the operation of the start lever D50 determines the current timer value and whether or not the freeze has occurred in FIG. With reference to the table, it is determined whether or not the freeze is executed, and the main control board M transmits the determined result to the sub-control board S side.

  Next, FIG. 56 is a table showing an example of the occurrence timing of the gaze end effect according to the modified example 2 from the second embodiment. In the following description, it is assumed that the payout number determined as the end condition for executing BB is “A <B <C <D”. First, the upper table (1) is a table showing the occurrence timing of an effective end effect. Note that the “gase effect” means that “unfortunately !!” described above with reference to FIG. 55 is displayed on the effect display device S40, an effect that causes the BB to end is executed, a freeze is generated, and the freeze ends. At the same time, it is an effect to notify that the execution of BB is continued. The execution form of the gaze end effect corresponding to the table of (1) is configured such that the gaze end effect is generated once instead of generating the gaze end effect a plurality of times during one BB. For example, when D (for example, 480 sheets) is determined as the bonus ending condition, the probability of occurrence of the gasse end effect is more likely to occur at A (for example: 120 sheets) (for example, 20%). It is set to be higher than the probability (example: 2%) occurring at C (example: 360 sheets). In the event that a Gase end effect occurs in A, despite the fact that the player is prepared to end with the acquisition of 120 BBs, in fact, as many as 360 game medals can be subsequently acquired, If the Gase end effect occurs in C, after the player is prepared to finish BB with 360 acquisition, 120 game medals can be further acquired. That is, the greater the gap between the effect of informing the player of which payout number is to be ended and the real end condition, the higher the degree of joy of the player. Therefore, A is configured to be more easily selected than C as the timing at which the end effect is generated. It should be noted that the freeze time at the time of execution of the end effect and the freeze time at the time of execution of the real end effect (at the time of execution of the BB end effect) are longer or the same as the freeze time at the time of execution of the real end effect. Yes.

  Next, the table (2) in the middle is a table showing the occurrence timing of the gasse end effect in which the determined payout number becomes D confirmed. In addition, it is set as the structure which can generate | occur | produce an end effect every time at the bonus end timing (A, B, C) which can be selected in one BB. However, instead of a general gase end effect, a high profit gase end effect that is D-determined may be generated. In other words, when the high profit gase end effect occurs, the BB does not end at the timing of B or C, and it becomes definite that the BB ends at the timing D when the payout number increases most. It should be noted that it is preferable that after the high-profession end effect is generated, a subsequent end effect is not generated (when D is confirmed, a dedicated effect during BB is displayed). Here, the high-profit Gase end effect is, for example, a Gase end effect different from a general Gase end effect, such as the output of a background image or a specific character image. As a specific probability of occurrence of the high profit gase end effect, for example, when D is selected as the determined payout number, the probability (4%) that the high profit gase end effect occurs at the timing of A is: It is set to be higher than the probability (1%) of generating the high profit gase end effect at the timing B. By configuring in this way, the effect of notifying the player at which payout number of BBs ends and the true end condition and the greater the gap between the real end conditions, the higher the player's joy level is created. be able to. Further, when D is selected as the determined number of payouts, the probability (5%) that a Gase end effect that becomes D determined at the timing of C is generated is a Gase end effect that becomes D determined at the B time. It is set higher than the probability of occurrence (1%). By configuring in this way, it is possible to create an effect of suppressing the loss of a feeling of pounding in subsequent games due to the timing at which the high profit gaze end effect occurs too early. it can.

  Next, the table of (3) is a table showing the setting timing suggestion by the occurrence timing of the end effect and the determined payout number. As a general setting value suggesting effect (including a set value finalizing effect), it is configured such that a gasse end effect is not generated multiple times during one bonus, but is generated once. Is due to an effect in the unit game (for example, an image effect output after the bonus ends) or the like, but the content of the effect is set by a combination of both the Gase end effect and the selected BB (BB end timing). Since value suggestion can be performed, it is possible to increase concentration during BB and allow the game to be performed (remember the timing when the ending effect was made, and finally when the BB ended It is a specification aimed at the effect of combining these in the player's head. The specific relationship between the determined number of payouts and the probability of occurrence of the end effect is that the number of payouts less than the maximum payout number that can be determined (BB continues until the timing of D) and the combination of the end effect Thus, the setting value suggestion (including the setting value finalizing effect) is set. As a result, even if the bonus ends when the number of payouts (for example, timing C) is not the most pleasing to the player, it is selected as the end effect (for example, timing B) in the BB. If there is a possibility that the set value can be grasped by combination with BB (for example, timing of C), the player's feeling of disappointment will also fade.

  In (3), when the setting is 1 to 3 (or odd number), the lottery may be performed with a probability of 1, and when the setting is 4 to 6 (or even number), the lottery may be performed with a probability of 2. This specification may be adopted during a BB where there is no setting difference in the lottery probability, or this specification may be used during a BB where there is a setting difference in the lottery probability. During the BB where there is a setting difference, because it is not possible to add a lottery with AT etc. in either the “advantageous section” or the “normal section”, it will be a game that simply digests the BB, This configuration makes it possible to prevent the player from getting bored. In addition, when the BB has no setting difference in the lottery probability, since the BB has no setting difference in the first place, the setting value cannot be estimated based on the winning probability of the BB. It is possible to suggest a set value (including a set value finalizing effect) by combining the end conditions.

  By configuring as described above, according to the rotating type gaming machine according to the modified example 2 from the second embodiment, even if the same BB combination is won, a plurality of payout numbers serving as the BB end condition are obtained. By configuring so that the number of payouts is determined by lottery from the selection candidates, it is difficult for the player to determine how much profit is in the BB if the BB is not executed, and the game can be played without losing attention to the BB. Can proceed.

(Modification 3 from the second embodiment)
In the second modification from the second embodiment, the payout number serving as the BB end condition has a plurality of selection candidates, and the payout number is determined by lottery, but is not limited thereto. A gaming machine having a plurality of selection candidates as a payout number serving as a BB end condition, which has a gameability different from that of the second modification from the second embodiment, can be configured. Therefore, an example of a configuration different from the second modified example from the second embodiment having such a gaming property is a third modified example from the second embodiment, and hereinafter, the modified example from the second modified example from the second embodiment. Only the point will be described in detail.

  First, FIG. 57 is a flowchart of lottery execution processing during BB according to the subroutine of Step 3100 (second modification 2) in FIG. 52 in Modification 3 from the second embodiment. First, the changes from the second embodiment from the second modification are the step 3124 (second variation 3) and the payout number determination table, that is, in step 3122, the CPUMC of the main control board M performs the game. After determining that the game is a BB start game, in step 3124 (second variation 3), the CPUMC of the main control board M determines a payout number as a BB end condition based on the current game section, and in step 3126. Migrate to Here, in the payout number determination table, when the game section is “normal section”, when the end condition for executing BB is more than 330 pieces, and when the game section is “advantageous section”, The end condition related to BB execution is a payout exceeding 440 sheets.

  By configuring as described above, according to the rotating type gaming machine according to the modified example 3 from the second embodiment, the payout number serving as the BB end condition is varied depending on the game section at the start of the BB. In the case of the “advantageous section”, a relatively larger number of medals can be obtained during the BB execution than in the case of the “normal section”.

  As in the present embodiment, when the “normal section” is forcibly set when the “advantageous section” continues until a predetermined upper limit number of games (for example, 1500 games) is reached, at that time, It is assumed that BB is still being executed. In that case, it may be configured to forcibly end the execution of the BB itself, and when the end condition related to the BB execution is set to exceed 440 sheets, if there are still no more than 330 sheets to be paid out The end condition related to the BB execution may be switched to a payout exceeding 330 sheets, or may be continued until there is a payout exceeding 440 sheets without switching the end condition related to the BB execution.

  Note that the “advantageous section” may be able to perform a lottery or an additional lottery to change the performance of the “advantageous section” even during the BB. In such a case, the end condition may be changed so that the user can stay in the BB for a long period (for a long number of games). For example, since the advantageous section is restricted to 1500 games, there are cases where it is desired to consume BB in the advantageous section with a small number of games. In such a case, the end condition may be changed so that it can be satisfied quickly. For example, only when the advantageous section is in the ED state (i.e., a state close to 1500 games), the end condition when the accessory is activated is changed (even if the gaming section is the “favorable section”) An end condition related to execution may be set for a payout exceeding 330 sheets). Of course, only when the “advantageous zone” is in the ED state (that is, a state close to 1500 games), the end condition for executing the BB may be set to a payout exceeding 440 cards. Originally, the state close to 1500 games is a period in which the player is less interested, so that it is possible to prevent the player from becoming less interested.

(Third embodiment)
In the first modification from the second embodiment, the type of RB that operates during BB execution may differ depending on whether the game section is an “advantageous section” (assumed to be either RB1 or RB2). However, the configuration in which the game content differs depending on whether or not the game section is an “advantageous section” is not limited to this. Therefore, an example of a configuration different from the first modification from the second embodiment is referred to as a third embodiment, and only differences from the first modification from the second embodiment will be described in detail below.

  First, FIG. 58 is a flowchart of the game progress control process (third sheet) according to the third embodiment. The change from the first modification from the second embodiment is Step 1257 (third), and the purpose is to determine the game contents during non-BB execution depending on whether or not the game section is an “advantageous section”. It is to make it different. That is, after the CPUMC of the main control board M acquires a random number in step 1254, in step 1257 (third), the CPUMC of the main control board M starts an internal lottery based on the game section (see FIG. 59). (Refer to the small role and BB appearance rate list), and the process proceeds to step 1400. Here, FIG. 59 is an example of a small role and BB appearance rate list according to the third embodiment. First, the table on the left of the figure shows the small role and the BB appearance rate when the game section is not an “advantageous section”, while the table on the right of the figure shows that the game section is an “advantageous section”. In this case, the small role and the BB appearance rate are shown. As shown in the figure, when the game section is an “advantageous section”, the appearance rate of BB is higher than when the game section is not an “advantageous section” (that is, so-called bonuses). The operating probability of the condition device related to the continuous operating device is fluctuating). In addition, the aspect of changing the winning probability of BB in the “advantageous section” is not limited to these. For example, after the end of BB in the “advantageous section”, the winning probability is changed for a certain period. May be. In this case, when the upper limit number of games in the “favorable section” is reached (for example, 1500 games) during execution of the BB, after the execution of the BB is completed, the period is constant (although it is “normal section”). The winning probability of the BB role may be changed, and when the upper limit number of games (for example, 1500 games) in the “favorable section” is reached during the execution of the BB, The winning combination probability may not be changed. Further, for example, the winning probability of the BB combination may be changed only when the “advantageous section” is in the ED state (a state close to 1500 games). Furthermore, during the “favorable section”, the winning probability of condition devices other than the BB combination (that is, RB combination, small role, replaying combination, etc.) may be changed. You may change the winning probabilities for each role.

  With the configuration as described above, according to the swivel type gaming machine according to the third embodiment, the winning probability of the BB can be configured to differ depending on whether or not the game section is an “advantageous section”. The player can advance the game while paying more attention to the “advantageous section” than before. In addition, as described above, in the rotating type gaming machine according to the third embodiment, the “advantageous section” is utilized to automatically suppress a significant increase in euphoria and Since it is a new game specification that has not been adopted in the game machines, the occupancy rate of the “advantageous section” has a great influence on the performance. Therefore, it is recommended that the occupancy rate of the “advantageous section” be configured so that it can be aggregated and calculated on the main control board M and displayed as an index indicating the legitimacy of the performance.

(Modification 1 from the third embodiment)
In the third embodiment, the winning probability of the BB combination is different depending on whether or not the game section is an “advantageous section”, but if the game content is different depending on whether or not the game section is an “advantageous section”, Other configurations can be exemplified. Therefore, an example of a configuration different from the third embodiment is a first modification from the third embodiment, and only changes from the third embodiment will be described in detail below.

  First, FIG. 60 is a small role appearance rate list 2 according to Modification 1 from the third embodiment. As shown in the figure, the small role appearance rate is different when the RT state is “RT3” between the case where the game section is “advantageous section” and the case where it is not “advantageous section”. . Specifically, when the game section is not an “advantageous section”, the number of places related to the replays D-1 to D3, which are condition devices that can fall from “RT3” to “RT1”, is 8100, respectively. On the other hand, when the game section is an “advantageous section”, the number relating to the replays D-1 to D3, which is a condition device that can fall from “RT3” to “RT1”, is 1, respectively. That is, when the game section is an “advantageous section”, a re-game player who can fall from “RT3” is hardly won. When the game section is not an “advantageous section”, the number of places related to the replay-A is 4504, and the total number of places related to the replays D-1 to D-3 is 24300. On the other hand, when the game section is an “advantageous section”, the number of places related to the replay-A is 28801, and the total number of places related to the replays D-1 to D-3 is 3. The sum of the numbers related to replay-A and the numbers related to replays D-1 to 3 is the same at 28804 in the case of “advantageous section” and the case of not being “advantageous section”. .

  With the configuration as described above, according to the rotating type gaming machine according to the modified example 1 from the third embodiment, it is determined whether or not the re-game player in “RT3” depends on whether or not the game section is an “advantageous section”. By configuring so that the appearance rate is different, the player pushes when re-game D-1 to 3 is won in “advantageous section” and “RT3”, which basically stays in “AT state” The situation of falling to “RT1” by mistake in order can be reduced, and a more user-friendly gaming machine can be obtained. The winning probability of replays D-1 to D-3 is “0”, and the total number of replays is the same for “RT3” of “normal section” and “RT3” of “advantageous section”. Thus, the player may be prevented from falling into an unfavorable RT state (“RT1”) due to the winning of the re-gamer.

  In this example, peripheral devices such as the effect display device S40 and the speaker S20 are controlled on the sub control substrate S side based on information from the main control substrate M side. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and information may be communicated with the outside of the rotating game machine P. An example of the configuration that enables such external input / output will be described below.

  First, FIG. 61 is an example of a GPS position information recognition image diagram according to this example. First, “GPS (Global Positioning System)” is a global navigation satellite system in the United States using space. In general, provide reliable positioning, navigation, and timing services continuously in almost any weather, day and night, and almost anywhere on or near Earth where effective satellite communication is possible It is something that can be done. The swivel type gaming machine according to this example includes a GPS receiver (not shown) that is position information acquisition means for acquiring the position information of the rotating type gaming machine P, and the GPS receiver (not shown) It is connected to the sub control board S. A GPS receiver (not shown) measures the time until each radio wave transmitted from a plurality of GPS satellites arrives, and obtains position information of the revolving game machine P based on the distance from the orbit. . The position information of the spinning type gaming machine P acquired by a GPS receiver (not shown) is transmitted to the sub control board S.

  Next, description will be made with reference to the drawings. First, radio waves are transmitted from the artificial satellite EP in the figure. Each swirl type gaming machine P having a GPS receiver receives this radio wave. In the figure, three revolving game machine installation locations (LP) of A store in α city, B warehouse in β city, and C store in γ city are shown. Each swivel type gaming machine P processes the position information of the swivel type gaming machine P acquired by the GPS receiver by the CPUSC of the sub control board S of the swivel type gaming machine P (the GPS receiver is a communication means). Directly), it can be connected to the Internet NW by a communication means such as Wi-Fi and transmitted to a server (CPS) of a management company (game machine manufacturer, etc.). Note that the spinning machine P installed in the C store in γ city cannot use the GPS function and cannot receive radio waves because the GPS unit is removed from the spinning game machine P or the like. In this case, as shown in the right dotted frame, the effect display device S40 displays that the GPS cannot be used ("ERROR !! GPS cannot be used") (while the GPS is functioning, If the location information cannot be grasped, no error message appears or it disappears immediately). Further, the present invention is not limited to this, and an error signal may be transmitted to the outside when the GPS function cannot be exhibited. Further, by having a backup power supply for GPS, it is possible to grasp the position of the spinning type gaming machine P even when the power is not turned on.

  By configuring in this way, game machine manufacturers and the like have a means (ID) for specifying each swivel type game machine and a means (GPS) for specifying the current position, and sold them. The position of the subsequent spinning machine P can be grasped sequentially. As a result, for example, by grasping the distribution route of the spinning machine P, it is possible to contribute to the smoothing of the used market. It can also be expected to contribute to preventing the spinning-type gaming machine P from being used for illegal games (so-called “dark slot”). Note that the configuration that enables grasping of position information is not limited to GPS. For example, in the case of having Wi-Fi, any management company receives beacon signals (SSID, MAC address, radio wave intensity, etc.) transmitted from a plurality of Wi-Fi access points and based on the beacon signals. Download the location information of the corresponding access point from the cloud database managed by. By calculating the distance from the access point based on the position information of the access point and the intensity of the radio wave, it is also possible to grasp the position of the revolving game machine.

  Next, FIG. 62 is an example of an RTC effect simultaneous execution image diagram related to the spinning cylinder gaming machine P of the present example. First, the transition of effects executed on the effect display device S40 of the three swivel-type gaming machines P arranged in the left-right direction in the order from the upper stage to the middle stage and the lower stage is shown. First, in the upper part of the figure, on the effect display device S40 of the spinning-reel game machine P, different effects according to the progress of the game (the left is the timer effect by the sub input button SB, the center is the battle effect, the right , An effect that an enemy character approaches). Next, in the middle of the figure, the information related to the simultaneous production based on the information of the RTC (real time clock) is transmitted from the central revolving game machine P via Wi-Fi communication to the revolving game machines P on both sides. Sent to. In the lower part of the figure, the central spinning-type gaming machine P is the information related to the simultaneous production (production contents and production start time) that has been temporarily stored in advance, and the rotary-type gaming machines P on both sides receive the simultaneous production. On the basis of the information related to the above, the same effect is simultaneously executed. In addition, the method of communication between the swirl type gaming machines P is not limited to Wi-Fi, and any method may be used as long as information related to the simultaneous performance can be transmitted and received. For example, Bluetooth or NFC may be used. Further, in this example, information related to simultaneous performance is transmitted from one spinning machine P to all other spinning machines P, but the present invention is not limited to this, and other neighboring spinning machines Information may be sequentially transmitted to the gaming machines P, and the information may be shared with all the machines. Each time the revolving gaming machines P communicate with the outside before a predetermined time before the simultaneous performance by the RTC is executed, You may comprise so that exact | strict simultaneous production can be performed by eliminating a shift | offset | difference.

  By configuring in this way, even if there is a shift in information on the current time between the revolving game machines P, simultaneous production can be executed simultaneously, and more synergistic production is effective. Can be executed. In addition, as will be described later, communication with a mobile terminal (smartphone, tablet, etc.) {for example, Wi-Fi (including Wi-Fi Direct), Bluetooth, etc.) is possible, and an RTC is also installed at the same time. In addition, based on the information on the effect of the swing type gaming machine P (sent to the mobile terminal), the effect may be executed even on the mobile terminal. By configuring in this way, even if you are away from the spinning machine P at the timing of the simultaneous performance, you can see the production on your own mobile terminal, so user-friendly spinning game Can be a machine.

In the gaming machine according to this example, the following configuration may be applied.
(1) When the wireless connection is disconnected (for example, the router is turned off, etc.), the set simultaneous effects and linked effects (the effects that become one linked effect mode by effects by a plurality of gaming machines) automatically Canceled.
(2) Even without using RTC, it may be configured such that simultaneous effects can be made at an arbitrary timing by sending instructions simultaneously from a hall computer or the like. When configured in this way, it can be configured to transmit confirmation information for confirming whether or not simultaneous production can be performed normally.
(3) If there is a game machine in the eco mode (power saving mode) among the gaming machines that perform the simultaneous performance, even if the game machine is in the eco mode, the non-eco mode (non- Produce in power saving mode.
(4) If there is a gaming machine that opens the front door DU among the gaming machines that perform the simultaneous performance, the gaming machine that is opening the front door DU may be configured not to perform the simultaneous performance. In this case, a simultaneous effect is performed internally, and the simultaneous effect becomes visible when the front door DU is closed.
(5) If there is a gaming machine in which the state related to AT is in a push order navigation state (for example, “AT state”) among the gaming machines that perform simultaneous production, the gaming machine does not perform simultaneous production.
(6) If there is a gaming machine in which the player confirms the payout table among the gaming machines that perform the simultaneous performance, the gaming machine does not perform the simultaneous performance. In this case, a simultaneous production may be performed internally, and when confirmation is completed, it may be configured to be visible from a timing during the simultaneous production.
(7) It is configured so that the player can set whether or not to perform a simultaneous performance, and if there is a gaming machine that is set to reject (a setting that does not perform the simultaneous performance), the gaming machine can perform the simultaneous performance. It can also be configured not to do so.

  Next, FIG. 63 is an example of a captured image reception image diagram according to the spinning cylinder game machine of this example. First, from the upper left of the figure, an image related to the notice effect is displayed on the effect display device S40, and at the same time, an indication that the image can be captured is displayed in the lower part of the effect display device S40 (“capture is now possible. .)). Next, in the upper center of the figure, when the player operates the sub input button, the lower part of the effect display device S40 indicates that the captured image data can be received (“image data can be received. Here, in the lower left part of the figure, the captured image data is carried via NFC communication by holding the portable terminal KP (for example, a smartphone) over the revolving game machine P. Next, the captured image data can be displayed on the lower right side of the figure, and an image related to the notice effect is displayed on the right side of the figure. The notice effect has ended and the next effect has been executed, but the indication that the image can be captured (“capture is currently possible”) remains displayed. It has, capture possible states of the image is continued.

  By configuring as described above, conventionally, when an effect (such as a premier effect or an effect at the time of a rare role winning) that a player is uplifted or the like is displayed, or the number of games acquired in a series of games is shown. When the total number-of-acquisition effect was displayed, there was a scene of shooting with a portable terminal owned by the player, but in addition to saving the player's trouble, obtaining a clear image without shaking Is possible. In addition, when a shooting operation has to be performed while a game is in progress, it often happens that a shooting opportunity is missed and desired image data cannot be acquired. However, according to the configuration of this example, if the sub input button SB is operated during the display indicating that the image can be captured (“capture is currently possible”), the operation is constant after the sub input button SB is operated. Since the desired image data can be acquired simply by holding the portable terminal KP over the period, there is no failure in acquiring the image data, and a user-friendly revolving game machine can be obtained. The data that can be acquired is not limited to image data, and may be configured to be acquired as a video. Further, the image data that can be acquired is not an image determined in advance as in this example, but can be configured such that the player himself can freely select an image and timing to be captured at any time.

  Here, when information is communicated from the swivel type gaming machine P to the portable terminal, it is possible to perform communication only by NFC communication as described above, but the present invention is not limited to this. You may comprise so that it may communicate by {Wi-Fi (a Wi-Fi Direct is included), Bluetooth etc.}. In such a case, the other standards {Wi-Fi (including Wi-Fi Direct), Bluetooth, etc.} after pairing by NFC because of the ease of operation at the time of pairing (authentication work) Thus, it is possible to configure so that information is transmitted from the swivel type gaming machine P to a portable terminal or the like. Further, the information to be communicated is not limited to image data, and information relating to a game history can be transmitted to the mobile terminal KP. More specifically, for example, when a player's start operation (for example, after the operation of the sub input button SB) is stored, a game history or the like is stored, and when pairing (authentication work) is performed by NFC, the smartphone It is determined that the game is over by linking with the revolving game machine P and the Internet site by using other apps, such as other standards {Wi-Fi (including Wi-Fi Direct), Bluetooth Etc.} is sent to the portable terminal KP. On the other hand, after pairing (authentication work) by NFC, after the player's end operation (for example, operation of the sub input button SB, etc.), it is determined that the game ends, and other standards Information related to game history or the like may be transmitted to the mobile terminal KP by {Wi-Fi (including Wi-Fi Direct), Bluetooth, etc.}.

  Also, when pairing (authentication work) was performed by NFC, it was determined that the linkage with the mobile site by the smartphone application was started, and the game history was stored from that time, and the player had finished the operation. Sometimes it is determined that the game is over, and information related to the game history etc. is transmitted to the portable terminal KP according to other standards {Wi-Fi (including Wi-Fi Direct), Bluetooth, etc.} Also good. In addition, when the second pairing (authentication work) is performed, it is determined that the game is over, and the game history is based on other standards {Wi-Fi (including Wi-Fi Direct), Bluetooth, etc.} Etc. may be transmitted to the portable terminal KP. Further, when pairing (authentication work) is performed by NFC, it is determined that the link with the mobile site by the smartphone application is started, and the game history or the like is stored from that time. -Fi (including Wi-Fi Direct), Bluetooth, etc.} may be used to send information related to the game history to the mobile terminal KP. Naturally, the above-described effect information (rare effect information or the like) may be transmitted simultaneously. That is, the MAC address or the like may be transmitted by NFC, and the information regarding the game history or the like may be transmitted by another standard {Wi-Fi (including Wi-Fi Direct), Bluetooth, etc.}. It is preferable to delete information related to the game history and the like after transmission is completed. When communication is disconnected during transmission, information regarding the game history or the like may be transmitted only when communication with the mobile terminal KP before disconnection becomes possible again. It should be noted that the communication with the mobile terminal KP may be linked to game software executed on the mobile terminal KP. For example, the acquired game result is transmitted to the mobile terminal, and based on the information, a ranking is determined with players nationwide in the smartphone game, or the game result in the game is compared with the actual game result and displayed. It can also be configured.

  Next, FIG. 64 shows an example of an image diagram of the push order display of the swivel type gaming machine according to the present example. The table in the figure shows the reel stop order and the instruction number indicated by the push order navigation to be executed (information relating to the push order. In this example, the main control board M is determined and transmitted to the sub control board S). It is a table | surface which shows a response | compatibility. For example, the instruction number when informing “middle → right → left” as the pressing order indicates “A5”. Next, on the left side of the figure, when the push order is “left → middle → right” (the corresponding instruction number is “A1”), the push order display device D270, the advantageous section display device YH, and the effect display device S40. An image displayed on the screen is illustrated. Here, the push order display device D270 of this example is a 7-segment display method and also serves as a payout number display device. When the medals are paid out, the number of medals paid out is displayed as a two-digit number on the push order display device D270. Here, even when the push order navigation is executed, if the display of the push order display device D270 is displayed as a two-digit numerical value, whether the display on the push order display device D270 indicates the number of medals to be paid out or not. It becomes difficult to determine whether the navigation display is displayed. For this reason, the push order display device D270 displays “=” in the left digit as “= 1” so that it can be distinguished whether the number of medals has been paid out or the push order navigation display. By configuring, when the display of the push order display device D270 is a two-digit numerical value, it is a display of the number of medals to be paid out. As the display of the push order display device D270, the left side is “=” and the right side is a number. If there is, it is configured so that it can be determined that the display is a push order navigation, and it is configured to prevent misidentification of the player. Further, in the advantageous section indicator YH provided at the lower right of the push order display device D270, a lamp indicating that the current game section is the “favorable section” is lit. At the same time, a display of “40 remaining games” indicating the number of remaining games in the “advantageous section” (or “AT state”) is displayed on the effect display device S40. Also, the right side of the figure shows an image displayed on the push order display device D270 and the effect display device S40 when the push order is “middle → left → right” (the corresponding instruction number is “A3”). Yes. In addition, since the current game section is an “advantageous section”, the advantageous section indicator YH is lit, and a display of “25 remaining games” indicating the number of remaining games in the “advantageous section” is displayed on the effect display device S40. Is displayed. It should be noted that a combination with a push order (a condition device with a medal payout out of condition devices whose stop display is different depending on the reel stop order, for example, a bell) and a re-playing combination with a push order (depending on the reel stop order) The condition display of the instruction number of the condition device having a different combination of the stopped display may be different, and the display method of the push order display device D270 is limited to 7 segments. For example, an instruction may be made by turning on a plurality of LEDs according to a lighting pattern corresponding to an instruction number using an LED display. In addition, it is good also as a structure provided with the advantageous area display YH in the lower right part of the credit amount display apparatus D200. In this case, the timing for turning on the advantageous section indicator YH is preferably until the operation of the settlement button D60 becomes effective. When the player quits the game, he / she checks the credit number display device D200 to check whether there are any medals remaining. If there are medals remaining, the settlement button D60 is operated. That is, it is a user-friendly gaming machine that can be prevented from accidentally quitting a game even though it is an “advantageous section” from the next game by lighting until the settlement button D60 is activated. be able to.

  In addition, the notification mode of the game section in the advantageous section display YH is not limited to this example, and the same section display as the advantageous section display YH is provided on the lower right of both of the two seven segments (the section display is provided with the section display). It is also possible to have a configuration with two). In such a configuration, when the left section indicator lights up, the fact that the current game section is “normal section” is notified, while the right section When the section indicator lights up, it may be configured to notify that the current game section is an “advantageous section”. Furthermore, “normal section” and “advantageous section” are distinguished by the color and lighting mode when the section indicator is lit (for example, “green” in “normal section” and “red” in “advantageous section”). Or “lighting in the“ normal section ”and“ flashing ”in the“ favorable section ””). Furthermore, the display mode of the section indicator is changed according to “in-AT BB internal game”, “AT-in-BB state”, “AT precursor state”, “AT-in-state”, etc. in the “advantageous section”. May be. Furthermore, it may be configured to recognize that the current game section is the “standby section” separately from the “normal section” and the “favorable section”. However, the distinction between “normal section” and “advantageous section” is made easy to distinguish, for example, by using different section indicators, and the player recognizes whether the current game section is “advantageous section” or not. It is preferable to make it easy to do.

  Further, regarding the display on the effect display device S40 indicating the number of remaining games in the “advantageous section”, for example, in the “AT precursor state” or “AT in preparation”, the remaining number of games in the “advantageous section” is not displayed. A configuration may be adopted (a disadvantage to the player that the remaining number of games in the “advantageous section” is subtracted in a relatively low profit state for the player is not notified). However, even in the case of such a configuration, it is preferable that the section indicator is lit to notify the player that the “advantageous section” is in progress. At the same time, it is preferable that the section indicator is configured to be controlled by the main control board M side, and that the section indicator is installed at a position where the display is easily visible to the player.

  Next, FIG. 65 is an operation diagram showing an example of an advantageous section indicator lighting timing of the swivel type gaming machine according to the present example. In the figure, in two consecutive games of the first game and the second game, the game section that was the “normal section” in the first game is changed to the “favorable section” in the second game. (For example, in the first game, the state related to AT is “AT precursor state”, and from the second game, the state related to AT shifts to “AT state”). The game is progressing in time series from the left side to the right side. In this example, the timing when the advantageous section indicator YH starts to light is the second game from the timing when the start lever D50 is operated (that is, the timing of 1) in the first game (normal section). In two games, the timing is one before the end of the wait state and the insertion of a game medal (that is, the timing of 7). In the case where the replay is stopped and displayed, the operation of the start lever D50 related to the second game as the next game is started from the timing when the start lever D50 is operated in the first game (that is, the timing of 1). The advantageous section indicator YH is turned on before the time becomes effective. In addition, if it is within this section, the timing for turning on the advantageous section indicator is not limited. For example, the timing at which the reel M50 starts rotating after the operation of the start lever D50 (that is, the timing of 2) is stopped. The timing when the button D40 is operated for the first stop (ie, timing 3), the timing when any of the stop buttons D40 is operated for the second stop (ie, timing 4), and the one of the stop buttons D40 is The advantageous section indicator is lit at the timing of the third stop operation (ie, timing 5), or when the game medal payout is started (ie, timing 6) due to the winning of a small role, etc. It is good.

Next, FIG. 66 is an example of a communication mode by the sub-control board S according to the spinning cylinder game machine of this example. First, the communication mode is defined as A. B. Communication target. Transmission / reception means (communication means), C.I. Transmission timing; The reception timing is classified and listed below.

  Hereinafter, specific examples of communication modes will be described. If an error occurs on the main control board M side of the spinning machine P, the store side can recognize the error from the external terminal via an external hall computer. When a command communication error or the like occurs on the board S side, the error cannot be detected from the main control board M side, so the sub control board S side can communicate with a communication means such as Wi-Fi communication. Thus, the error information may be transmitted to the portable terminal KP of the store-related person.

  When information is transmitted to the portable terminal KP or the like, the information transmission target may be different depending on the type of information. For example, if it is information related to the game of the revolving game machine P, it is information required by the player. On the other hand, if it is information related to the error of the revolving game machine P, it is necessary for a store official or the like. Information. In such a case, the communication means is configured so that it can be transmitted only to a specific target by, for example, pairing or other authentication means. On the other hand, for information that does not need to limit the target to be transmitted, Wi-Fi It is good also as a structure which can change a communication means by information so that it can transmit to all the members using etc.

  Next, FIG. 67 is a configuration list applicable to the gaming machine according to the present example. In the same table, the concept that can be realized in the gaming machine of this example, the type of combination of symbols, the element that determines the game profit to be given (game profit to be added), and the case of one-to-many correspondence Applicable configurations are listed for selection methods. Any of the configurations corresponding to “No.” in the figure can be applied to the gaming machine according to the present example. Further, there is no problem even if a configuration in which a plurality of “No.” is combined is applied. 1-23 and the same table No.1. Any of 24 to 30 may be combined.

  Further, when an error is reported on the sub-control board S, the player's portable terminal KP and the gaming machine may be configured to block the communication even during communication. With this configuration, it is possible to easily move the player away from the gaming machine, and when the store clerk handles an error, it is possible to prevent a situation in which the player cannot leave the gaming machine during communication. it can. On the other hand, the pairing may be retained when a recoverable error occurs during pairing, and the pairing may be discarded when a recoverable error occurs. Further, the fact that the gaming machine and the portable terminal KP are paired may always be displayed on the effect display device S40. In addition, when a player ends the game during pairing, another player can cancel the pairing by operating the sub input button SB.

  In the case of notifying an error on the sub control board S, (1) an error is detected on the main control board M → a command indicating an error is sent from the main control board M side to the sub control board S side → the sub control board S There are two cases: error notification based on the received command on the control board S side, and (2) error detection on the sub control board S side → notification based on the detected error on the sub control board S side.

  When the player moves out of the communication range while the gaming machine and the portable terminal KP are pairing, the portable terminal KP notifies the player that the distance from the gaming machine is out of the communication range. For example (for example, “connection is lost”). In addition, it can also be set as the structure which can receive and confirm game history information by the portable terminal KP always by pairing a game machine and the portable terminal KP. In this case, for example, by using an interface such as a dedicated application, setting estimation using a small role count (setting can be estimated by automatic calculation software by inputting a small role count result having a setting difference), “advantageous It is also possible to adopt a configuration in conjunction with software such as display of the number of games in the “section”, and the characters on the application growing in real time according to the number of games and the number of bonuses (BB and RB).

  In addition, when output from the portable terminal KP to the gaming machine is possible, for example, (1) the mobile terminal KP is notified on the screen of the gaming machine that an incoming call has arrived or an e-mail has arrived. ) It may be configured such that the effect customization (for example, volume setting or light amount setting) selected by the portable terminal KP can be directly reflected on the screen or the like (without inputting a password or the like). It should be noted that it is preferable that communication is made possible to notify a hall clerk or the like when it is determined that an error has occurred even when an error is notified and / or non-notified. If it is configured to enable communication that informs hall clerk etc. even if it is not informed, it is possible that, for example, a person who has caused an error with his own fraud I want to know information on whether or not an error has been detected by, but do not carry out fraudulent error notification, and communicate the fraudulent error information to the hall clerk so that it is easy to promptly arrest the criminal Can be configured. Here, regarding the error notification condition, when an error is detected on the main control board M, the error is notified on the sub control board S based on a command from the main control board M side to the sub control board S side. It may be configured. On the other hand, when an error is detected only on the sub-control board S side, it is possible to advance the game and notify the error.

<Other changes>
In this example, the first BB combination in which the first BB is executed by winning the prize and the second BB combination in which the second BB having lower profit than the first BB is executed by winning the prize are executed. Further, the first BB combination and the second BB combination may be won in duplicate (providing a combination of “first BB + second BB”). In such a configuration, when “first BB + second BB” is won, the symbol combination (first BB combination) corresponding to the execution of the highly profitable first BB can be stopped and displayed, and after the execution of the first BB is finished, The symbol combination corresponding to 2BB (second BB combination) may be displayed in a stopped state (the second BB is won even during execution of the first BB). In addition, when “1BB + 2BB” is won, by executing the highly profitable 1BB first, for example, when the closing time of the game hall is approaching, “1BB + 2BB” is won. In such a case, the second BB with low profit is executed first, the game hall is closed during the execution of the second BB, and the game must be terminated without executing the first BB with high profit. Can be prevented.

  After the operation of the first BB is completed, the winning configuration of the second BB may be notified immediately, or may be notified after being hidden (after a predetermined game has passed without notification). In such a case, it may be configured such that the winning probability of replay is increased in the incubation period after the operation of the first BB is completed. Moreover, you may comprise so that the production | presentation which suggests 2nd BB winning possibility may be performed when it is made to hide (for example, "BB consecutive resort chance time!" Is displayed on production display device S40). . In such a configuration, if there is no case where the second BB is not won after the end of the first BB, it will be definitive that the production occurrence = the second BB is won, so only the first BB is won. Even after the operation of the first BB is finished, it is preferable that the production suggesting the possibility of winning the second BB is executed (the production mode after the completion of the first BB is the same as described above. For example, “BB Renso Chance Time !!” is displayed on the effect display device S40). In addition, even when only the first BB is won, and after the operation of the first BB is finished, the first BB is won again, and the execution of the performance suggesting the possibility of winning the second BB is not stopped. May be. Further, once the winning of the second BB is notified, the winning of the first BB may be notified (for example, display of “BB consecutive resort chance time!” → display of “sorry” → “first” 1BB won !!!! ”). Furthermore, when the second BB is hidden after the first BB operation is completed after the first winning operation is completed during the AT, the effect display device S40 returns to the AT after the AT is being prepared, etc. However, the internal reduction in the number of remaining games may be continuously interrupted. When the first BB and the second BB are selected and won, the number of payouts from the start of the operation of the first BB to the end of the operation of the second BB may be accumulated and displayed on the effect display device S40 or the like.

In this example,
(1) When the first BB and the small combination A are won simultaneously, the first BB is given priority to stop control.
(2) When the first BB and the small combination B are won in duplicate, the small combination B is given priority to stop control.
That is, there may be provided a small combination for which stop control is given priority over the BB combination and a small combination for which stop control is given priority to the BB combination.
(3) When the first BB and the small role A are both won, when the small role A wins, or a part of the symbol combinations corresponding to the small role A (for example, at the first stop, When 2 stops), a notification corresponding to the small combination A (notification that the small combination A can win) is performed.
In other words, the result of the first stop or the second stop (the stop mode after the execution of the first stop or the second stop) is used to notify the first BB combination that is controlled to stop in preference to the small combination A. Thus, when the first BB combination cannot be won regardless of the position where the third stop is stopped (the small combination A can be won), a notification corresponding to the small combination A is performed. Further, when the small combination A wins as a result of the game, a notification corresponding to the small combination A is performed. By configuring in this way, it is possible to perform notification that is most advantageous to the player in accordance with various game situations that change in the middle of the game, as well as the content notified by the effect display device S40 and the like. It is possible to prevent the winning combination from being inconsistent.
(4) When the first BB and the small combination B are won in duplicate, a notification corresponding to the small combination B is performed during rotation of all reels.

  Moreover, you may comprise so that it may have a display (7 segment etc.) which displays the number of the symbol (or symbol combination) by which it stopped and is controlled by the main control board M. In such a configuration, the effect display device S40 performs a contradiction effect that does not correspond to the symbol (or symbol combination) that is stopped and displayed. For example, when the replay-replay-replay symbol combination is stopped on the active line, an effect that is highly likely to be output when the watermelon is won (for example, the lamp is lit in green) is executed.

In this example, an earphone jack that can output (cannot input) from the sub-control board S side may be provided, and a configuration having the following characteristics may be used.
(1) The volume output from the earphone jack can be selected from a plurality of levels by using the sub input button of the gaming machine.
(2) Even when a game is played using an earphone jack, when an error occurs, an error notification sound is output from the gaming machine at a predetermined volume (for example, output from a speaker provided in the gaming machine) ).
(3) When a game is played using the earphone jack, even when the maximum volume is selected, an error notification sound is output from the earphone jack at a predetermined volume that is not the maximum volume.

  Further, during the AT state or during BB execution, even when a game is played using an earphone jack, it may be configured such that a production sound is output from the gaming machine. Further, a volume for when the earphone jack is not used and a volume for when the earphone jack is not used may be stored separately. Even when the earphone is removed, the sound volume for when the earphone jack is used may not be cleared immediately (to the initial value). For example, when no operation is performed for 10 minutes, any volume may be cleared (to an initial value). However, when the earphone is still inserted, the sound volume for using the earphone jack does not have to be cleared (to the initial value). The earphone jack is preferably provided in a place where it does not interfere with the game (for example, when the earphone is inserted into the earphone jack, the earphone cord does not get entangled with the player's arm when trying to operate the start lever) ).

In this example,
(1) The winning probability of the re-gamer can be varied between the end of the BB when the BB is acquired at a specific number or more and the end of the BB when the BB is acquired at a specific number or less. It may be configured.
(2) You may have two or more RT states which transfer when RT state (for example, RT3) with a relatively high winning probability of a re-game player is complete | finished. For example, it may be configured to shift to “RT3” after completion of “RT2”.
(3) The RT state is shifted when a predetermined winning combination is won. That is, the transition of the RT state does not correspond to the winning one-on-one, and the transition is made with a constant probability regardless of the condition device or the winning (for example, the RT transition lottery is executed with a certain probability for each game).
(4) It is possible to mount 0th RT transition, duplicate winning combination of 0 sheets, and double winning combination of 0 sheets. That is, no matter which push order is stopped, no matter what position the stop operation is performed, no more than one winning combination is provided as a 0 winning combination, and the RT state shifts by winning the 0 winning combination. It may be configured to be able to obtain a double winning combination of 0 and 7 and a winning combination of 0 and A. It should be noted that, when the double winning combination of the 0 sheets is selected, it may be configured such that either the 0 sheet combination that shifts to RT or the 0 sheet combination that does not shift to RT is awarded according to the pressing order. It is also possible to make a winning combination by prioritizing the 0-sheet combination by winning the 0-sheet combination and the BB combination.

  Here, the feature point about the above-mentioned game section is explained in full detail below.

≪Normal section≫
(1) Push order navigation is not displayed on the push order display device D270.
(2) Push order navigation is not displayed on the effect display device S40.
(3) A command (signal) related to a condition device that causes a difference in the profit rate of the player depending on the pushing order is not transmitted from the main control board M side to the sub control board S side.
(4) The lottery for shifting to the “advantageous section” can be executed except during the internal winning of BB and the execution of BB.

≪Standby section≫
(1) Push order navigation is not displayed on the push order display device D270.
(2) Push order navigation is not displayed on the effect display device S40.
(3) A command (signal) related to a condition device that causes a difference in the profit rate of the player depending on the pushing order is not transmitted from the main control board M side to the sub control board S side.
(4) The lottery for the “advantageous section” is not executed.
(5) After the BB wins in the “standby state”, it becomes an “advantageous section” from the next game.

≪Advantageous section≫
(1) Push order navigation can be displayed on the push order display device D270.
(2) Push order navigation can be displayed on the effect display device S40.
(3) A command (signal) related to a condition device that causes a difference in the profit rate of the player depending on the pressing order can be transmitted from the main control board M side to the sub control board S side.
(4) A lottery for changing the performance of the “advantageous section” (for example, shifting from a “high probability state” to an “AT in-progress state” as an AT-related state), an AT game number addition lottery, or the like may be executed.
(5) During the “favorable section”, the advantageous section indicator YH is always lit.
(6) If the counter value of the advantageous section remaining game number counter YKc-1 becomes 0, the “advantageous section” is basically used unless the BB or push order navigation is executed at least once in the “advantageous section”. However, as an exception, when the “advantageous section” continues for a predetermined number of games (1500 in this example), the BB and the push order navigation are performed once in the “advantageous section”. The “advantageous section” can be completed even if it is not executed.
(7) The advantageous section remaining game number counter YKc-1 is measured in all the games in the "favorable section" (for example, every game counter value is added even during execution of BB).

Here, the characteristic points related to the lottery for shifting to the “advantageous section” will be described in detail below.
(1) The presence / absence of the transition to the “advantageous section” is determined based on the result of the lottery, and the presence / absence of the transition to the “advantageous section” is not determined in the course of the number of games.
(2) When a condition device having different lottery probabilities depending on the set value is established, the lottery for shifting to the “advantageous section” is not executed when the condition device is established.
(3) In the case where a certain condition device is established and the lottery for shifting to the “advantageous section” is executed, the lottery probabilities are the same even if the set values are different.
(4) The performance of the “advantageous section” does not differ depending on the set value (for example, when a strong cherry is established, the setting 1 shifts to the “high probability state”, and the setting 6 shifts to the “AT state”. Etc., there is no difference depending on the setting value).
(5) Transition to “advantageous section” When winning the lottery, the next game is basically changed to “advantageous section” (transition to “advantageous section” in the BB role established in “normal section”) If a lottery is won, it can be set as a “standby section” in the next game).

Here, the characteristic points related to the performance change of the “advantageous section” will be described in detail below.
(1) The lottery for changing the performance of the “advantageous section” with reference to the set value is not executed (the condition common to all the set values may be that a predetermined number of games have elapsed and a predetermined condition device is established) .
(2) When a condition device having different lottery probabilities is established depending on the set value, the lottery for changing the performance of the “advantageous section” is not executed when the condition device is established. A lottery or the like is not executed in addition to the number of AT games.
(3) When the BB is won internally, the lottery for changing the performance of the “advantageous section” is not executed. A lottery or the like is not executed in addition to the number of AT games.
(4) During the execution of the BB, when the lottery probability of the BB combination that triggered the BB being executed differs depending on the set value, the lottery for changing the performance of the “advantageous section” during the execution of the BB Is not executed. A lottery or the like is not executed in addition to the number of AT games.
(5) A lottery that changes the performance of the “advantageous section” during the execution of the BB when the lottery probability of the BB combination that has triggered the BB being executed does not differ depending on the set value during the execution of the BB. Can be executed. A lottery or the like can be executed by adding the number of AT games.
