It is defined as.

  Further, in this embodiment, as a winning combination, a winning combination is obtained when a predetermined symbol combination (for example, “Bell-Watermelon-Cherry b”) determined as a winning combination in the winning line LN is prepared, and the predetermined symbol is also obtained. When the combinations are aligned, any of the invalid lines LM1 to LM4 has a combination of symbols (for example, “watermelon-watermelon-watermelon”) that serves as an index that is easier to recognize than the predetermined symbol combination. The combination which can be shown as having won a prize by the combination of the symbols arranged in any of the above is included. Hereinafter, a combination of symbols that is aligned with any of the invalid lines LM1 to LM4 when a predetermined symbol combination is aligned with the winning line LN is referred to as a symbol combination serving as an index, and constitutes a symbol combination serving as an index. The symbol is called an index symbol.

  When the start switch 7 is operated in a state where the game can be started, the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R rotate, and the symbols of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R continuously vary. When any one of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R is operated in this state, the rotation of the corresponding reels 2L, 2C, 2R is stopped, and the display result is derived and displayed on the fluoroscopic window 3.

  Then, when all the reels 2L, 2C, 2R are stopped, one game is completed, and a predetermined symbol combination (hereinafter also referred to as a winning combination) is displayed on the reels 2L, 2C, 2R on the winning line LN. If the game stops as a result, a winning occurs, and a predetermined number of medals are given to the player and added to the credit. Further, when the credit reaches the upper limit number (50 in this embodiment), medals are paid out directly from the medal payout opening 9 (see FIG. 1). In addition, when the combination of symbols accompanying the transition of the gaming state on the winning line LN is stopped as a display result of each reel 2L, 2C, 2R, the gaming state according to the combination of symbols is shifted. .

  In this embodiment, the game starts when the operation of the start switch 7 is detected in a state where the operation of the start switch 7 is valid, and the game ends when all the reels are stopped. Further, one unit of control (game control) for executing a game starts when all the controls associated with the end of the previous game are completed, and when all the controls associated with the end of the game are completed. finish.

  In this embodiment, a configuration using three reels is illustrated, but a configuration using only one reel, a configuration using two reels, a configuration using four or more reels may be used. In the configuration using two or more reels, a winning determination may be made based on a combination of display results derived for all two or more reels. In this embodiment, the variable display device is configured by physical reels. However, the variable display device may be configured by an image display device such as a liquid crystal display.

  In the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, after the game is started and the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R are rotated and the symbols start to change, any one of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R is operated. When this is done, the rotation of the reels corresponding to the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R is stopped, and the symbols are stopped and displayed. The maximum stop delay time from the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R to the stop of the rotation of the corresponding reels 2L, 2C, 2R is 190 ms (milliseconds).

  The reels 2L, 2C and 2R rotate 80 times per minute, and 80 × 21 (the number of symbols per reel) = 1680 frames, so the maximum of 4 symbols is drawn in 190 ms. Will be able to. In other words, the symbols that can be selected as the stop symbols are the symbols that are displayed when the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are operated, and the symbols that are four frames ahead of them, for a total of five symbols.

  For this reason, for example, when any one of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R is operated and the symbol displayed on the lower stage of the reel corresponding to the stop switch is used as a reference, the symbol from the symbol to four frames ahead is used. Since the symbols can be displayed in the lower row, in each of the reels 2L, 2C, 2R, when any one of the stop switches 8L, 8R is operated, the symbol displayed in the middle row of the reel corresponding to the stop switch. The symbols arranged within 5 frames including can be displayed on the winning line.

  FIG. 5 shows a configuration example of the main control unit 41 mounted on the game control board 40. The main control unit 41 is a one-chip microcomputer, and includes an external bus interface 501, a clock circuit 502, a verification block 503, a specific information storage circuit 504, an arithmetic circuit 505, a reset / interrupt controller 506, CPU (Central Processing Unit) 41a, ROM (Read Only Memory) 41b, RAM (Random Access Memory) 41c, free-run counter circuit 507, random number circuits 508a and 508b, timer circuit 509, interrupt controller 510 A parallel input port 511, a serial communication circuit 512, a parallel output port 513, and an address decoding circuit 514.

  The reset / interrupt controller 506 is for controlling various resets and interrupt requests generated inside or outside the main control unit 41. The reset / interrupt controller 506 includes an out-of-designated area prohibition (IAT) circuit 506a and a watchdog timer (WDT) 506b. The IAT circuit 506a is a circuit that monitors whether the user program is correctly executed in the designated area, and has a function of outputting an IAT generation signal when it is detected that the user program is executed outside the designated area. The watchdog timer 506b has a function of generating a timeout signal for each set period.

  The external bus interface 501 is a bus interface having an interface function between an external bus and an internal bus of a chip constituting the main control unit 41, an address bus, a data bus, and a direction control function of each control signal. The clock circuit 502 is a circuit that generates the internal system clock SCLK by, for example, dividing the control clock CCLK by two. The verification block 503 is connected to an external verification machine and has a function of performing chip verification. The unique information storage circuit 504 is a circuit that stores a plurality of types of unique information that is internal information of the main control unit 41. The arithmetic circuit 505 is a circuit that performs multiplication and division.

  The CPU 41a is a control CPU that executes game control in the slot machine 1 by executing a user program (game control processing program for game control) based on the control code read from the ROM 41b. When such game control is executed, the CPU 41a reads fixed data from the ROM 41b, the variable data writing operation in which the CPU 41a writes various fluctuation data to the RAM 41c and temporarily stores them, and the CPU 41a is temporarily stored in the RAM 41c. A variable data reading operation for reading out various variable data being received, a receiving operation in which the CPU 41a receives input of various signals from the outside of the main control unit 41 via the external bus interface 501, the parallel input port 511, the serial communication circuit 512, etc. However, a transmission operation for outputting various signals to the outside of the main control unit 41 via the external bus interface 501, the serial communication circuit 512, the parallel output port 513, and the like is also performed.

  The ROM 41b stores a control code indicating a user program (game control processing program for game control), fixed data, and the like. The RAM 41c provides a work area for game control. Here, at least a part of the RAM 41c may be a backup RAM backed up by a backup power source. That is, even if the power supply to the slot machine 1 is stopped, at least a part of the contents of the RAM 41c is stored for a predetermined period.

  As the free-run counter circuit 507, an 8-bit free-run counter is mounted. The random number circuits 508a and 508b are circuits that generate numerical data that is a random value having a predetermined update range, such as an 8-bit random number or a 16-bit random number. In this embodiment, the hardware random number generated by the 16-bit random number circuit 508b among the random number circuits 508a and 508b is used as a random number for internal lottery described later. The timer circuit 509 is a 16-bit programmable timer, counts down the set timer value based on the input of the control clock CCLK, and outputs an interrupt request signal to the interrupt controller when reaching 0000H. In this embodiment, the timer circuit 509 can be used to perform periodic interrupt requests and time measurement.

  The interrupt controller 510 is a circuit that controls external interrupt requests from interrupt terminals and interrupt requests from built-in peripheral circuits (for example, serial communication circuit 512, random number circuits 508a and 508b, timer circuit 509). . The parallel input port 511 incorporates an 8-bit wide input-only port. Also, the parallel output port 513 provided in the main control unit 41 shown in FIG. 4 incorporates an output-only port having an 11-bit width. The serial communication circuit 512 is a circuit that performs asynchronous serial communication in input / output with respect to the outside.

  The address decoding circuit 514 is a circuit for decoding each functional block in the main control unit 41 and a chip select signal that is a decoding signal for an external device. In response to the chip select signal, the internal circuit of the main control unit 41 or the external device serving as a peripheral device is selectively operated effectively and can be accessed from the CPU 41a.

  For example, when the main control unit 41 accesses an area of the storage area of the ROM 41b where no program or the like is stored, the main control section 41 accesses an area of the storage area of the RAM 41c where access is prohibited. In other words, when an access to a memory area that is not accessed in normal operation is made, an illegal access reset is generated to disable the progress of the game. Even if an unauthorized program is stored in an area unrelated to the above, an unused area of the RAM 41c, etc., it is possible to prevent the unauthorized program from being executed.

  The main control unit 41 is activated when an internal or external reset occurs. At this time, the value assigned to the ROM 41b and set in the vector table in which the start address of the interrupt process is set. Is a value indicating unused or a value indicating the area where the program etc. is actually stored, and if it is not any value, it will not start, It is possible to prevent in advance the processing that was not originally intended due to the occurrence or the like.

  The main control unit 41 transmits various commands to the sub control unit 91 via the parallel output port 513. A command transmitted from the main control unit 41 to the sub control unit 91 is sent in only one direction, and no command is sent from the sub control unit 91 toward the main control unit 41. In this embodiment, the command is transmitted to the sub-control unit 91 via the parallel output port 513, that is, the command is transmitted as a parallel signal, but via the serial communication circuit 512. A configuration in which a command is transmitted to the sub-control unit 91, that is, a configuration in which the command is transmitted as a serial signal may be employed.

  The main control unit 41 also receives detection states of various switches connected to the game control board 40 from the parallel input port 511. The main control unit 41 executes main processing that shifts in stages according to the detection states of various switches input from the parallel input port 511. Also, the main control unit 41 can execute the interrupt process by interrupting the main process when an interrupt occurs. In the present embodiment, a timer interrupt process (main) is executed every time a time-out occurs in the timer circuit 509, that is, every fixed time interval (about 0.56 ms in the present embodiment). In addition, the main control unit 41 is set to automatically prohibit other interrupts during execution of the interrupt process, and when a plurality of interrupts occur at the same time, a predetermined order is set. The interrupt to be executed with priority is set by. If another interrupt factor occurs during the execution of the interrupt process and the interrupt factor continues even after the interrupt process ends, the interrupt will occur when the interrupt process ends. The prohibition is automatically released and a new interrupt is generated at that time. Note that other interrupts are set to be automatically disabled during the execution of interrupt processing, and interrupt processing is not automatically canceled when interrupt processing is completed. Other interrupts may be prohibited by the program at the start, and the interrupt prohibition may be canceled by the program at the end of the interrupt process.

  The main control unit 41 repeatedly loops the process according to the control state until the detection state of the various switches connected to the game control board 40 changes as the main process, and changes the detection state of the various switches. Execute a process that moves in stages. Further, the main control unit 41 executes a timer interrupt process (main) at regular time intervals (about 0.56 ms in this embodiment). Note that the execution interval of the timer interrupt process (main) is set to a time longer than the sum of the time taken to repeat the process repeated in accordance with the control state in the main process and the execution time of the timer interrupt process (main) Therefore, the process that is repeated according to the control state between the current and next timer interrupt processes (main) is completed at least once.

  An effect switch 56 is connected to the effect control board 90, and a detection signal of the effect switch 56 is input. In addition, presentation devices such as a liquid crystal display 51, presentation effect LEDs 52, speakers 53 and 54, and reel LEDs 55 are connected, and these presentation devices are controlled by a later-described sub-control unit 91 mounted on the presentation control board 90. It is driven based on this. In this embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 mounted on the effect control board 90 controls the output of the effect devices such as the liquid crystal display 51, effect effect LED 52, speakers 53 and 54, and reel LED 55. However, in addition to the sub-control unit 91, an output control unit that directly controls the output of the effect device is mounted on the effect control board 90 or another board, and the sub-control unit 91 is based on a command from the main control unit 41. The output control unit may determine the output pattern of the effect device, and the output control unit may control the output of the effect device based on the output pattern determined by the sub control unit 91. In such a configuration, the sub control unit 91 and the output control may be performed. The output control of the rendering device is performed by both of the units. Further, in the present embodiment, the liquid crystal display 51, the effect effect LED 52, the speakers 53 and 54, and the reel LED 55 are exemplified as the effect device, but the effect device is not limited to these, for example, a mechanically driven display. A device or a mechanically driven item may be applied as the effect device.

  The effect control board 90 is composed of a microcomputer having a sub CPU 91a, ROM 91b, RAM 91c, and I / O port 91d, and a sub control unit 91 for controlling the effect, and a liquid crystal display 51 connected to the effect control board 90. A display control circuit 92 for performing display control, an effect effect LED 52, an LED drive circuit 93 for controlling drive of the reel LED 55, a sound output circuit 94 for controlling sound output from the speakers 53, 54, A reset circuit 95 for providing a reset signal to the sub CPU 91a when an initialization command from the sub CPU 91a is not input for a certain period of time; a switch detection circuit 96 for detecting a detection signal input from switches connected to the effect control board 90; A clock device 97 for outputting time information including date information and time information; A power interruption detection circuit 98 that monitors the power supply voltage supplied to the lot machine 1 and outputs a voltage drop signal indicating that to the sub CPU 91a when a voltage drop is detected, and other circuits are mounted. Has been.

  Sub CPU91a receives the command transmitted from game control board 40, performs various control for performing an effect, and controls each part of the control circuit mounted in effect control board 90 directly or indirectly. .

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

  Similar to the main control unit 41, the sub control unit 91 has an interrupt function, generates an interrupt when receiving a command from the main control unit 41, and acquires a command transmitted from the main control unit 41. Execute command reception interrupt processing to be stored in the buffer. Further, the sub control unit 91 executes an interrupt process (sub), which will be described later, by generating an interrupt every time the input number of system clocks reaches a certain number, that is, every certain time interval (about 2 ms). Also, unlike the main control unit 41, the sub control unit 91 interrupts the process even when the timer interrupt process (sub) is being executed when an interrupt is generated based on the reception of the command. The command reception interrupt process is executed at the same time, and the command reception interrupt process is executed with the highest priority even if interrupts that trigger the timer interrupt process (sub) occur at the same time. The sub-control unit 91 is also supplied with backup power at the time of a power failure, and the data stored in the RAM 91c is held while the backup power is supplied.

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

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

  Note that when the setting key switch 37 is turned on and the power is turned on, the door opening detection switch 25 detects that the front door 1b is opened, and the configuration shifts to the setting change state. Well, by adopting such a configuration, it is possible to prevent unauthorized setting changes in a state where the front door 1b is not opened. Further, in the configuration that shifts to the setting change state on the condition that the detection corresponding to the opening of the front door 1b is performed, the door opening detection switch 25 supports the opening of the front door 1b after shifting to the setting change state. Even if the detection is not detected, it is preferable to maintain the setting change state. Thus, even if the front door 1b is temporarily closed during the setting change, an operation for shifting to the setting change state is performed again. This is not necessary, and the setting change operation is not complicated. Further, after the transition to the setting change state, when the setting value is determined by operating the start switch 7 and then the setting key switch 37 is turned off, the door opening detection switch 25 detects that the front door 1b is opened. On the condition that the setting change state is terminated, it may be configured to shift to a state in which the game can proceed. Even in such a configuration, the front door 1b is not opened in an unauthorized manner. It is possible to prevent the setting from being changed.

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

  It should be noted that, after the game is over, when the setting key switch 37 is turned on with no bet number set, the door opening detection switch 25 detects that the front door 1b has been opened. In addition, a configuration for shifting to the setting confirmation state may be adopted. By adopting such a configuration, it is possible to prevent the setting value from being illegally confirmed without the front door 1b being opened. In addition, in the configuration that shifts to the setting confirmation state on the condition that the detection corresponding to the opening of the front door 1b is performed, the door opening detection switch 25 supports the opening of the front door 1b after the transition to the setting confirmation state. It is preferable to maintain the setting confirmation state even if the detection to be performed is not performed. Thus, even if the front door 1b is temporarily closed during the setting confirmation, an operation for shifting to the setting confirmation state again is performed. This is not necessary and the setting confirmation operation is not complicated. In addition, after shifting to the setting confirmation state, when the set key switch 37 is turned off after the start switch 7 is operated and the set value is confirmed, the door opening detection switch 25 detects that the front door 1b is opened. On the condition that the setting confirmation state is terminated, it may be configured to return to a state in which the game can proceed, and even in such a configuration, the front door 1b is not opened in an unauthorized manner. It is possible to prevent the setting value from being confirmed.

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

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

  The error state shifts to a normal error state that is canceled by a reset operation (operation of the reset / setting switch 38 or the reset switch 23) and the setting change state described above, and is canceled until a new setting value is set. Special error status with no error, the RAM abnormal error status is a special error status, and once it is controlled to the RAM abnormal error status, it shifts to the setting change status and is released until a new set value is set. It will not be done.

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

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

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

  Next, initialization of the RAM 41c of the main control unit 41 will be described. The usable area in the storage area of the RAM 41c of the main control unit 41 is divided into a game RAM area, an unused area 4, and a non-game RAM area. Further, the game RAM area is divided into a special work, an important work, a general work, an unused area 3 and a game stack area. The special work is a work that stores data that is not initialized even if the setting value is changed, and stores software random numbers, setting values, data indicating a gaming state, and the like. The important work is a work in which data which is inconvenient if it is initialized at the end of a specific gaming state (RB, BB) is stored. The display data of the LED, the input / output data of the input port, the output port, the game time A time counter and the like are stored. The general work is a work that stores data that can be initialized at the end of a specific gaming state, and stores stop symbols, the number of medals to be paid out, and the like. The unused area 3 is a work that is not used by any program. The game stack area is an area in which data saved from a register of the main control unit 41 during execution of a game program to be described later is stored.

  In this embodiment, the main control unit 41 has the data in the RAM 41c when the setting key switch 37 is ON and the data in the RAM 41c is destroyed when the setting key switch 37 is ON. Each of the initial conditions is established when the five initialization conditions are satisfied, that is, when the setting change state is terminated, when a specific game state (RB, BB) is terminated, or when one game is terminated. Five types of initialization are performed in different areas to be initialized according to the initialization conditions.

  Initialization 0 is initialization that is performed when data in the RAM 41c is destroyed when the setting key switch 37 is turned on. In initialization 0, all the usable areas are initialized. . Initialization 1 is initialization that is performed when data in the RAM 41c is not destroyed at the time of startup with the setting key switch 37 being ON. In the initialization 1, an area other than the special work in the game RAM area is not All areas of the game RAM area are initialized. Initialization 2 is initialization that is performed after the setting change state is completed by starting with the setting key switch 37 being ON. In initialization 2, special work and game stack areas (in use) in the game RAM area are used. Areas other than) are initialized. Initialization 3 is initialization performed at the end of a specific gaming state. In initialization 3, the general work, the unused area 3 and the game stack area (unused) in the game RAM area are initialized. Initialization 4 is initialization performed at the end of one game. In initialization 4, the unused area 3 and the game stack area (unused) of the game RAM area are initialized. The storage area for the data indicating the set value and the game state is allocated to the special work, and when the data in the RAM 41c is not destroyed at the time of startup with the setting key switch 37 being ON, that is, the data in the RAM 41c. When the game is normal and the setting is changed, data indicating the setting value and the gaming state is held. In addition, a storage area for a timer counter, which will be described later, is allocated to an important work and is retained without being initialized at the end of the game or at the end of a specific gaming state.

  Further, the main control unit 41 of the present embodiment, when performing the above-described initialization, designates a start address and an end address as the initialization target RAM address, so that one byte from the designated start address. After overwriting the data with 0, calculate the logical sum of the 1-byte data, and if the calculation result is 0, repeat the process of moving to the next address until the specified end address is reached. Initialize the RAM area in the specified address range.

  When the main control unit 41 in the present embodiment is activated due to the occurrence of a reset, the main control unit 41 performs setting at the time of activation. In the startup setting, a status flag included in the main control unit 41 is initialized. The status flag is data that holds the state of the operation result and execution result of the instruction, and particularly includes an interrupt master permission flag for setting interrupt prohibition / permission. Since the initial value of the interrupt master permission flag is a value indicating prohibition of interrupt, the main control unit 41 is started in a state where interrupt is prohibited. Then, after setting various functions with reference to the HW parameters described later, when a reset occurs according to the program stored in the program / data area, it starts in an interrupt-disabled state and then executes first Start the initial setting process.

  In the initial setting process, the main control unit 41 first sets interrupts to be prohibited, and then determines whether or not the setting key switch 37 is in an ON state at startup, and the setting key switch 37 is ON in startup. When it is determined that the state is in the state, the process proceeds to the setting change process, and the RAM 41c is initialized at the start of the setting change process. At this time, if the data in the RAM 41c is normal, a part of the control state (setting value, gaming state, etc.) before the change is changed after the setting change by holding the special work and initializing other areas. On the other hand, if the data in the RAM 41c is not normal, the abnormality in the data in the RAM 41c can be surely solved by initializing all the usable areas including the special work. It has become.

  After initialization of the RAM 41c, the interrupt is set to be permitted, the set value is updated by 1 in the range of 1 to 6 every time the reset / setting switch 38 is operated, and after the start switch 7 is detected ON, The setting value when the setting key switch 37 is detected ON is stored in the RAM 41c, and the setting change process is terminated.

  As described above, the main control unit 41 starts with the interrupt master permission flag indicating that the interrupt is prohibited and is disabled, and in the initial setting process after the start, Since the initial setting process is executed after the interruption is set to be prohibited, it is possible to prevent an unintended interruption from occurring.

  Moreover, the main control part 41 performs the main process which processes in steps according to progress of a game for every game unit after completion | finish of a setting change process. In the main process, the RAM 41c is initialized for each game unit, and the RAM 41c is also initialized at the end of the setting change process. Then, after the setting change process is completed, the main process is started from a stage before the process of initializing the RAM 41c in the main process. It is possible to perform initialization of the RAM 41c for each process by common processing.

  In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, a specified number of bets that can be set according to the gaming state (RT0 to RT4, RB) (in this embodiment, 3 for RT0-4 and 2 for RB) is determined. Thus, the game can be started on condition that a prescribed number of bets determined according to the gaming state are set. In the present embodiment, the winning line LN is activated when a specified number of bets according to the gaming state are set.

  In this embodiment, when all the reels 2L, 2C, 2R are stopped, the activated pay line is activated (in the present embodiment, all the pay lines are always activated. A winning combination is obtained when a combination of symbols called “combinations” is arranged on the winning line. The combination may be a combination of the same symbols or a combination including different symbols.

  The type of winning combination is determined according to the game state, but it can be roughly divided into a small role with payout of medals and a replay that can start the next game without the need to set the number of bets. There are a game combination and a special combination with a transition to a game state advantageous to the player. Below, a small role and a re-playing role are collectively called a general role. In order for winning of each combination determined according to the gaming state to occur, it is necessary to win an internal lottery to be described later and set a winning flag of the combination in the RAM 41c. Of the winning flags for each of these combinations, the winning flag for the small role and the re-playing role is valid only in the game in which the flag is set, and is invalid in the next game. It is valid until a combination of combinations permitted by the flag is completed, and is invalid in a game having a combination of combinations permitted. In other words, once the special combination winning flag is won, even if the combination of the combinations permitted by the flag cannot be made, the winning flag is not invalidated and is carried over to the next game. It becomes.

  Hereinafter, the internal lottery of the present embodiment will be described. In the internal lottery, whether or not the main control unit 41 allows the winning of each combination described above before the display results of all the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R are derived (specifically, the start switch 7 At the time of detection). In the internal lottery, first, a random value for internal lottery (an integer from 0 to 65535) is acquired when the start switch 7 is detected. Specifically, the value generated by the random number circuit 508b and stored in the random number value register of the random number circuit 508b is set as the lottery work assigned to the RAM 41c. And, for each combination determined according to the gaming state (RT0-4, RB), each combination determined according to the numerical data stored in the lottery work, the current gaming state, the number of bets and the set value Whether or not winning is permitted is determined according to the number of determination values.

  In the internal lottery, the number of judgment values determined in accordance with the internal lottery target, the current gaming state, and the set value are sequentially assigned to the random number for internal lottery (numerical data stored in the lottery work). When the result of addition overflows, it is determined that the winning combination is won. For this reason, a winning combination will be won with a probability (number of determination values / 65536) according to the number of determination values.

  Then, a winning number indicating the result of the internal lottery is set in the RAM 41c. The winning number is used for setting of an internal winning flag, navigation notification, command creation, reel 2L, 2C, 2R stop control, and the like.

  When a winning combination is determined, a winning flag corresponding to the winning combination determined based on the winning number is set in the internal winning flag storing work assigned to the RAM 41c. The internal winning flag storage work consists of a 2-byte storage area, of which the upper byte is assigned as the special role storing work in which the winning flag for the special role is set, and the lower byte is the winning of the general role It is assigned as a general role storage work for which a flag is set. Specifically, when a special role is elected, the special role winning flag indicating that the special role is elected is set in the special role storing work, and when the general role is elected, the general role is elected. The winning combination flag indicating the general role is set in the general role storing work. If no winning combination or combination of winning combinations is won, the special combination storing work and the general combination storing work are cleared.

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

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

  In this embodiment, if any of the winning combinations is won, when the stop operation is performed, the winning combination can be stopped on the winning line within a drawing range of up to four frames. If possible, control is performed to align and stop, and the winning combination that has not been won is controlled to be stopped without being aligned in the drawing range of a maximum of 4 frames. When a special role and a small role are elected at the same time, such as when a special role is elected while the special role has been carried over from before the previous game, the maximum on the winning line when the stop operation is performed If it is possible to align and stop the winning roles in the 4-frame pull-in range, control will be performed to align them and stop them, and the winning roles will be selected on the winning line within the maximum 4-frame pull-in range. If it is not possible to withdraw, if a special role that has been elected within the draw range of up to 4 frames can be aligned and stopped on the winning line, it will be controlled and stopped. Control to stop without aligning in the drawing range of 4 frames will be performed. That is, in such a case, priority is given to the control for aligning the small combination on the winning line over the special combination, and the special combination can be won only when the small combination cannot be drawn. In the case where a special combination and a small combination can be withdrawn at the same time, only the small combination is drawn, and the small combination is not aligned on the winning line at the same time as the special combination. Also, when a special role and a small role are elected at the same time, priority is given to the control of aligning the special role on the winning line over the small role, and only when the special role cannot be drawn, the small role is placed on the winning line. You may perform control to align.

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

  In this embodiment, the reel stop control is performed by using a stop control table that can specify the number of sliding frames for each timing at which the stop operation is performed. A configuration that performs stop control by specifying the stop position from the table and stopping the reel at the specified stop position, and searching for a stop position that can be stopped when the stop operation is performed without using the stop control table or the stop position table. A configuration that performs stop control that identifies and stops the reel at the specified stop position, stop control using the stop control table, stop control using the stop position table, and can be stopped without using the stop control table or the stop position table A configuration that uses stop control by searching and specifying the stop position together, and a configuration that performs stop control by partially changing the stop control table and stop position table. It may be.

  In the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 measures the game time, which is the time elapsed from the start of the reel rotation every time the reel starts rotating after the game starts. After a game is over, when a specified number of bets are set by inserting medals, etc., and the game start operation is enabled, the reel start of the previous game is started. If the game time that has started counting from the time is more than the specified time (4.1 seconds in this embodiment), that is, if the specified time has elapsed since the reel rotation start time of the previous game, no wait is generated. At that time, the reel for the game in the game is started to rotate. On the other hand, after the end of one game, when a predetermined number of bets are set by inserting medals, etc., and when the game start operation is enabled, the reel rotation of the previous game is started. If the game time that started timing from the time is less than the specified time, that is, if the specified time has not elapsed since the reel rotation start time of the previous game, a wait is generated and the reel rotation is started at that time. First, it waits until the game time that has started timing from the reel rotation start time of the previous game reaches the specified time, and starts rotating the reel when it reaches the specified time.

  In the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 performs control to output an external output signal indicating a gaming state, an error occurrence state, and the like. These external output signals are output to a hall device such as a hall computer via the information output terminal board of the game shop (hall) where the external output board 1000 and the slot machine 1 are installed.

  The main control unit 41 has a medal IN signal indicating the number of medals used for setting the number of bets, a medal OUT signal indicating the number of medals awarded to the player due to the occurrence of winning, and the gaming state is RB (regular bonus). RB signal indicating the effect, BB signal indicating that the gaming state is BB (big bonus), an ART signal indicating the start of ART described later, a door opening signal indicating that the front door 1b is open, described later A setting change signal indicating the transition to the setting change mode, an insertion error signal indicating an abnormality of the medal selector, and a payout error signal indicating an abnormality of the hopper unit 34 are output.

  The external output board 1000 is provided with a relay circuit, a parallel / serial conversion circuit, a terminal for each output signal, and a connector to be electrically connected to the circuit of the information providing terminal board. Of the signals output from the game control board 40, the medal IN signal, the medal OUT signal, the RB signal, the BB signal, and the ART signal are directly output as pulse signals to the information providing terminal board via the relay circuit. . On the other hand, the door opening signal, setting change signal, input error signal, and payout error signal are converted into security signals, which are serial signals that can be individually identified by the parallel-serial conversion circuit, and information is provided. Output to the terminal board.

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

  In the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 sends an input number command, a credit command, a gaming state command, an ART state command, an internal winning command, a push order command, a freeze command, an ART lottery result command to the sub-control unit 91. Reel acceleration information command, stop operation command, sliding frame number command, stop command, game end command, winning judgment command, payout start command, payout end command, standby command, stop command, error command, return command, setting command, A plurality of types of commands including a setting confirmation command, a door command, and an operation detection command are transmitted. These commands consist of 1-byte type data indicating the command type and 1-byte extension data indicating the command content, and the sub-control unit 91 can determine the command type from the type data.

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

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

  The ART state command is a command that can specify whether it is AT, whether it is ART, the number of remaining games until the specified number of games to be described later, the number of remaining games in the precursor period, and the number of remaining games of ART. When the game starts, it is transmitted after the game state command.

  The internal winning command is a command that can specify the internal lottery result, and is transmitted when the start switch 7 is operated and the game starts, and is transmitted after the ART state command. The internal winning command includes a first internal winning command that can specify whether or not the special combination is won, and a second internal winning command that can specify whether or not the general combination is won, After the first internal winning command is transmitted, the second internal winning command is transmitted.

  The push order command is a command that can specify the stop order, and is when the start switch 7 is operated and the game is started, after the internal winning command is transmitted, and with the stop operation of each reel Each time control is performed, it is transmitted after a stop command is transmitted. In a game in which navigation notification described later is executed, a push order command that can specify a stop order advantageous to the player is transmitted from the start of the game, and in a game in which navigation notification described later is not executed, Until the order is determined, a push order command that cannot specify a stop order advantageous to the player is transmitted, and after a favorable stop order is determined, a push order command that can specify a stop order advantageous to the player is transmitted The

  Since the game state command, the ART state command, and the internal winning command are transmitted when the start switch 7 is operated and the game starts, the game is started by operating the start switch 7 by receiving these commands. Can be specified.

  The freeze command is a command that can specify whether the game is controlled to a freeze state that delays the progress of the game for a predetermined period of time, or if it is controlled to the freeze state, and when the game starts And transmitted after the internal winning command is transmitted.

  The ART lottery result command is a command that can specify whether or not an ART lottery or an additional lottery to be described later is won, the number of games of the winning ART or the number of games to be added, and when the game starts, It is transmitted after the internal winning command is transmitted in the game in which the lottery or the extra lottery is performed.

  The reel acceleration information command is a command that can specify that the rotation of the reel starts with the progress of the game, and is transmitted when the rotation of the reel starts with the progress of the game. It is also transmitted when the reel starts to rotate with the end of the freeze state. Therefore, after the start of the freeze state is specified by the freeze command, the reel acceleration information command is received and the game progresses. Not only the fact that the rotation of the reel starts but also the end of the freeze state can be specified.

  The stop operation command is a command that can specify whether the reel to be stopped is the left reel, the middle reel, or the right reel, and the area number of the stop operation position of the corresponding reel. Sent every time the accompanying stop control is performed.

  The sliding frame number command is a command that can specify whether the reel to be stopped is a left reel, a middle reel, or a right reel, and the number of sliding frames to be moved from when the corresponding reel is stopped until it stops. Each time stop control associated with the stop operation of each reel is performed, the corresponding stop operation command is transmitted after being transmitted.

  The stop command is a command that can specify whether the reel to be stopped is a left reel, a middle reel, or a right reel, and the area number of the stop position of the corresponding reel. Stop control associated with the stop operation of each reel Is transmitted after the corresponding sliding frame number command is transmitted.

  With the stop operation command, the sliding frame number command, and the stop command, it is possible to specify whether the reel to be stopped is the left reel, the middle reel, or the right reel, and accompanying the stop operation of each reel Since it is transmitted every time stop control is performed, by receiving these commands, it is possible to specify that one of the reels has been stopped and the reel to be stopped.

  The game end command is a command that can specify that the game has ended, and is transmitted when the player presses the stop switch to stop the third stop reel and releases the stop switch.

  The winning determination command is a command that can specify the presence / absence of winning, the combination of symbols arranged on the winning line LN, the type of winning, and the number of medals to be paid out at the time of winning, so that the player stops the third stop reel. This is when the stop switch is pressed and released, and is transmitted after the game end command is transmitted.

  Both the game end command and the winning determination command are transmitted when the player presses the stop switch to stop the third stop reel and then releases the stop switch. By receiving these commands, It is possible to specify that all operations necessary to advance one game have been completed.

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

  The stand-by command is a command indicating a transition to the stand-by state. When one game is over and the bet amount is not set and the estimated end time (60 seconds in this embodiment) has passed, It is transmitted after the payout of medals by the settlement (including medals used for setting the number of bets) is completed and a payout end command is transmitted.

  The stop command is a command indicating the occurrence or release of the stop state, and after the end of the BB, the stop command indicating the occurrence of the stop state is transmitted when the ending effect waiting time has elapsed, and the reset operation is performed. When the stop state is released, a stop command indicating the release of the stop state is transmitted.

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

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

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

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

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

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

  Of these commands, commands other than the door command and the operation detection command are generated in the main process, temporarily stored in the command queue provided in the RAM 41c, and transmitted in the subsequent command transmission process of the timer interrupt process (main). The

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

  The operation detection command is generated based on the detection state of the switch every time the command transmission process of the timer interrupt process (main) is executed 10 times, and is temporarily stored in the command queue provided in the RAM 41c. Then, it is transmitted in the command transmission process of the subsequent timer interrupt process (main).

  Next, the control of the effect performed by the sub-control unit 91 based on the command transmitted from the main control unit 41 to the effect control board 90 will be described. When the sub control unit 91 receives a command from the main control unit 41, the sub control unit 91 executes a command reception interrupt process. In the command reception interrupt process, the command acquired from the command transmission line is stored in the reception buffer provided in the RAM 91c.

  In the timer interrupt process (sub), the sub-control unit 91 determines whether or not an unprocessed command is stored in the reception buffer. If an unprocessed command is stored, the sub-control unit 91 is the earliest. The control pattern table stored in the ROM 91b is referred to based on the command received in the stage, and the liquid crystal display 51, effect effect LED 52, speakers 53, 54, reel LED 55, etc. are controlled based on the control contents registered in the control pattern table. Performs output control of various rendering devices. In the control pattern table, the display pattern of the liquid crystal display 51 corresponding to the type of command, the lighting mode of the lighting effect LED 52, the output mode of the speakers 53 and 54, the lighting mode of the reel LED 55, etc. Control patterns of these effect devices are registered, and when the sub-control unit 91 receives a command, the sub-control unit 91 stores the control patterns registered corresponding to the effect patterns set in the RAM 91c in the game of the control pattern table. Among these, the control pattern corresponding to the type of the received command is referred to, and the output control of the rendering device is performed based on the control pattern. Thereby, the production according to the production pattern and the progress of the game is executed.

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

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

  In the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 can provide a notification period in which navigation notification can be executed to notify the stop order that is advantageous to the player according to the internal lottery result by the lighting mode of the game auxiliary display 12. Can be controlled at an assist time (hereinafter referred to as AT).

  When the main control unit 41 controls the AT, the main control unit 41 performs navigation notification by winning the navigation target combination corresponding to the gaming state, and based on the winning number of the winning navigation notification combination, the player In addition to notifying the stop order that is advantageous to the player and transmitting a push order command that can specify the stop order that is advantageous to the player based on the winning number to the sub-control unit 91, the liquid crystal display 51, etc. The navigation effect using is executed. Further, in the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 can execute navigation notification and execute a navigation effect by satisfying certain conditions even in a normal state where the control is not performed by the AT.

  Next, processing for the main control unit 41 of this embodiment to transmit a command will be described with reference to FIGS.

  The main control unit 41 of the present embodiment updates and updates various control states (for example, whether or not a gaming state or a navigation notification is executed) at the start of the game. Controls related to the game (for example, internal lottery, navigation notification, lottery regarding the advantageous state advantageous to the player, etc.) are performed based on the controlled state, and at the end of the game, the result of the game (for example, each reel Various control states are maintained or updated in accordance with the combination of symbols stopped and the result of the lottery regarding the advantageous state. Also, at the start and end of the game, control state commands that can specify various control states at that time are transmitted to the sub-control unit 91. Note that the control state includes a plurality of types of states that are uniquely set according to the gameability, design concept, etc. of each model of the slot machine 1, and the number of control state commands is the type of the control state. It is set according to the number.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the control state command that can specify the control state is a control state that can specify a control state that can change between the start of the game and the end of the game among the control states. A command 1 and a control state command 2 that is specific to the game and can specify a control state that does not change between the start of the game and the end of the game.

  The control state command 1 includes a plurality of gaming state related commands that can specify the control state related to the gaming state in the main control unit 41, and AT control as an advantageous state that is advantageous to the player during the AT. A plurality of AT related commands A capable of specifying a control state related to being present, and a plurality of AT related commands B capable of specifying a control state related to non-AT, that is, control of the AT is not being performed, The control state command 2 includes a plurality of in-game unique information commands that can specify a control state unique to the game.

  The game state related command includes, for example, a command that can specify the game state in the main control unit 41, and a game state that is transferred when a predetermined number of games are played. A command that can specify the number of remaining games until the controlled gaming state ends, and when the gaming state is shifted by paying out a predetermined number of medals, A command or the like that can specify the number of remaining medals until the game state is completed is included.

  The AT-related command A includes, for example, a command that can specify the number of rights controlled by the AT as an advantageous state that is advantageous to the player, and the remaining games in which the AT controlled by the game is continued. Commands that can specify the number are included.

  The AT-related command B includes, for example, a command that can specify the cumulative number of normal games performed in a normal state in which no AT control is performed after the previous AT control is completed, When the number of games reaches a predetermined number of games, when the player is controlled to an advantageous state advantageous to the player, a command that can specify the number of remaining games until the advantageous state is controlled, and the right to be controlled by the AT is granted. And the number of remaining games until the control of the AT is started.

  The in-game unique information command group is controlled by, for example, an AT command that can specify the winning status of an AT lottery that determines whether or not to grant the right to be controlled by the AT as an advantageous state advantageous to the player. A command that can specify the additional number of games, a command that can be determined according to the result of the internal lottery at the start of the game, a stop order that is advantageous for the player, and a command that can be determined according to the internal lottery result at the start of the game A command that can specify the type of effect (for example, a freeze state in which the progress of the game is delayed for a predetermined period, a reel effect that is performed using a reel in the freeze state, an effect that suggests an internal lottery result, etc.).

  One command transmitted from the main control unit 41 of this embodiment to the sub-control unit 91 is composed of 2 bytes (one set of two 1-byte communication data), and the first byte (MODE) is the command. The second byte (EXT) represents the contents of the command. Each command included in the control state command is also composed of 2 bytes like the other commands. In particular, as shown in FIG. 6, the MODE of a series of commands included in the control state command is transmitted. It is set to a continuous numerical value (B0 to CF in this embodiment) corresponding to the order.

  Note that the command format shown in this embodiment (a mode in which two 1-byte communication data forms a set of commands) is an example, and another data format, for example, one communication data is 2 bytes or more. A form, a form in which one command is composed of one or three or more communication data, a form in which these forms are combined, and the like may be used. In this embodiment, the MODE of each command included in the control state command is a continuous numerical value obtained by sequential addition processing (processing to add 1) from the initial value (B0). It may be a numerical value obtained by the arithmetic processing (four arithmetic operations etc.).

  In addition, data indicating specific command contents to be transmitted to the sub-control unit 91 as EXT in each command included in the control state command is executed in the above-described main processing and timer interrupt processing (main). As a result of various processes, the data is set in a predetermined data address area of the RAM 41c corresponding to each data, and the data address of each data is continuous corresponding to the order of transmission, like the MODE value. And is obtained by sequentially performing addition processing (processing to add 1) from the initial value (data address of the command transmitted first among the control state commands). Yes. Note that data indicating the contents of the command is stored in a predetermined area of the RAM 41c specified by the data address of each command included in the control state command, and the corresponding data is directly stored by referring to the area of the data address. It is possible to read the data address by referring to the data address. For example, a second address indicating a predetermined area of the RAM 41c is stored in the data address. In addition, by referring to the predetermined area further according to the second address, it is possible to read out the corresponding data, or to calculate the corresponding data by referring to the data address. In other words, the data may be obtained as a result of the calculation. By adopting a configuration in which the corresponding data can be read indirectly by referring to the data address, for example, even if the data is not stored in a continuous numeric data address area, a predetermined value for the initial value is set. Corresponding data can be read by arithmetic processing (for example, addition processing).

  Next, a game start transmission command setting process executed at the start of the game, which is a process for transmitting a command executed by the main control unit 41 of the present embodiment, will be described with reference to FIGS. .

  When the game start operation is performed, the main control unit 41 executes a winning number setting process, and sets a winning number that can identify the winning status of the internal lottery in a predetermined area of the RAM 41c according to the result of the internal lottery. After that, stop order data setting processing is executed, stop order data that can specify a stop order that is advantageous to the player according to the internal lottery result or stop order that is advantageous to the player cannot be specified, but a standard push order (for example, Stop order data that can specify the first left stop) is set in a predetermined area of the RAM 91c. Thereafter, a transmission command setting process at the start of the game is executed, a control state command that can specify the control state at the start of the game, an internal winning command that includes a winning number that can specify the internal lottery result, Set to command queue to send to.

  As shown in FIG. 7, in the game start transmission command setting process, first, a control state update process for updating a corresponding control state among a plurality of control states in accordance with the start of the game is executed (Sa1). . In the control state update process, among the control states, for example, the gaming state, the number of games remaining until the predetermined gaming state ends, the number of remaining medals until the predetermined gaming state ends, the cumulative number of normal games For example, the control state determined by the result of the previous game is maintained without being updated. In addition, for example, regarding a control state that can change when a predetermined condition is satisfied with the start of the game, such as the number of rights controlled by the AT and the number of remaining games controlled by the AT, the predetermined condition is satisfied Update according to the situation. In addition, for example, the control state newly determined with the start of the game, such as the winning situation of the AT lottery, the stop order advantageous to the player, and the type of effect, is newly set.

  After executing the control state update process in the step of Sa1, the control state command batch setting process for collectively setting the above-described command group included in the control state command capable of specifying each control state in the command queue is executed ( Sa2).

  As shown in FIG. 8, in the control state command batch setting process, the MODE value set in the predetermined area of the RAM 41c is set to the initial value (in this embodiment, the MODE of the game state related command included in the control state command). B0) is set (Sb1). Further, the value of the data address set in the predetermined area of the RAM 41c is set to the initial value (the address value of the area where the game state related command data is stored) (Sb2). Further, the value of the number of processes set in the predetermined area of the RAM 41c is set to the number of commands included in the control state command group (Sb3).

  Thereafter, the timer interrupt is set to disabled (Sb4), and the MODE of a predetermined area of the RAM 41c is set to the command queue in a state where the timer interrupt is disabled (Sb5). Then, the data stored in the area of the RAM 41c at the address corresponding to the value of the data address is acquired, set as EXT in the predetermined area of the RAM 41c (Sb6), and the EXT is set in the command queue (Sb7).

  Thereafter, a timer interruption waiting process is executed (Sb8). In the timer interrupt waiting process, the timer interrupt is set to “permitted”, waits until the timer interrupt process (main) is performed, and returns to the caller process after the timer interrupt process (main) is completed. In the timer interrupt process (main), as will be described later, when it is not detected that the power supply to the slot machine 1 is stopped, a normal time command transmission process is performed each time the timer interrupt process (main) is executed. And the data set in the command queue (MODE and EXT constituting the command) are transmitted to the sub-control unit 91 byte by byte. Therefore, when the timer interrupt waiting process is executed in the step Sb8, the normal command transmission process is executed, and is set first among the MODE and EXT set in the command queue in the steps Sb5 and Sb7. The MODE is transmitted to the sub-control unit 91 as the first byte of the command.

  After the timer interrupt wait process in step Sb8 is completed, the timer interrupt wait process is executed again (Sb9). As a result, EXT set later in MODE and EXT set in the command queue in the steps Sb5 and Sb7 is set as the second byte of the command by the normal command transmission process executed in the timer interrupt process (main). It is transmitted to the sub-control unit 91, and two sets of timer interrupt waiting processes in steps Sb8 and Sb9 are executed, so that one set of MODE and EXT constituting one command is sub-control unit. 91 is transmitted.

  Thereafter, 1 is added to the MODE value of the predetermined area of the RAM 41c (Sb10), and 1 is added to the data address value of the predetermined area of the RAM 41c (Sb11). Then, 1 is subtracted from the value of the number of processes in the predetermined area of the RAM 41c (Sb12), and it is determined whether or not the value of the remaining number of processes after the subtraction is 0 (Sb13). It is determined whether MODE and EXT are set in the command queue for the command.

  When it is determined in step Sb13 that the value of the remaining number of processing times is not 0, that is, for all commands in the control state command group, MODE and EXT have not been set in the command queue, and commands that have not been set in the command queue yet Is left, the process returns to the step of Sb4, and the timer interruption is set to be prohibited again, and the processing of the steps of Sb10 and Sb11 is performed after the processing of the steps of Sb5 to Sb7 is performed. The process of sequentially setting MODE and EXT of commands not yet set in the command queue in the command queue is repeated.

  If it is determined in step Sb13 that the remaining number of processes is 0, that is, if MODE and EXT are set in the command queue for all commands included in the control state command group, the control state command batch setting process is performed. Is terminated, and the process returns to the calling game start command transmission process.

  In the command transmission process at the start of the game, after the control state command batch setting process in the step Sa2 is completed, the internal winning command setting process (first internal winning command) is executed (Sa3), and based on the internal lottery result The MODE and EXT of the first internal winning command that can specify the winning status of the special role are set in a predetermined area of the RAM 41c. Thereafter, command transmission processing for setting MODE and EXT in a predetermined area of the RAM 41c in the command queue is executed (Sa4).

  In the command setting process, as shown in FIG. 9, the timer interrupt is disabled (Sc1), the MODE of the predetermined area of the RAM 41c is set to the command queue, and then the EXT of the predetermined area of the RAM 41c is set to the command queue. (Sc2). Then, the prohibition of the timer interrupt set in the step of Sc1 is canceled (Sc3), the command setting process is terminated, and the process returns to the game start transmission command setting process. In the command setting process, the timer interrupt wait process is not executed after setting MODE and EXT constituting one command in the command queue as in the control state command batch setting process, but the timer interrupt is prohibited in the step of Sc3. Since the timer interrupt process (main) is performed at a predetermined timing when the interrupt is subsequently performed, MODE and EXT set in the command queue in the Sc2 step of the command setting process are set in Sc3. When the normal command transmission process is executed in the timer interrupt process (main) at a predetermined timing after the step, it is transmitted to the sub-control unit 91.

  After the command setting process in the step of Sa4 is completed, in the game start transmission command setting process, an internal winning command setting process (second internal winning command) is executed (Sa5), and the general combination based on the internal lottery result The second internal winning command MODE and EXT that can identify the winning status of the second is set in a predetermined area of the RAM 41c. Thereafter, command transmission processing is executed (Sa6), and MODE and EXT in a predetermined area of the RAM 41c are set in the command queue. The MODE and EXT of the second internal winning command set in the command queue in the command setting process in step Sa6 are interrupted by a timer at a predetermined timing after which the interrupt is performed in the same manner as in the command setting process in Sa4. When the normal command transmission process is executed in the process (main), it is transmitted to the sub-control unit 91.

  After executing the command setting process corresponding to the internal winning command setting process (second internal winning command) in step Sa6, the command setting process is ended, and the game start transmission command setting process is ended. Thereafter, control according to the progress of the game is performed such as rotation control of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R in accordance with the start operation.

  As described above, the main control unit 41 according to the present embodiment executes the control state command batch setting process when the start switch 7 is operated as the first timing, that is, at the start of the game, and sets the control state command. A plurality of included commands are transmitted to the sub-control unit 91.

  Further, when sending a plurality of commands included in the control state command in the control state command batch setting process, the main control unit 41 selects a set of MODE and EXT that constitute one command in a state where the interrupt is prohibited. After setting in the command queue, the timer interrupt process (main) is executed twice in succession by executing the timer interrupt wait process that waits until the timer interrupt process (main) is executed once. Then, by transmitting the command queue MODE and EXT to the sub-control unit 91, two sets of unit data (one byte of MODE and EXT) constituting one command are transmitted in succession. It has become.

  Further, when transmitting a plurality of commands included in the control state command in the control state command batch setting process, the main control unit 41 sets MODE and EXT in the command queue for one command and waits for a timer interrupt. After executing the process twice and sending a set of unit data, set the MODE and EXT in the command queue for the other one command, and execute the timer interrupt wait process twice. By doing so, when sending a plurality of commands included in the control status command, one command is set in the command queue and sent.

  In addition, each MODE of a plurality of commands included in the control state command is set to a continuous numerical value obtained by adding one from the initial value. Then, when transmitting a plurality of commands included in the control state command in the control state command batch setting process, the main control unit 41 uses the value obtained by adding one by one from the initial value as the MODE of each command of the control state command. By setting the command queue, a plurality of commands included in the control status command are transmitted to the sub-control unit 91 in the order of consecutive numerical values set as MODE.

  Further, the main control unit 41 executes the control state command batch setting process in the game start transmission command setting process to transmit all the control state commands that can be uniquely set for each model of the slot machine 1, The winning command setting process is executed to cause the sub-control unit 91 to transmit an internal winning command that is transmitted in common regardless of the model of the slot machine 1, and thereafter, control according to the progress of the game is performed. Therefore, it is possible to specify that control according to the progress of the game is started based on the transmission of the common internal winning command. On the other hand, the sub-control unit 91 receives the common internal winning command, specifies on the main control unit 41 side that the control according to the progress of the game is performed thereafter, and performs the control. The control of the production etc. which respond | corresponds can be started now.

  Next, a process for the main control unit 41 of the present embodiment to transmit a predetermined command at the end of the game will be described based on FIG.

  The main control unit 41 finishes the third stop operation for the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R whose rotation control has been started in accordance with the game start operation (when the stop switch for the third stop operation is released). That is, at the end of the game, a transmission command setting process at the end of the game is executed to set the command queue in order to transmit the control state command and the command related to the game result to the sub-control unit 91.

  As shown in FIG. 10, in the game end transmission command setting process, first, after setting the MODE and EXT of the door command in a predetermined area of the RAM 41c based on the output state of the door opening detection switch 25 (Sd1), the command transmission is performed. Processing is executed (Sd2), and MODE and EXT in a predetermined area of the RAM 41c are set in the command queue.

  Thereafter, a control state update process is executed (Sd3), and the corresponding control state is updated based on the end of the game and the game result. In the control state update process, among control states, a combination of symbols stopped on the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R, that is, a control state that can change according to the game result, for example, a gaming state or a predetermined gaming state is completed The remaining number of games, the number of rights controlled by the AT, etc. are updated or maintained in accordance with the result of the game, and the control state changes as the game is played in a predetermined state, for example, The number of remaining medals until the end of the game state, the cumulative number of normal games, the number of remaining games controlled by the AT, etc., are decremented by 1 according to the game being played in the corresponding state. Maintained without being updated or subtracted, and the control result that does not change regardless of the result of the game or the game being played in a predetermined state, for example, the winning situation of the AT lottery, Advantageous stop order for the technique's, is controlled so as to maintain without changing for the type of production.

  After performing the control state update process in the step of Sd3, the control state command batch setting process described above is performed (Sd4), and the control state command 1 and the control state that can specify the control state updated or maintained in the step of Sd3 Command 2 is transmitted to the sub-control unit 91.

  After that, a winning number set in a predetermined area of the RAM 41c is acquired based on the combination of symbols aligned with the winning line LN, and the winning number command MODE and EXT are set in the predetermined area of the RAM 41c based on the winning number. (Sd5) A command transmission process is executed (Sd6), and MODE and EXT in a predetermined area of the RAM 41c are set in the command queue. Thereafter, in the same manner as the winning number command is set in the command queue in the steps Sd5 and Sd6, a predetermined command to be transmitted upon completion of the game (for example, a payout number command, a game end command, a payout start command, a payout end) For command, error command, etc., MODE and EXT are set in a predetermined area of the RAM 41c, and then command transmission processing is executed to set MODE and EXT in the command queue. Then, after setting MODE and EXT in the command queue for all commands to be transmitted with the end of the game, the game end transmission command setting process is terminated. Thereafter, control according to the progress of the game is performed, such as paying out medals and setting a replay according to the result of the game.

  As described above, the main control unit 41 according to the present embodiment performs the control state command batch setting process when the third stop operation is ended for the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R as the second timing, that is, at the end of the game. When executed, the plurality of commands included in the control state command are transmitted to the sub-control unit 91.

  In addition, the main control unit 41 according to the present embodiment performs a control state update process in the game end transmission command setting process, and performs control to update or maintain a control state that can change with the end of the game. By executing the control state command batch setting process, the control state command batch setting process transmits a control state command that can specify the control state updated or maintained by the control state update process.

  In addition, the main control unit 41 executes the control state command batch setting process in the transmission command setting process at the end of the game to transmit all the control state commands that can be uniquely set for each model of the slot machine 1, and then wins a prize. A command that is transmitted in common regardless of the model of the slot machine 1 such as a number command is transmitted to the sub-control unit 91, and thereafter, control according to the progress of the game is performed. Based on the transmission of a common command such as a number command, it can be specified that control according to the progress of the game is started. On the other hand, the sub-control unit 91 receives the common command, specifies on the main control unit 41 side that the control according to the progress of the game is performed thereafter, and responds to the control.

The falling replays are “Bell-Red 7-Cherry a”, “Bell-Red 7-Watermelon”, “Bell-Red 7-Plum”, “Bell-Watermelon-Cherry a”, “ "Bel-Watermelon-Watermelon", "Bell-Watermelon-Plum", "Bell-Cherry a-Cherry a", "Bell-Cherry a-Watermelon", "Bell-Cherry a-Plum" Thus, a replay game (replay) is given. The red 7-match replay is awarded when a combination of “Replay b-Blue 7-Replay a” is aligned on the winning line LN at RT2, and a replay game (replay) is given. Red 7 missed replays are “replay a-blue 7-replay a”, “replay a-watermelon-replay a”, “replay a-cherry a-replay a”, “replay b-watermelon” on the winning line LN at RT2. When the combination of “Replay a” and “Replay b-Cherry a-Replay a” is completed, a prize is awarded and a replay game (replay) is given. The blue 7 uniform replay is awarded when the combination of “watermelon-blue 7-replay a” is aligned on the winning line LN at RT2, and a replay game (replay) is given. Blue 7 missed replay is “watermelon-watermelon-replay a”, “watermelon-cherry a-replay a”, “bell-blue 7-replay a”, “bell-watermelon-replay a” on the winning line LN at RT2. When the combination of “Bell-Cherry a-Replay a” is completed, a prize is awarded and a replay game (replay) is awarded.

  The combination of “replay b-blue 7-replay a” constituting the red 7 uniform replay is aligned with the winning line LN, so that the combination of “red 7-red 7-red 7” can be aligned with the invalid line LM2. Further, the combination of “Cherry a-Blue 7-Replay a” that constitutes the blue 7-match replay is aligned with the winning line LN, so that the combination of “Blue 7-Blue 7-Blue 7” can be aligned with the invalid line LM4.

  As shown in FIG. 14, the transition outcomes are “Replay a-Cherry a-Bell”, “Replay a-Cherry b-Bell”, “Replay a-Plum-Bell”, “Replay b-Cherry a-Bell”. "Replay b-Cherry b-Bell", "Replay b-Plum-Bell", "Replay a-Bell-Cherry a", "Replay a-Bell-White 7", "Replay a-Bell-BAR", " "Replay a-bell-plum", "Replay b-bell-cherry a", "Replay b-bell-white 7", "Replay b-bell-BAR", "Replay b-bell-plum", "Bell-cherry" "a-cherry a", "bell-cherry a-white 7", "bell-cherry a-BAR", "bell-cherry a-plum", "bell-cherry b-cherry a", "bell-cherry b-" "White 7", "Belch “Lee b-BAR”, “Bell-Cherry b-Plum”, “Bell-Plum-Cherry a”, “Bell-Plum-White 7”, “Bell-Plum-BAR”, “Bell-Plum-Plum” When RT0, RT2 and RT3 are aligned with the winning line LN, the process shifts to RT1. In this embodiment, the left bell 1 to 4, the middle bell 1 to 4, and the right bell 1 to 4 are elected, the reels other than the reels which are the winning conditions for the middle bell are set as the first stop, and the elected upper bell is missed. In this case, the transfer outcome is aligned with the winning line LN.

  Next, with reference to FIGS. 17-21, the combination of the lottery object combination read as a lottery object role for each gaming state will be described. In the present embodiment, the role to be subject to the internal lottery or whether the game state is RT1, RT2, RT3, RT4, or RB (including RB in BB) At least one of the winning probabilities is different. As will be described later as a lottery target combination, a plurality of winning combinations can be read out simultaneously and can be won in duplicate. In FIG. 17 to FIG. 21, “+” is written between winning combinations to indicate that it is simultaneously read out as a lottery target combination in the internal lottery. In FIGS. 17 to 19, the lottery object combination is shown in the vertical column, and the gaming state is shown in the horizontal column. In the column where the gaming state intersects with the lottery target, a circle indicates that it is a lottery target when in the gaming state, and a cross indicates that it is not a lottery target when in the gaming state. It shows that. Also, the numerical values shown below the circles indicate the number of determination values of a predetermined set value (common in this embodiment regardless of the set value). An internal lottery is performed using the number of determination values. The denominator of the number of determination values is set to “65536” corresponding to a random number for internal lottery (an integer from 0 to 65535). For this reason, for example, the winning probability of the lottery subject for which “300” is set as the number of determination values is 300/65536. FIG. 17 shows combinations of special roles that are read as lottery targets for each gaming state, FIG. 18 shows combinations of small roles that are read as lottery targets for each gaming state, and FIG. The combination of the replay game combination read out as a combination is shown.

  When the gaming state is RT0, BB, BB + strong cherry, BB + weak cherry, BB + watermelon, BB + common bell, RB, RB + weak cherry, RB + watermelon, RB + common bell, left bell 1, left bell 2, left bell 3, Left bell 4, middle bell 1, middle bell 2, middle bell 3, middle bell 4, right bell 1, right bell 2, right bell 3, right bell 4, strong cherry, weak cherry, watermelon, common bell, normal replay, The replay GR11, the replay GR12, the replay GR13, the replay GR14, the replay GR15, and the replay GR16 are subject to internal lottery. When the gaming state is RT1, BB, BB + strong cherry, BB + weak cherry, BB + watermelon, BB + common bell, RB, RB + weak cherry, RB + watermelon, RB + common bell, left bell 1, left bell 2, left bell 3, Left bell 4, middle bell 1, middle bell 2, middle bell 3, middle bell 4, right bell 1, right bell 2, right bell 3, right bell 4, strong cherry, weak cherry, watermelon, common bell, normal replay, Replay GR1, Replay GR2, Replay GR3, Replay GR4, Replay GR5, and Replay GR6 are targeted for internal lottery. When the gaming state is RT2, BB, BB + strong cherry, BB + weak cherry, BB + watermelon, BB + common bell, RB, RB + weak cherry, RB + watermelon, RB + common bell, left bell 1, left bell 2, left bell 3, Left bell 4, middle bell 1, middle bell 2, middle bell 3, middle bell 4, right bell 1, right bell 2, right bell 3, right bell 4, strong cherry, weak cherry, watermelon, common bell, normal replay, The replay GR21, the replay GR22, the replay GR23, the replay GR24, the replay GR25, and the replay GR26 are targeted for internal lottery. When the gaming state is RT3, BB, BB + strong cherry, BB + weak cherry, BB + watermelon, BB + common bell, RB, RB + weak cherry, RB + watermelon, RB + common bell, left bell 1, left bell 2, left bell 3, Left bell 4, middle bell 1, middle bell 2, middle bell 3, middle bell 4, right bell 1, right bell 2, right bell 3, right bell 4, strong cherry, weak cherry, watermelon, common bell, normal replay It becomes a target for internal lottery. When the gaming state is RT4, left bell 1, left bell 2, left bell 3, left bell 4, middle bell 1, middle bell 2, middle bell 3, middle bell 4, right bell 1, right bell 2, right bell 3, right bell 4, strong cherry, weak cherry, watermelon, common bell, and normal replay are the subject of internal lottery. When the gaming state is RB, strong cherries, weak cherries, watermelons, and common bells are targeted for internal lottery.

  The left bell 1 to 4, the middle bell 1 to 4, the right bell 1 to 4, the common bell, the strong cherry, the weak cherry, and the watermelon are combinations or combinations of combinations shown in FIG. 20. In the following, when it is not particularly necessary to distinguish, left bells 1 to 4 are simply referred to as left bells, middle bells 1 to 4 are simply referred to as middle bells, and right bells 1 to 4 are simply referred to as right bells. There is. Moreover, when it is not necessary to distinguish any of the left bells 1 to 4, the middle bells 1 to 4, and the right bells 1 to 4, they may be simply referred to as push order bells.

  Normal replay, replay GR1 to 6, replay GR11 to 16, and replay GR21 to 26 are combinations of roles shown in FIG. In the following description, when there is no need to distinguish between the replays GR1 to 6, the replays GR11 to 16, and the replays GR21 to 26, they may be simply referred to as push order replays.

  In this embodiment, when the push order bell is won, as shown in FIG. 22, the combination of the symbols to be stopped differs according to the type of the push order bell and the stop order. For example, if the left bell 1 (middle bell + upper bell 1 + upper bell 8) is elected and the stop operation is performed in the stop order with the left reel as the first stop, the combination of the middle bell stops at the winning line LN. When the stop operation is performed in the stop order in which the middle reel is the first stop or in the stop order in which the right reel is the first stop, either the combination of the upper bell 1 and the upper bell 8 or the transition outcome is Stop at the winning line LN. The same applies to the left bells 2 to 4, the middle bells 1 to 4, and the right bells 1 to 4, and as shown in FIG. 22, the combination of symbols to be stopped is different depending on the type of the push order bell and the stop order.

  Specifically, when the reel in which the push order bell is won and the middle bell is awarded as the first stop is stopped, the bell design is stopped at the middle of the reel, and then the remaining By performing the reel stop operation, the “bell” is also stopped at the middle stage of the remaining reels, and the combination of the middle stage bells is aligned with the winning line LN.

  On the other hand, when the pushing bell is elected and a reel other than the reel that the middle bell wins as the first stop is operated, the first stop reel and the second stop reel are elected. The upper bell (in the case of the left bell, "Replay a" or "Replay b" for the left reel, "Cherry a", "Cherry b" or "Plum" for the middle reel, and for the right reel “Cherry a”, “White 7”, “BAR” or “Plum”) can be stopped at the middle stage, and when the two reels stop, the winning upper bell can be stopped at the winning line LN Situations (If left bell 1, "Replay a-Cherry a / Cherry b-Rotating", "Replay a-Rotating-Cherry a / White 7 / BAR", "Replay b-Plum-Rotating" , “Replay b-during rotation-plum”), and if the stop operation of the third stop reel is performed at a timing at which the winning upper bell configuration symbol can be pulled in, the middle stage of the third stop reel The winning top bell constituent symbols are stopped, the winning top bell combination is aligned with the winning line LN, and the winning top bell constituent symbols are arranged at a timing other than the timing at which the third stopping reel can be pulled in. If the stop operation has been performed, the “bell” is stopped at the middle stage of the third stop reel, and the combination of the transition outputs (if the left bell is 1, “replay a-cherry a / cherry b-bell”, “Replay a-Bell-Cherry a / White 7 / BAR”, “Replay b-Plum-Bell”, “Replay b-Bell-Plum”) are aligned with the winning line LN. In addition, when the two reels are stopped, the winning upper bell cannot be stopped on the winning line L (if the left bell is 1, “Replay b-Cherry a / Cherry b—Rotating”, “ Replay b-rotating-cherry a / white 7 / BAR "," replay a-plum-rotating "," replay a-rotating-plum "), the timing at which the third stop reel was stopped Regardless, stop the “bell” in the middle of the third stop reel, and the combination of the transition outcomes (if left bell 1, “Replay b-Cherry a / Cherry b-Bell”, “Replay b-Bell-” Cherry a / White 7 / BAR ”,“ Replay a-Plum-Bell ”, and“ Replay a-Bell-Plum ”) are aligned with the winning line L. When the transition outcomes are aligned with the winning line LN, combinations of “other than bell-bell-bell”, “other than bell-bell-bell”, and “other than bell-bell-bell” are aligned with the invalid line LM1.

  For this reason, when the push order bell is won, the expected value of the number of medals to be paid out can be changed depending on whether or not the operation is performed in the stop order according to the type of the push order bell. In other words, even if one of the push order bells is won, if the type is not known, it is not possible to intentionally select the stop order according to the type, and if the stop order matches, the middle bell is definitely won By doing so, medals can be obtained with certainty, but if the stopping order does not match, medals can be obtained only at a certain rate. In particular, in RT0 and RT2, since the transition point stops when the stop order does not match, if the stop order does not match, the transition to RT1 occurs at a certain rate. In this embodiment, even if the stop operation is performed in any stop order, the middle bell wins at an equal rate and 8 medals can be obtained, so the player performs the stop operation in any stop order. Can be prevented from becoming extremely disadvantageous.

  Further, in this embodiment, even if stop operation is performed in any stop order, the transition outcome can be stopped, and even when stop operation is performed at any timing, the transition is surely performed. The timing for avoiding the exit is not present, and the stop of the transition exit cannot be intentionally avoided unless the type of the push order bell is known.

  In this embodiment, when the pushing order bell is won, if the stop operation is performed in an operation mode other than the operation mode in which the middle or upper bell can be won, the transitional outcome is always stopped. However, if the stop operation is performed in an operation mode in which the middle bell or the upper bell cannot be won at the time of winning the push order bell, the transition start or miss, that is, the symbol that does not generate any winnings It may be configured to stop a combination of symbols that is a combination and that is not a symbol combination that constitutes the transitional outcome.

  In the present embodiment, when the replays GR1 to GR6 are elected, as shown in FIG. 23, the combination of symbols to be stopped differs according to the type and stop order. For example, when replay GR1 (middle replay + promotion replay) is won and the stop operation is performed in the order of stop in the left middle right, the combination of the promotion replay stops in the winning line LN, and the stop order other than the left middle right When the stop operation is performed at, the middle stage replay combination is stopped at the winning line LN. The same applies to the replays GR2 to GR6, as shown in FIG. For this reason, when replay GR1-6 is won in RT1, the promotion replay wins by operating in the stop order corresponding to the type, but if the type is not known, intentionally select the stop order according to the type If the stop order matches, it is possible to shift to RT0 by winning the promoted replay. However, if the stop order does not match, RT1 is maintained. In this embodiment, even if the stop operation is performed in any stop order, the promotion replay wins at an equal rate and shifts to RT0. Therefore, no matter what stop order the player performs the stop operation, Can be prevented from becoming disadvantageous.

  In the present embodiment, when the replays GR11 to 16 are selected, as shown in FIG. 24, the combination of symbols to be stopped is different according to the type and stop order. For example, when the replay GR11 (special replay + middle stage replay + falling replay) is won and the stop operation is performed in the order of stopping with the left reel as the first stop, the combination of the middle stage replay stops at the winning line LN, When the stop operation is performed in the stop order with the middle reel as the first stop, the combination of special replays stops at the winning line LN, and when the stop operation is performed in the stop order with the right reel as the first stop The combination of fall replay stops on the winning line LN. When replay GR12 (special replay + middle replay + fall replay + right replay) is selected and the stop operation is performed in the order of stop with the left reel as the first stop, the combination of middle replay stops at the winning line LN When the stop operation is performed in the stop order in which the middle reel is the first stop, the combination of the falling replays is stopped on the winning line LN, and the stop operation is performed in the stop order in which the right reel is the first stop. In this case, the special replay combination stops on the winning line LN. When replay GR13 (special replay + middle stage replay + tumble replay + red 7 complete replay) is selected and the stop operation is performed in the order of stop with the left reel as the first stop, the combination of tumble replay is placed on the winning line LN When the stop operation is performed in the stop order in which the middle reel is the first stop, the combination of the middle stage replay is stopped on the winning line LN, and the stop operation is performed in the stop order in which the right reel is the first stop. If this happens, the special replay combination stops at the winning line LN. When replay GR14 (special replay + middle replay + tumble replay + red 7-match replay + right-up replay) is selected and the stop operation is performed in the stop order with the left reel as the first stop, the special replay combination is When stopping at the winning line LN and performing a stop operation in the stop order in which the middle reel is the first stop, the combination of the middle stage replays stops at the winning line LN and in the stop order with the right reel being the first stop. When the stop operation is performed, the combination of the fall replay stops on the winning line LN. When replay GR15 (special replay + middle replay + tumble replay + blue 7 complete replay) is selected and the stop operation is performed in the order of stop with the left reel as the first stop, the combination of special replay is placed on the winning line LN When the stop operation is performed in the stop order in which the middle reel is the first stop, the combination of the tumble replay is stopped on the winning line LN, and the stop operation is performed in the stop order in which the right reel is the first stop. If this happens, the middle stage replay combination stops on the winning line LN. When replay GR16 (special replay + middle stage replay + tumble replay + blue 7-match replay + right-up replay) is won and the stop operation is performed in the stop order with the left reel as the first stop, the combination of tumble replay is When stopping at the winning line LN and performing a stop operation in the stop order in which the middle reel is the first stop, the special replay combination stops at the winning line LN and in the stop order with the right reel as the first stop. When the stop operation is performed, the middle stage replay combination stops on the pay line LN.

  For this reason, when the replays GR11 to 16 are won at RT0, special replays are won by operating in the stop order corresponding to the type, but if the type is not known, the stop order according to the type is intentionally If the operated stop order matches the stop order corresponding to the middle replay, RT0 can be maintained by winning the middle replay and matches the stop order corresponding to the special replay. Then, it is possible to shift to RT2 by winning the special replay, but if the stop order corresponding to the middle replay and the stop order corresponding to the special replay do not match, the fall replay wins and moves to RT1. May end up. In this embodiment, even if the stop operation is performed in any stop order, the middle stage replay wins and RT0 is maintained at an equal rate, the special replay wins and moves to RT2, and the fall replay wins. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the player from becoming extremely disadvantageous regardless of the stop order in which the player performs the stop operation.

  Further, in this embodiment, RT0 is maintained when replay GR11, 12 is won at RT0, when replay GR13, 14 is won at RT0, and when replay GR15, 16 is won at RT0. The stop order (first stop reel) in which the replay is won differs from the stop order (first stop reel) in which the special replay that moves to RT2 is won. In addition, when the replays GR11 and 12 are won at RT0, the stop order (first stop reel) for winning the middle stage replay in which RT0 is maintained is the same, but when the replay GR11 is won and the replay GR12 The stop order (first stop reel) in which the special replay for shifting to RT2 is won is different from the case where is won. The same applies when the replays GR13 and 14 are won at RT0 and the replays GR15 and 16 are won at RT0. For this reason, even if the stop order for winning the middle stage replay in which RT0 is maintained is specified, the stop order for winning the special replay that shifts to RT2 from the stop order cannot be specified.

  In the present embodiment, when the replays GR21 to 23 are elected, as shown in FIG. 24, the combination of symbols to be stopped is different according to the type and stop order. For example, when replay GR21 (red 7-match replay + red 7 missed replay + promotion replay) is won and the stop operation is performed in the stop order with the left reel or the middle reel as the first stop, the red 7-match replay or When the combination of red 7 missed replay stops at the winning line LN and the stop operation is performed in the stop order with the right reel as the first stop, the promoted replay combination stops at the winning line LN. The same applies to the replays GR22 and 23. As shown in FIG. 24, the combination of symbols to be stopped is different according to the type and stop order. For this reason, when replay GR21-23 is selected in RT2, red 7-match replay or red 7 missed replay is won by operating in the order of stop according to the type, but if that type is not known, that type is intentionally However, if the stop order matches, RT2 can be maintained by winning the red 7-match replay or red 7 missed replay, but if the stop order does not match The promotion replay may win and move to RT0. In this embodiment, even if the stop operation is performed in any stop order, the red 7-match replay or red 7 missed replay wins and maintains RT2 at an equal rate, so the player stops in any stop order. Even if the operation is performed, it can be prevented from becoming extremely disadvantageous.

  In the present embodiment, when the replay GRs 24 to 26 are elected, as shown in FIG. 24, the combination of symbols to be stopped is different according to the type and stop order. For example, if Replay GR24 (Blue 7 Match Replay + Blue 7 Missing Replay + Promotion Replay) is won and the stop operation is performed in the stop order with the left reel or middle reel as the first stop, When the combination of the blue 7 missed replay stops on the pay line LN and the stop operation is performed in the stop order with the right reel as the first stop, the promoted replay combination stops on the pay line LN. The same applies to the replays GR25 and 26, and as shown in FIG. 24, the combination of symbols to be stopped is different according to the type and stop order. For this reason, when the replay GR24-26 is selected in RT2, a blue 7-match replay or a blue 7 missed replay is won by operating in the order of stop according to the type. If the stop order matches, the RT2 can be maintained by winning a blue 7-match replay or blue 7 missed replay, but if the stop order does not match The promotion replay may win and move to RT0. In this embodiment, even if the stop operation is performed in any stop order, the blue 7-match replay or blue 7 missed replay wins and maintains RT2 at an equal rate, so the player stops in any stop order. Even if the operation is performed, it can be prevented from becoming extremely disadvantageous.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 15 and FIG. 16, it is controlled to either RT0 to RT4 or bonus (RB in RB, BB). RT0 shifts by winning a promotion replay at RT1 and RT2. Regardless of the number of games since the transition to RT0, RT0 transitions to RT1 by winning the fall replay or stopping the transition, or transitions to RT2 by winning the special replay, or the special role is won And it complete | finishes by transferring to RT4. The medal payout rate per game exceeds 100% when the stop operation is performed in the order of stop according to the navigation notification, and becomes 100% or less when the navigation notification is not executed. RT1 shifts at RT0, RT2, RT3 when a fall replay is won or when a transition is stopped. Then, RT1 ends by shifting to RT0 by winning a promotion replay or shifting to RT4 by winning a special role, regardless of the number of games since shifting to RT1. The payout rate of medals per game is less than 100%. RT2 shifts by winning a special replay at RT0. Then, regardless of the number of games since the transition to RT2, RT2 transitions to RT0 due to the promotion replay winning, transitions to RT1 due to the stop of the transitional outcome, or transitions to RT4 due to the winning of special role. That's it. The medal payout rate per game exceeds 100% when the stop operation is performed in the order of stop according to the navigation notification, and becomes 100% or less when the navigation notification is not executed. RT3 shifts to the end of the bonus (BB, RB). Then, RT3 is terminated by transitioning to RT1 by stopping the transition or regardless of the number of games since transitioning to RT3, or by transitioning to RT4 by winning a special role. The payout rate of medals per game is less than 100%. RT4 shifts by winning special roles (BB, RB) in RT0-3. RT4 ends when the special combination that triggered the transition to RT4 wins and shifts to a bonus (BB or RB) regardless of the number of games since the transition to RT4. The medal payout rate per game is less than 100% both when the stop operation is performed in the stop order according to the navigation notification and when the navigation notification is not executed. RB shifts due to RB winning in RT4. Then, the RB ends when 12 games are digested or the game is won six times. The payout rate of medals per game exceeds 100%. BB shifts by winning BB at RT4. The BB ends when the total number of medals paid out during the BB exceeds a specified number (316 in this embodiment) regardless of the number of games since the transition to the BB. The payout rate of medals per game exceeds 100%.

  Among RT0 to 4, RB, and BB (RB), RB and BB have the highest medal payout rate per game and are the most advantageous gaming state. RT0, RT2 and RT4 of RT0-4 have a higher probability of winning a re-gamer, and the payout rate of medals per game is higher than RT1 and 3, compared to RT1 and RT3. It can be said that this is an advantageous state for the player. RT0, 2 of RT0, 2, 4 can be said to be more advantageous to the player than RT4 in that the payout rate of medals per game is higher than RT4. RT2 can be said to be more advantageous to the player than RT0 in that there is a high possibility that the number of ART games described later will be added.

  Further, in the slot machine according to the present embodiment, when the gaming state is RT0 to 2, the main control unit 41 can execute a navigation notification for notifying the stop order that is advantageous to the player according to the internal lottery result. It is possible to control the assist time (hereinafter referred to as AT) that is a notification period.

  When the main control unit 41 is controlled by the AT, the main control unit 41 performs navigation notification by winning the notification target combination corresponding to the gaming state, and the first internal winning command to the sub control unit 91 By transmitting the second internal winning command and the pressing order command, the navigation control by the sub-control unit 91 is executed. The notification target combination according to the gaming state is replay GR1 to 6 when pushing RT, push order bell, when replaying GR11 to 16 when pushing RT, and replay GR21 to 26 when RT2. Pushing bell. Further, in the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 executes navigation notification by satisfying certain conditions even in a normal state (RT1 and non-AT state) where neither AT nor ART is controlled. It is possible to execute a navigation effect. The navigation notification of the present embodiment notifies the stop order advantageous for the player in an identifiable manner by changing the lighting mode of the game auxiliary display 12. The navigation notification mode will be described in detail later.

  The navigation effect of the present embodiment notifies the stop order advantageous for the player notified by the navigation notification by displaying the navigation image from the liquid crystal display 51 and the output of the navigation sound from the speakers 53 and 54. For example, when informing the stop order of the left middle right stop switch 8L such as “123” (indicating that the left reel is the first stop, the middle reel is the second stop, and the right reel is the third stop), Stop order images indicating the stop order of 8C and 8R are displayed. In addition, as the navigation voice, for example, “left middle right!” (Indicating that the left reel is the first stop, the middle reel is the second stop, and the right reel is the third stop) Is output. When the stop order in which the left reel is first stopped is notified, the stop order of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R such as “1--” (indicating that the left reel is the first stop) is indicated. Display stop order images. Further, as the navigation voice, for example, “left!” (Indicating that the left reel is in the first stop) (indicating that the left reel is in the first stop) indicating the stop switch stop order is output. To do. In particular, when the replay GRs 21 to 26 are elected at RT2 and the stop order in which the red 7 complete replay, red 7 missing replay or blue 7 complete replay, blue 7 missing replay wins is notified, the stop order image described above. In addition, an image prompting a stop operation at a timing targeting red 7 and blue 7 is also displayed on each reel, and a stop operation at that timing is prompted. In addition, the aspect of a navigation effect is not restricted to such an aspect, What kind of thing may be sufficient if a player is distinguishable according to a winning condition. Further, the navigation effect is not limited to using the liquid crystal display 51 and the speakers 53 and 54, but may be executed using the effect effect LED 52, the reel LED 55, and the like.

  In the navigation notification and the navigation effect, when any one of the replays GR1 to GR6 is won in RT1, the stop order in which the promotion replay wins is identifiable in an identifiable manner. In addition, when any of the replays GR11 to 16 is won at RT0, the stop order in which the middle stage replay or special replay wins is notified in an identifiable manner. Further, when any of the replays GR21 to 23 is won in RT2 and the number of guaranteed games to be described later remains, the stop order in which the red 7 uniform replay and red 7 missed replay wins is identifiable. Further, when any one of the replays GR24 to 26 is won at RT2 and the number of guaranteed games to be described later remains, the stop order in which the blue 7 uniform replay and the blue 7 missed replay wins is identifiable.

  As described above, in the navigation notification and the navigation effect, the stop order that is advantageous to the player is notified in an identifiable manner. For this reason, the player can intentionally win a promotion replay at RT1 and shift to RT0, or win a middle bell at RT0 by performing stop operations in the order of stop according to the navigation effect. Maintaining RT0 by winning middle replay, winning special replay and moving to RT2, avoiding falling replay winning, winning middle bell, and avoiding stopping transition Yes, in RT2, red 7 complete replay, red 7 spill replay, blue 7 complete replay, blue 7 spill replay can be awarded to maintain RT2, middle bells can be awarded, and transitional stops can be avoided. it can.

  In the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 controls to ART (a state controlled by AT at RT0) when the lottery condition is satisfied (in this embodiment, strong cherry, weak cherry, watermelon, common bell win). ART lottery to determine whether or not. Then, the main control unit 41 wins the ART lottery and controls the ART when the precursor period ends.

  When controlling to ART, first control to AT. The state from the start of the AT control to the transition to RT0 is also referred to as a preparation state. The main control unit 41 performs navigation notification when the target combination is won in the preparation state. At this time, in RT1, when the replays GR1 to 6 are won, navigation notification is performed, and when the replays GR1 to 6 are won, the stop order for winning the promoted replay is notified by the navigation notification, so stop according to the notified stop order. By performing the operation, it is possible to shift the promotion replay from RT1 to RT0. In addition, after the transition to the ready state, the stop order for winning the middle bell when the push order bell is won is notified, so that the stop operation is performed in accordance with the notified stop order, so that eight medals can be reliably obtained. It becomes possible.

  The main control unit 41 ends the preparation state when the promotion replay wins at RT1, and starts the ART control. Accordingly, the main control unit 41 sets the predetermined number of games as the number of remaining ART games allocated to the RAM 91c, and starts counting the number of remaining ART games. After the ART starts, the stop order for winning the middle bell when the push order bell is won will be notified, so it is possible to reliably acquire 8 medals by performing the stop operation according to the notified stop order. At the same time, it is possible to avoid stopping the transition event and winning the fall replay and avoiding the transition to RT1. In addition, when the extra state lottery described later is not won, the stop order for winning the middle stage replay when the replays GR11 to 16 are won is notified by the navigation notification, so the stop operation is performed according to the notified stop order. This makes it possible to maintain the RT0 by winning the middle stage replay.

  Further, after the start of ART, every time one game is consumed, the number of remaining games is decremented by 1, and when the remaining number of games becomes 0, the AT control is terminated. As a result, the navigation notification is not executed, so it becomes impossible to avoid the stop of the transitional outcome when winning the push order bell, and it is impossible to avoid the winning of the fall replay when winning the replay GR11-16. By shifting to RT1 by stopping the game or winning the fall replay, a series of AT and ART controls are completed.

  Also, after the start of ART, if the lottery condition (winning of watermelon, weak cherry, strong cherry, common bell) is satisfied before the remaining number of games becomes 0, it is determined whether or not to increase the number of ART games. Add lottery. When the winning lottery is won, an ART game number lottery for determining the number of ART games is performed, and the number of games won in the ART game number lottery is added to the remaining number of ART games.

  In addition, after the start of ART, when the lottery condition (strong cherry winning) is satisfied before the remaining number of games becomes 0, the state shifts to an added state in which the probability that the number of ART games will be added is higher than during ART. Addition state lottery to determine whether or not. Then, when winning the extra state lottery, the stop order for winning the special replay at the time of winning the replays GR11 to 16 is notified by navigation notification, and by performing the stop operation according to the notified stop order It is possible to shift to RT2 by winning a special replay.

  When shifting to RT2 due to winning the added state lottery, the ART is interrupted, and the counting of the number of ART games is also interrupted, and the added state is shifted. The added state continues until the promotion replay wins or the transitional game stops, and during that time, every time any role wins, the ART game number lottery is performed, and the number of games won in the ART game number lottery is determined. Add to the number of remaining games in ART. In particular, when the red 7 replay or red 7 missed replay is won, the average number of games won in the ART game number lottery is set higher than when other roles win, and the blue 7 replay or blue 7 When the missed replay wins, the average number of games won in the ART game number lottery is set higher than when the red 7 replay or red 7 missed replay wins.

  In the added state, until the guaranteed number of games is reached, the stop order for winning the red 7 replay or red 7 missed replay when the replay GR 21 to 23 is won is notified by the navigation notification, and when the replay GR 24 to 26 is won the blue 7 replay or Since the stop order for winning the blue 7 missed replay is notified by the navigation notification, the stop operation is performed in accordance with the notified stop order to avoid the end of RT2 due to the promotion replay winning, that is, the end of the added state. 7 replays, red 7 missed replays, blue 7 replays or blue 7 missed replays can be won to add more games to the remaining number of games on the ART than when winning other roles. In addition, after reaching the guaranteed number of games, navigation notification is not executed when the replays GR21-26 are won, so it is impossible to avoid the promotion replay winning when the replays GR21-26 are won, and the promotion replay wins By shifting to RT0, the added state is terminated, and counting of ART and ART games is resumed.

  In addition, in the added state, regardless of whether or not the guaranteed number of games has been reached, the stop order for winning the middle bell when the push order bell is won is notified, so by performing the stop operation according to the notified stop order As a result, eight medals can be obtained with certainty, and stoppage of the transition outcome can be avoided and the transition to RT1 can be avoided.

  Further, after the start of ART, if a special combination is won before the remaining number of games becomes 0, the ART is interrupted by the end of RT2, and the counting of the number of ART games is also interrupted accordingly. When a special combination is won during ART, navigation notification is not performed even if the push order bell is won until the special combination wins.

  If the special role is won during ART and the ART is interrupted, the bonus is controlled after the winning special role is won, and the transition is stopped at RT3 after the bonus ends, and RT1 At this time, the AT control is resumed, and the ART is resumed by moving again to RT0 through the preparation state, and the counting of the remaining number of games of the ART is also resumed.

  In addition, the main control unit 41 notifies the stop order in which the middle bell wins by navigation notification when the push order bell is won during ART or in the added state, and ignores the notified stop order. When the stop operation is performed, the upper bell may win and RT0 or RT2 may be maintained, but the transitional outcome may stop and shift to RT1. If the transition is made from RT0 or RT2 to RT1 during ART or in an added state, the added state will end, but the ART will continue, and the number of remaining games in the ART will be decremented by 1 every time one game is completed Similarly, the stop order for winning the promoted replay at the time of winning the replays GR1 to 6 at RT1 is notified by the navigation notification, and the stop operation is performed according to the notified stop order to win the promoted replay and from RT1 to RT0. It is possible to migrate.

  In this embodiment, when the middle stage replay that maintains RT0 at RT0 and the special replay that shifts to RT2, which is more advantageous to the player than RT0, are won at the same time, the stop order in which the middle stage replay wins and the stop that the special replay wins In the case where the order is different from the stop order, and the addition state lottery is not won, the stop order in which the middle stage replay wins is notified by navigation notification to prompt the stop operation in the notified stop order, and RT0 Is supposed to be maintained.

  In such a configuration, even if the stop order for maintaining RT0 is notified by the navigation notification, there is a possibility that the stop order for shifting to RT2 from the notified stop order may be specified, and the stop for maintaining RT0 is possible. In spite of the notification of the order, there is a possibility that the operation is intentionally performed in the stop order of shifting to RT2.

  In contrast, in this embodiment, RT0 is maintained when the replays GR11 and 12 are won at RT0, when the replays GR13 and 14 are won at RT0, and when the replays GR15 and 16 are won at RT0. When the stop order for winning the middle stage replay is different from the stop order for winning the special replay that moves to RT2, and when the replays GR11 and 12 are elected at RT0, the stop order for winning the middle stage replay where both RT0s are maintained The order is the same, but the stop order for winning the special replay that moves to RT2 is different between the case where the replay GR11 is won and the case where the replay GR12 is won. The same applies if Replay GR15 or 16 is won Going on. For this reason, even if the stop order for winning the middle stage replay in which RT0 is maintained by navigation notification is specified, the stop order for winning the special replay that moves from the stop order to RT2 cannot be specified. Thus, it is possible to prevent the stop order to be shifted to RT2 from being specified when the stop order for maintaining RT0 is notified.

  Further, in this embodiment, when the replays GR11 and 12 are won at RT0, the stop order for winning the middle stage replay where RT0 is maintained is the same, but when the replay GR11 is won and the replay GR12 is Not only does the stop order for winning the special replay to shift to RT2 in the case of winning, but also the stop order for winning the special replay does not match, the fall replay wins and is more disadvantageous for the player than RT0 The same applies to the case where the replay GRs 13 and 14 are won at RT0 and the case where the replay GRs 15 and 16 are won at RT0. For this reason, even if the stop order for winning the special replay is narrowed down by specifying the stop order for winning the middle stage replay in which RT0 is maintained by the navigation notification, the stop operation is performed other than the notified stop order. As a result, there may be a disadvantage for the player, so that the player can be prompted to stop in the notified stop order.

  In this embodiment, the reel stop order is applied as an operation mode for winning the middle stage replay in which RT0 is maintained when winning the replays GR11 to 16 and an operation mode for winning the special replay to shift to RT2. The timing of the stop operation may be applied, or a combination of the stop order and the timing of the stop operation may be applied.

  Further, in this embodiment, when the stop operation is performed in an operation mode different from the operation mode for winning the middle stage replay in which RT0 is maintained when winning the replays GR11 to 16 and the special replay for shifting to RT2 In addition, although the fall replay wins and shifts to RT1, which is disadvantageous for the player than RT0, the operation mode for winning the middle stage replay in which RT0 is maintained when the replays GR11 to 16 are elected, special shift to RT2 When a stop operation is performed in an operation mode different from the operation mode for winning a replay, any display result other than the display result for which a special replay that moves to RT2 wins may be stopped. The display result to be stopped may be configured to stop.

  Further, in this embodiment, when the replay GRs 11 and 12 with the same operation mode for winning the middle stage replay are won, the operation mode for winning the special replay is the operation mode for winning the middle stage replay when the replay GRs 11 and 12 are won. Although it is the same as a part of the operation mode in which special replays are won in different replays GR13 to 16, the special replay is awarded in replays GR13 to 16 in which the operation mode for winning the middle stage replay is different from the winning of replays GR11 and 12. The configuration may be different from the operation mode. Further, when the replay GRs 13 and 14 having the same operation mode for winning the middle replay are won, the replays GR11 and 12 are different from the operation mode for winning the special replay and the operation mode for winning the middle replay when the replay GRs 13 and 14 are won. 15 and 16 are the same as part of the operation mode for winning a special replay, but the replay GRs 11, 12, 15, and 16 have different operation modes for winning a middle stage replay when the replays GR 13 and 14 are selected. The configuration may be different from the operation mode for winning a prize. In addition, when the replays GR15 and 16 having the same operation mode for winning the middle replay are won, the replays GR11 to 14 are different from the operation mode for winning the special replay in the case of winning the replay GR15 and 16 and the operation mode for winning the middle stage replay. Is the same as a part of the operation mode for winning a special replay, but is different from the operation mode for winning a special replay in the replays GR11 to 14 in which the operation mode for winning the middle stage replay is different from the time of winning the replays GR15 and 16. It may be.

  In addition, RT2 is advantageous to the player in that it is more likely to be given benefits advantageous to the player than RT0 in that the number of ART games is likely to be increased. However, for example, a configuration that is advantageous to the player in terms of a high probability of winning a specific combination, a high probability of winning a specific combination, and a high medal payout rate may be used.

  Here, the benefit advantageous to the player means a right that allows the player to shift to an advantageous state advantageous to the player (winning a lottery for determining whether or not to generate the advantageous state, shifting to the advantageous state. (E.g., winning is permitted), the right to be notified of an operation mode advantageous to the player, the right to be controlled to a gaming state with a high expected value to which a gaming value is given, and the current gaming state are advantageous to the player Such as the right to be notified of whether or not the player is in a gaming state, the period during which the player is controlled to be in an advantageous state (the number of fixed games, the average value of the number of games that vary depending on the end condition, etc.) Alternatively, it may be a benefit that is indirectly advantageous to the player, such as a condition for obtaining a privilege on the Internet, although it is not directly advantageous to the player.

  In this embodiment, in RT0, the display results for maintaining RT0, the display results for transitioning to RT2, and the display results for transitioning to RT1 are all applied the display results for the re-game player to win. The display result may be a display result in which a small combination wins, or a display result in which no combination wins.

  Next, the control content of the internal winning command transmission process performed by the main control unit 41 will be described with reference to FIGS.

  In this embodiment, a winning number is assigned in advance for each type of lottery subject, and a lottery subject that may be carried over, that is, a special winning number table in which a winning number for each type of special role is set, A lottery target that is not carried over, that is, a general winning number table in which a winning number for each type of general winning is set is stored in a predetermined area of the ROM 41b.

  As shown in FIG. 25, in the special role winning number table, when no special role is won, that is, the winning winning number is “0”, and the winning number of BB is “1”. The winning number is assigned “2”.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 26, in the general winning number table, when no general winning is won, that is, the winning number of the outlier is “0”, and the winning number of the normal replay is “1”. The replay GR1 winning number is “2”, the replay GR2 winning number is “3”, the replay GR3 winning number is “4”, and the replay GR4 winning number is “5”. The winning number of GR5 is “6”, the winning number of replay GR6 is “7”, the winning number of replay GR11 is “8”, and the winning number of replay GR12 is “9”, which is replay GR13. The winning number is “10”, the winning number of the replay GR14 is “11”, the winning number of the replay GR15 is “12”, the winning number of the replay GR16 is “13”, the winning number of the replay GR21 , “14” is the winning number of the replay GR 22, “15” is the winning number of the replay GR 23, “16” is the winning number of the replay GR 24, “17” is the winning number of the replay GR 25 is “ 18 ”is assigned as the winning number of the replay GR 26,“ 19 ”. In addition, “20” is assigned to the winning number of strong cherry, “21” is assigned to the winning number of strong cherry, and “22” is assigned to the winning number of watermelon. The winning number for left bell 1 is “23”, the winning number for left bell 2 is “24”, the winning number for left bell 3 is “25”, and the winning number for left bell 4 is “ “26” is the winning number of the middle bell 1, “27” is the winning number of the middle bell 2, “28” is the winning number of the middle bell 3, “29” is the winning number of the middle bell 4 , “30” is the winning number for right bell 1, “31” is the winning number for right bell 2, “32” is the winning number for right bell 3, “33” is the winning number for right bell 4 “34” is assigned as the number, and “35” is assigned as the winning number of the common bell.

  As described above, in the special combination winning number table and the general combination winning number table, the lottery subject for internal lottery and the winning number are set correspondingly.

  In the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 executes an internal lottery process when a start operation is performed, and when any of the special combination and the general combination is won in the internal lottery The winning number corresponding to the lottery subject for which the winning is determined is set in a predetermined area of the RAM 41c, and if no winning combination is won, the winning number corresponding to the loss is set in the predetermined area of the RAM 41c. The winning number indicating the winning of the general role is cleared at the end of one game, while the winning number indicating the winning of the special role is maintained until the winning special role is won, and the selected special role is won by winning Cleared.

  After setting the winning number, the main control unit 41 executes an internal winning command setting process, and based on the internal winning number set in a predetermined area of the RAM 41c, the first internal winning command and the second internal winning command The command is set in the command queue, and the first internal winning command and the second internal winning command are transmitted to the sub-control unit 91 by the timer interruption process (main) thereafter.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 27, in the internal winning command setting process, first, the winning number of the special role set in the predetermined area of the RAM 41c in the internal lottery process is acquired (Sf1), and the acquired winning number is displayed. The transmission winning number to be transmitted to the sub-control unit 91 is set in a predetermined area of the RAM 41c (Sf2), and the first internal winning command is stored in the command queue based on the transmission winning number. The command transmitted by the main control unit 41 is composed of 2 bytes, the first byte represents MODE (command classification), and the second byte represents EXT (command content). When storing the first internal winning command in the command queue, 41 stores MODE indicating that the first internal winning command is in the first byte, and winning for sending the special role in the second byte EXT. Stores the number.

  In the step of Sf3, after storing the first internal winning command, the winning number of the general combination set in the predetermined area of the RAM 41c in the internal lottery process is acquired (Sf4), and the acquired winning number is less than 2. It is determined whether there is (Sf5), less than 20 (Sf6), less than 23 (Sf7), and less than 35 (Sf8). It is determined which of a plurality of predetermined ranges the number is in a predetermined range.

  If it is determined in step Sf5 that the winning number is less than 2, that is, if the winning number is 0 or 1, the acquired winning number is transmitted to the sub-control unit 91. The number is set in a predetermined area of the RAM 41c (Sf9). If it is determined in step Sf5 that the winning number is not less than 2 and it is determined in step Sf6 that it is less than 20, that is, if the winning number is one of 2 to 19, 2 is set in a predetermined area of the RAM 41c (Sf10). When it is determined that the winning number is not less than 20 in step Sf6 and is less than 23 in step Sf7, that is, when the winning number is any of 20 to 22, the winning number is The winning number for transmission is set in a predetermined area of the RAM 41c (Sf9). If it is determined in step Sf7 that the winning number is not less than 23 and it is determined in step Sf8 that it is less than 35, that is, if the winning number is any of 23 to 34, the winning number for transmission is used. 23 is set in a predetermined area of the RAM 41c (Sf10). If it is determined in step Sf8 that the winning number is not less than 35, that is, if the winning number is 35, the winning number is set as a transmission winning number in a predetermined area of the RAM 41c (Sf9).

  Then, after setting the general winning transmission winning number in the predetermined area of the RAM 41c in the steps Sf9, Sf10, and Sf11, the second internal winning command is stored in the command queue based on the transmitting winning number. When storing the second internal winning command in the command queue, the main control unit 41 stores MODE indicating that it is the second internal winning command in the first byte, and plays a general role in the second byte of EXT. Stores the winning number for transmission.

  After the second internal winning command is stored in the command queue in step Sf10, the internal winning command setting process is terminated and the process returns to the main process (main).

  Thus, in the internal winning command setting process of the present embodiment, the winning number of the special role set in the predetermined area of the RAM 41c in the internal lottery process is set as the winning number for transmission, and the first including the winning number for transmission is included. Set the internal winning command in the command queue.

  Further, in the internal winning command setting process of the present embodiment, the winning number of the general combination set in the predetermined area of the RAM 41c in the internal lottery process is within the first predetermined range (0, 20, 20, 22, 35). In this case, the winning number is set as a transmission winning number, and the second internal winning command including the transmission winning number is set in the command queue. Thereby, in the second internal winning command to be transmitted when the winning number within the first predetermined range (0 to 20, 20 to 22, 35) is set in the internal winning, The winning number by internal lottery can be specified based on the winning number for transmission included.

  On the other hand, when the winning number is within the second predetermined range (2 to 19), one winning number (2) included in the second predetermined range is set as the transmitting winning number, and the transmitting winning number is set. The second internal winning command including the number is set in the command queue. Thereby, in the second internal winning command to be transmitted when the winning number within the second predetermined range (2 to 19) is set in the internal winning, the winning number for transmission included in the command is transmitted. On the other hand, it is not possible to specify whether the winning number is in the second predetermined range (2-19), while the winning number is in the second predetermined range (2-19) It is possible to identify a certain thing.

  Further, when the winning number is within the third predetermined range (23 to 34), one winning number (23) included in the third predetermined range is set as the transmitting winning number, and the transmitting winning number is set. The second internal winning command including the number is set in the command queue. Thereby, in the second internal winning command to be transmitted when the winning number within the third predetermined range (23 to 34) is set in the internal winning, the winning number for transmission included in the command is transmitted. On the other hand, it is impossible to specify which of the numbers in the third predetermined range (23 to 34) the winning number is, while the winning number is in the third predetermined range (23 to 34). It is possible to identify a certain thing.

  The first internal winning command and the second internal winning command set in the internal winning command setting process of the present embodiment are then executed by the timer interrupt process (main), so that the sub-control unit 91 Are sequentially transmitted.

  The main control unit 41 of this embodiment is configured to transmit a command composed of 2 bytes to the sub-control unit 91. However, the form of the command shown in this embodiment is an example, and other data A form may be used. In this embodiment, the command is composed of a 2-byte signal, but these commands may be composed of a 1-byte signal or a 3-byte or more signal.

  In addition, the main control unit 41 of the present embodiment is configured to transmit a first internal winning command and a second internal winning command composed of 2 bytes to the sub-control unit 91. Although the configuration includes a winning number for transmission in the byte, the form of the command shown in this embodiment is an example, and other data forms may be used. For example, the first internal winning command, the second internal winning command Each winning command is composed of a 3-byte signal, and the configuration in which the winning number for sending a special role or the winning number for sending a general role is included in the third byte, the first internal winning command, and the second internal winning command. It may be configured by one signal composed of 3 bytes, and a transmission number for special role transmission may be included in the second byte, and a transmission number for general role transmission may be included in the third byte.

  In the present embodiment, the winning numbers of the special roles corresponding to the types and losing of the special roles (BB, RB) in the special role winning number table are divided and assigned separately. Set, and in the general role winning number table, the winning number of the general role is set according to the type and losing of the general role, and the main control unit 41 determines the winning number of the special role according to the result of the internal lottery and In this configuration, the winning numbers of the general roles are set in the predetermined areas of the RAM 41c. However, the winning numbers are assigned without being divided into the special roles and the general roles, for example, BB, small role, “BB + For example, BB + strong cherry etc. shown in FIG. In such a configuration, the main control unit 41 sets one winning number in a predetermined area of the RAM 41c according to the result of the internal lottery, so that the special combination and the small combination are selected based only on the one winning number. It is possible to perform predetermined control (setting of internal winning flag, navigation notification, command creation, reel 2L, 2C, 2R stop control, etc.).

  Next, the control contents of the push order command transmission process performed by the main control unit 41 will be described with reference to FIGS. 26, 28 and 29. FIG.

  In the present embodiment, navigation numbers (0 to 9) that can identify the stop order of reels by navigation notification are assigned in advance, and among the lottery target combinations, the notification target combination is assigned a navigation number for each type. A navigation number table in which navigation numbers for each type of lottery object combination is set is stored in a predetermined area of the ROM 41b.

  As shown in FIG. 28, as the navigation number, 0 indicating the standard push order (in this embodiment, the stop order in which the left reel 2L is the first stop), the stop order in which the left reel 2L is the first stop, that is, the left first 1 indicating 1 stop, stop order in which the middle reel 2C is the first stop, ie, 2 indicating middle first stop, stop order in which the right reel 2R is the first stop, ie 3, indicating right first stop, and first stop The left reel 2L, the second stop is the middle reel 2C, the third stop is the right reel 2R, and the stop order is 4, the first stop is the left reel 2L, the second stop is the right reel 2R, and the third stop is the middle reel 2C. 5 indicates a stop order, 6 indicates a stop order in which the first stop is the middle reel 2C, the second stop is the left reel 2L, and the third stop is the right reel 2R, and the first stop is the middle reel 2C, the second stop. 7 indicates the stop order, with the right reel 2R and the third stop the left reel 2L. Stop is right reel 2L, second stop is left reel 2L, and third stop is middle reel 2C. 8 shows the stop order, first stop is right reel 2R, second stop is middle reel 2C, and third stop is left. 9 indicating the stop order for the reel 2L is set.

  In this embodiment, the stop order in which the left reel 2L is stopped first is applied as the standard push order specified by the navigation number 0. However, the standard push order is disadvantageously advantageous for the player. As long as they are in a standard push order, other stop orders may be used.

  As shown in FIG. 26, in the navigation number table, a navigation number is set for each type of notification target combination among lottery target combinations, and for left bell 1, left bell 2, left bell 3, and left bell 4. "1" is for the middle bell 1, middle bell 2, middle bell 3, and middle bell 4, and "2" is "3" for the right bell 1, right bell 2, right bell 3, and right bell 4. "Is set for replay GR1," 5 "for replay GR2," 6 "for replay GR3," 7 "for replay GR4, and replay GR5 “8” is set to “9” for the replay GR6.

  In addition, for replay GR11-16, a navigation number is set according to the winning situation of the above-described extra lottery. For replay GR13 and replay GR14, navigation number 2 is set. For replay GR15 and replay GR16, navigation number 3 is set. 2 is set for the replay GR12 and the replay GR13, and the navigation number 1 is set for the replay GR14 and the replay GR15. Further, navigation numbers 1 and 2 are set for replay GR21 and replay GR24, navigation numbers 1 and 3 are set for replay GR22 and replay GR25, and navigation numbers 2 and 3 are set for replay GR23 and replay GR26. .

  Note that no navigation number is set for the normal replay, strong cherry, weak cherry, watermelon, and common bell that are not notification target combinations among the lottery combinations.

  In this embodiment, the main control unit 41 wins the general combination set in the predetermined area of the RAM 41c when the start operation is performed and when the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R are stopped. A push order command setting process for setting a push order command corresponding to the number in the command queue is executed, and the push order command is transmitted to the sub-control unit 91 by the subsequent timer interrupt process (main).

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 29, in the push order command setting process, first, the winning number of the general combination set in the predetermined area of the RAM 41c in the internal lottery process is acquired (Sg1), and then the predetermined area of the RAM 41c. Whether or not the navigation notification is performed (when the navigation notification is performed during AT or non-AT) with reference to a predetermined flag indicating whether the navigation notification is set or not Is determined (Sg2). If it is determined in step Sg2 that the navigation notification is not performed, whether or not the winning combination to be stopped on the winning line LN is confirmed based on the stop status of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R and the result of the internal lottery. (Sg5), and if the winning combination is not confirmed in the winning line LN, the standard navigation number (0 in this embodiment) is set as a transmission navigation number in a predetermined area of the RAM 41c (Sg6).

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the navigation notification is in the state at step Sg2, or when it is determined at step Sg5 that the winning combination to be stopped on the winning line LN is determined, it is stored in a predetermined area of the ROM 41b. Referring to the navigation number table (see FIG. 26), the navigation number corresponding to the winning number of the general combination acquired in step Sg1 is set as a transmission navigation number in a predetermined area of RAM 41c.

  At this time, if it is specified that the replays GR1 to GR6 are winning based on the internal winning numbers, the stop order in which the combination of the promotion replays is stopped on the winning line LN according to the type of the winning combination. The navigation number shown is set as the transmission navigation number. In addition, when it is specified that the replays GR11 to 16 are won and it is specified that the winning lottery is not selected, the combination of the middle replays is selected in the winning line LN according to the type of the winning combination. A navigation number indicating the stop order to be stopped is set as a transmission navigation number. Further, when it is specified that the replays GR11 to 16 are winning and it is specified that the winning lottery is selected, the combination of special replays is selected in the winning line LN according to the type of the winning combination. A navigation number indicating the stop order to be stopped is set as a transmission navigation number.

  In addition, when it is specified that the replays GR21 to 26 are elected, one of red 7-match replay, red 7 miss-replay, blue 7-match replay, and blue 7 miss-replay depending on the type of the winning role The navigation number indicating the stop order in which the combination of the above can be stopped on the winning line LN is set as the transmission navigation number. In the present embodiment, in the navigation number table, two navigation numbers corresponding to the replays GR21 to 26 are set, but the main control unit 41 selects either one selected by lottery. The navigation number is set as the transmission navigation number.

  In addition, when it is specified that the left bells 1 to 4, the middle bells 1 to 4, and the right bells 1 to 4 are elected based on the internal winning numbers, the middle bell A navigation number indicating a stop order in which the combination is stopped on the winning line LN is set as a transmission navigation number.

  After the transmission navigation number is set in the predetermined area of the RAM 41c in the step of Sg3 or Sg6, the push order command is stored in the command queue based on the transmission navigation number (Sg4). When storing the push order command in the command queue, the main control unit 41 stores MODE indicating the push order command in the first byte, and stores the transmission navigation number in EXT of the second byte.

  After the push order command is stored in the command queue in step Sg4, the push order command setting process is terminated and the process returns to the main process (main).

  Thus, when the start operation is performed, the main control unit 41 according to the present embodiment executes the push order command setting process, which is advantageous for the player when the navigation notification is being executed. If a command for pressing the order that can specify the stop order is set in the command queue and the navigation notification is not being executed, it is impossible to specify the stop order that is advantageous to the player, and this is a standard that is disadvantageous and advantageous for the player. A command for specifying the order of pressing is set in the command queue.

  In addition, the main control unit 41 according to the present embodiment performs a push order command setting process every time a stop operation is performed, so that even when the navigation notification is not being executed, the main control unit 41 stops at the winning line LN. Is determined, a push order command that can specify a stop order advantageous to the player is set in the command queue.

  In addition, the main control unit 41 according to the present embodiment is a case where, for example, the replay GR1 is won in a state where the gaming state is RT1 and the navigation notification is not performed by executing the push order command setting process. When none of the reels 2L, 2C, 2R is stopped, the promotion replay and the middle stage replay can be stopped, but it is not determined which combination will be stopped, so the standard navigation number (“0”) Is set as the transmission navigation number, and a push order command including the transmission navigation number is set. In addition, when the left reel 2L is stopped as the first stop, the promotion replay and the middle replay can still be stopped, and it is not determined which combination will stop, so the standard navigation number ("" 0 ") is set. When the left reel 2L is stopped as the first stop and then the middle reel 2C is stopped as the second stop, only the promoted replay can be stopped by the subsequent stop of the right reel 2R, and the combination to stop is confirmed. Therefore, even when navigation notification is not performed, a navigation number ("4") that can specify a stop order that is advantageous to the player (stop order for winning the promotion replay) is the transmission navigation number. Is set. When a reel other than the left reel 2L is stopped in the first stop, after the left reel 2L is stopped as the first stop, and when a reel other than the middle reel 2C is stopped as the second stop, the subsequent stop Regardless of the order, only the middle stage replay can be stopped, and the combination to be stopped is fixed. Therefore, even when navigation notification is not performed, a navigation number (“ 4 ") is set as the transmission navigation number.

  Also, when the game state is RT1 and the navigation notification is not performed and the replays GR2 to 6 are elected, in the same manner as when the replay GR1 is elected, any role of promotion replay or middle replay is played. When it is not determined whether to stop, a push order command including a standard navigation number (“0”) is set, and it is advantageous for the player when it is determined which role of promotion replay or middle replay stops. A push order command including a navigation number that can specify a specific stop order is set.

  In addition, for example, when the game state is RT0, no navigation notification is performed, and the replay GR11 is won, and when none of the reels 2L, 2C, 2R is stopped, the middle stage replay, special replay, Although the fall replay can be stopped, it is not determined which combination will be stopped, so the standard navigation number ("0") that cannot specify the stop order of the replay GR11 is set as the transmission navigation number. The push order command including the transmission navigation number is set. Then, when the left reel 2L is stopped as the first stop, only the middle stage replay can be stopped, and the combination to stop is fixed. Therefore, even if the navigation notification is not performed, the stop advantageous to the player A navigation number (“2”) that can specify the order (stop order in which special replays are won) is set as the transmission navigation number. In addition, when the middle reel 2C is stopped as the first stop, it is determined that only the special replay is stopped. Therefore, a navigation number ("2") that can specify a stop order advantageous for the player is used for transmission. When the right reel 2R is stopped as the first stop and the right reel 2R is stopped, it is determined that only the fall replay is stopped. Therefore, a navigation number ("2") that can specify a stop order that is advantageous to the player. ) Is set as the transmission navigation number.

  In addition, when the game state is RT0 and the navigation notification is not performed and the replays GR12 to 16 are won, any of the middle stage replay, special replay, and fall fall replay is performed in the same manner as when the replay GR11 is won. When it is not determined whether the combination will stop, a push order command including the standard navigation number (“0”) is set, and it is determined which combination of middle replay, special replay, and fall replay will stop In addition, a push order command including a navigation number that can specify a stop order advantageous to the player (stop order in which a special replay is won) is set.

  Also, when the game state is RT2 and no navigation notification is made and the replays GR21 to 26 are won, the replays of red 7 and red 7 are missed in the same way as when the replays GR1 to 6 are won. When it is not certain which one of the replay, blue 7 complete replay, blue 7 missed replay, and promoted replay will stop, a push order command including a standard navigation number (“0”) is set, and which role When it is determined whether to stop, it is possible to specify a stop order (stop order in which red 7 complete replay, red 7 missing replay, blue 7 complete replay, blue 7 missing replay are awarded) that is advantageous to the player. Push order commands including are set.

  Further, when the left bell 1 to 4, the middle bell 1 to 4, and the right bell 1 to 4 are won in a state where navigation notification is not performed, the same as when the replay GR 1 to 6 or the replay GR 21 to 26 is won. Thus, when it is not certain which combination of the middle bell and the upper bell 1 to 8 is to be stopped, a push order command including the standard navigation number (“0”) is set, and which combination is to be stopped. Is determined, a push order command including a navigation number that can specify a stop order that is advantageous to the player (stop order for winning the middle bell) is set.

  As described above, in this embodiment, the main control unit 41 does not control the AT, and when the notification target role is won, the main control unit 41 determines the stop order that is advantageous to the player at the timing determined for the player. A push order command including a navigation number that can specify an advantageous stop order is set and transmitted to the sub-control unit 91. The timing at which an advantageous stop order is determined is the timing at which the first stop operation is performed in the three-choice roles (replay GRs 11 to 16 and replay GRs 21 to 26 of the push-order replays), and the six-choice roles ( In the replays GR1 to GR6), it is the timing when the first stop operation is performed and it is determined that the winning combination advantageous to the player is not stopped, or the second stop operation is performed.

  The push order commands set in the push order command setting process of this embodiment are sequentially transmitted to the sub-control unit 91 by executing the timer interrupt process (main) thereafter.

  When the sub control unit 91 specifies that the navigation notification is being performed on the main control unit 41 side based on the push order command, the first internal winning command, and the second internal winning command described above. In addition, a navigation effect is performed. When the sub control unit 91 performs the navigation effect, the winning of the notification target role is specified based on the second internal winning command, and the navigation number is other than “0” based on the push order command. That is, when it is specified that the pressing order advantageous to the player is other than the standard pressing order, the liquid crystal display 51 displays a stop order image indicating the stop order according to the navigation number specified based on the pressing order command. To display. In the navigation effect, the liquid crystal display 51 displays an image that suggests a role that may be won based on the second internal winning command. At this time, for example, when the push order bell is elected as the notification target role, by displaying the image of “bell”, it is possible to win the push order bell, and the push order replay is won. If there is, the type of replay GR that may be won is identified based on the gaming state (RT0 to RT3) on the main control unit 41 side identified based on the gaming state command or the like, and the identified replay By performing effects according to the roles included in the GR (for example, promotion replay in replay GR1-6, special replay in replay GR11-16, red 7 replay or blue 7 replay in replay GR21-26) It is possible to suggest the possibility of winning a role that is advantageous to the player.

  Further, as an effect according to the combination included in the replay GR in the navigation effect, for example, even when the replay GRs 21 to 26 are won in the internal lottery, in the internal winning command transmission process on the main control unit 41 side, “2” indicating the winning of any one of the replays GR 1 to 6, 11 to 16, and 21 to 26 is uniformly set as the winning number for sending the winning command. Replay GRs 21 to 26 are selected by the fact that the winning number for transmission is “2” based on the internal winning command and that the gaming state is RT2 based on the gaming state command or the like. Together with an image showing the stop order corresponding to the navigation number specified based on the push order command and red 7 replay or Included in the replays GR21 to 26 by displaying an image that suggests the possibility of winning the blue 7 replay (in this embodiment, an image that prompts a stop operation at the timing when red 7 and blue 7 are aimed at each reel) It is possible to perform an effect according to a combination that is advantageous to the player (in this embodiment, a combination having a high average number of games won in the ART game number lottery).

  Next, the control content of the winning determination command transmission process performed by the main control unit 41 will be described with reference to FIGS.

  In this embodiment, a winning number (0 to 64) is assigned in advance for each type of winning combination for the special combination and the general combination, and a winning number table in which a winning number is set for each type of winning combination is a predetermined number in the ROM 41b. Stored in the area.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 11, “63” is assigned to “Blue 7-Blue 7-Blue 7” of BB, and “64” is assigned to “Blue 7-Red 7-Red 7” of RB. ing.

  In the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 responds to the combination of symbols stopped on each reel 2L, 2C, 2R when all the reels 2L, 2C, 2R are stopped after the start operation is performed. A winning determination process for determining whether or not a winning has occurred is executed. In the winning determination process, for each reel 2L, 2C, 2R, it is determined whether or not the combination of symbols constituting the winning combination on the winning line LN is stopped, and the combination of symbols constituting the winning combination is stopped. If it is determined, the winning number table is referred to, and the winning number corresponding to the combination of symbols constituting the stopped winning combination is set in the predetermined area of the RAM 41c, while the combination of symbols constituting the winning combination is set. Is determined not to stop, “0” indicating a loss is set as a winning number in a predetermined area of the RAM 41c, and the winning determination process is terminated.

  Then, after executing the winning determination process, the main control unit 41 executes a winning determination command setting process for setting a winning determination command capable of specifying the winning number in the command queue.

  As shown in FIG. 30, in the winning determination command setting process, a winning number set in a predetermined area of the RAM 41c is acquired based on the winning determination result in the winning determination process (Sh1), and the winning determination command is based on the winning number. Is stored in the command queue (Sh2), and the winning determination command setting process is terminated. When storing the winning determination command in the command queue, the main control unit 41 stores MODE indicating the winning determination command in the first byte, and stores the winning number in EXT of the second byte.

  The winning determination command set in the winning determination command setting process is then sequentially transmitted to the sub-control unit 91 by executing the timer interruption process (main).

  As described above, when all the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R are stopped, the main control unit 41 according to the present embodiment executes the winning determination command setting process, sets the winning determination command including the winning number, A winning determination command is transmitted to the sub-control unit 91.

  In the winning determination command setting process of the present embodiment, a winning determination command including the winning number set in the RAM 41c in the winning determination process is set in the command queue, so that a special command or the like that can specify the winning number is used. The processing load can be reduced without performing the conversion process.

  In the present embodiment, since a winning number is assigned for each type of winning combination and stored in a predetermined area of the ROM 41b, the sub-control unit 91 that has received the winning determination command including the winning number is based on the winning number. Thus, it is possible to specify a combination of symbols stopped on each of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R and execute an effect.

  A conventional slot machine has a configuration including a game control unit that controls a game and an effect control unit that controls an effect. The game control unit displays an internal lottery result when a predetermined notification target role is won. Accordingly, it is determined whether or not to control to the AT in which the navigation notification for notifying the operation procedure of the stop switch which is advantageous for the player is executed, and when controlling to the AT, the navigation notification is executed and the internal lottery result Regardless of whether or not the AT is controlled by the AT, the internal winning command is transmitted to the effect control unit, and the effect control unit specifies the internal lottery result based on the internal winning command and controls the game. In the case where the AT is controlled by the AT, the navigation effect is generated to notify the operation procedure advantageous to the player based on the specified internal lottery result.

  In such a configuration, the effect control unit can identify an operation procedure that is advantageous to the player based on the internal winning command regardless of whether or not it is controlled by the AT. In this way, although the game control unit has not decided to control the AT, an operation procedure advantageous to the player according to the internal lottery result is identified from the internal winning command, and the operation procedure is There is a possibility of being notified by the production control unit.

  On the other hand, the main control unit 41 of the present embodiment uses the first internal winning command and the general combination that can specify the winning situation of the special role as the internal lottery result as the internal winning command that can specify the internal lottery result. A second internal winning command that can identify the winning status is set in the internal winning command setting process, and the set command can be transmitted to the sub-control unit 91. In the internal winning command setting process, it is controlled by the AT. Regardless of whether or not the internal lottery result is a notification target combination, it can be specified that the notification target combination has been won, but in general, it is not possible to specify a stop order advantageous to the player Since the second internal winning command related to the combination is set, the second internal winning command changes to the internal lottery result regardless of whether or not the main control unit 41 controls the AT. A common second internal winning command is transmitted regardless of whether or not it is controlled by the AT without specifying an advantageous stopping order for the next player, so that the second internal winning command can be transmitted. This process can be simplified, and even if fraud is made on the side of the sub-control unit 91, it is possible to prevent the stop order that is advantageous for the player from being notified by the navigation effect without being controlled by the AT.

  In the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 is configured to notify the stop order of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R, which is advantageous for the player, by navigation notification according to the notification target combination won by internal winning. The control unit 41 provides an operation mode operated at any one of a plurality of different operation timings, an operation mode operated in any one of a plurality of operation orders, and an operation mode based on a combination thereof by navigation notification. Even in such a configuration, the main control unit 41 specifies that the notification target role has been won regardless of whether or not the main control unit 41 controls the AT. Although the second internal winning command is set on the sub-control unit 91 side by setting the second internal winning command so that an operation mode advantageous to the player cannot be specified. Advantageous operation mode is not be identified for the player in accordance with the internal lottery result from de.

  Further, in this embodiment, the main control unit 41 includes a push order replay and a push order bell as notification target roles for executing the navigation notification, and the main control unit 41 performs internal lottery in the internal winning command setting process. When the result becomes a notification target combination, a second internal winning command is set so that it can be specified whether the notification target combination is a push order replay or a push order bell. Therefore, when the internal lottery result becomes a notification target combination, it is possible to specify whether the notification target combination is a push order replay or a push order bell on the sub-control unit 91 side. It is also possible to perform different presentations depending on the type of notification target combination.

  In addition, the main control unit 41 of this embodiment controls to the AT, and in the state where the navigation notification is executed, when the internal lottery result becomes a notification target role, the stop order advantageous for the player is specified. A push order command setting process for setting a push order command that can be performed is executed and the set push order command is transmitted to the sub-control unit 91, so that the player on the side of the sub-control unit 91 in the state where the navigation notification is executed is performed. It is possible to perform a navigation effect that notifies an advantageous stop order.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 includes a push order replay and a push order bell as notification target roles for executing the navigation notification, and the main control unit 41 executes the navigation notification in the push order command setting process. When the internal lottery result becomes the push order replay in the state of being played, and when the push order bell is reached, that is, in the state where the navigation notification is executed, the notification target roles won by the internal lottery are different However, when the stop order advantageous for the player is common, the push order command including the common navigation number that can specify the stop order advantageous for the player is set, so the types of push order commands can be reduced. it can.

  Further, in the push order command setting process, the main control unit 41 of the present embodiment specifies a stop order that is advantageous for the player when the internal lottery result becomes a notification target role in a state in which navigation notification is executed. While a push order command including a navigation number that can be set is set, in a state other than a state where navigation notification is executed, when the internal lottery result becomes a notification target role, it is not possible to specify a stop order advantageous to the player Since the push order command including the navigation number that can specify the standard push order (first left stop) is set, the result of the internal lottery becomes the notification target regardless of whether or not the navigation notification is executed. Sometimes, a process for setting a push order command including a navigation number can be shared.

  In addition, the main control unit 41 of the present embodiment is configured to stop the corresponding reels 2L, 2C, and 2R step by step every time the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are operated. The order is determined before the operation of all the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R, that is, the third stop operation is completed. For example, when the push order bell is won, the first stop operation is performed. As a result, it is determined whether or not the middle bell can be won, and when the replays GR11 to 16 are selected, the first stop operation is performed to determine whether or not the special replay can be won, and the replay When GR21-26 is elected, the first stop operation will be performed, so red 7-match replay, red 7 miss replay, blue 7 match replay, blue 7 miss replay will be awarded It is determined whether or not the replay GR 1 to 6 is won, and the second stop operation is performed to determine whether or not the promoted replay is awarded. The main control unit 41 In the push order command setting process, when the internal lottery result becomes a notification target in a state other than the state in which the navigation notification is executed, a stage in which a stop order advantageous to the player is determined, that is, the first stop, the second stop After the stop operation is performed, a push order command including a navigation number that can specify an advantageous stop order for the player according to the internal winning result is set and transmitted, so that the sub-control unit 91 is illegally operated. In this case, the sub-control unit 91 is operated in the stop order advantageous for the player when the internal lottery result becomes a notification target role while preventing the stop order advantageous for the player from being specified. It is possible to perform the effect corresponding to whether or not.

  In the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 performs the stop operation of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R when the notification target combination is won in a state other than the state in which the navigation notification is executed in the push order command setting process. Is set, a push order command including a navigation number that can specify a stop order advantageous for the player is set, and the push order command is sent to the sub-control unit 91. However, a command that can specify a stop order that is advantageous to the player after the stop operation of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R is performed and the stop combination is determined is different from the push order command. For example, it is advantageous for the player based on the type of the winning notification target role by sending another command including the winning number of the notification target role won in the internal lottery. It may be configured to allow identifying stop order, separately may be configured to provide a command containing identifiable navigation ID favorable stop order for the player. In such a configuration, the main control unit 41 executes the push order command setting process only when the internal lottery is performed, and then, when the winning combination to be stopped is determined, the stop order advantageous to the player. By setting the process to set a command that can identify the command, it is possible to reduce the load related to the transmission of the push order command by the main control unit 41.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 is configured to execute the push order command setting process when the internal lottery is performed and when the stop operation of each reel 2L, 2C, 2R is performed, After the winning combination to be stopped is determined, every time the pressing order command setting process is performed, a pressing order command capable of specifying a stopping order advantageous to the player is transmitted to the sub-control unit 91. The push order command that can specify the stop order advantageous for the player after the winning combination is determined may be a configuration that is transmitted at least once when the stopping combination is determined. The configuration may be such that the push order command setting process is not executed after a push order command that can specify a stop order that is advantageous to the player is transmitted. With such a configuration, it is possible to reduce a load related to transmission of a push order command by the main control unit 41.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 performs a push order command setting process when an internal lottery is performed and a stop operation is performed on each reel 2L, 2C, 2R in a state in which navigation notification is performed. However, in a state where navigation notification is performed, the push order command setting process may be executed only when an internal lottery is performed. With such a configuration, it is possible to reduce a load related to transmission of a push order command by the main control unit 41 in a state where navigation notification is performed.

  When the start operation is performed, the main control unit 41 according to the present embodiment performs an internal lottery, sets a different winning number for each internal lottery result in the RAM 41c according to the internal lottery result, and sets the winning number set. The internal winning flag is set, navigation notification, command creation, reel 2L, 2C, 2R stop control, etc. are performed, and the winning status of the special role is determined as an internal winning command that can specify the internal lottery result. A first internal winning command that can be specified and a second internal winning command that can specify the winning status of the general role are set in the internal winning command setting process, and the set command is transmitted to the sub-control unit 91. The winning number when the notification target combination is won as an internal winning result is a predetermined numerical range (the winning number of the push order replay as the notification target combination is 2 to 2). 9 and the winning number of the push order bell is 23 to 34.) is assigned, and the internal winning command setting process is controlled by the AT and the navigation notification is executed. In a state other than the above, when the winning number set in the RAM 41c is within the predetermined numerical range (2 to 19, 23 to 34), it is possible to specify that it has been notified, but it is advantageous for the player. Since the second internal winning command whose order cannot be specified is set and the set second internal winning command is transmitted to the sub-control unit 91, it is determined whether or not the main control unit 41 controls the AT. Regardless, since the stop order advantageous to the player according to the internal lottery result is not specified from the second internal winning command, the AT is controlled by the AT even if a fraud is made on the sub-control unit 91 side. Advantageous stop order for the player can be prevented from being informed by the navigation performance with no state.

  In addition, as the winning number set when the internal lottery result becomes the notification target combination, a continuous numerical value consisting of a predetermined numerical range is assigned, and the main control unit 41 indicates that the internal lottery result is the notification target combination. Whether or not the winning number used in performing the predetermined control is within a predetermined numerical range assigned to the notification target combination, and therefore the second internal winning command is transmitted. Can be simplified.

  In this embodiment, the main control unit 41 includes a push order replay and a push order bell as notification target roles for executing the navigation notification, and the winning number when the internal lottery result is the push order replay, In other words, the internal lottery results are assigned consecutive numbers in the first numerical range (2 to 19) as the winning application numbers of the lottery target roles of replay GR1-6, replay GR11-16, and replay GR21-26, and the internal lottery The winning number when the result is the push order bell, that is, the internal lottery result is the second numerical range as the winning number of each lottery subject of left bell 1-4, middle bell 1-4, right bell 1-4 Since the consecutive numerical values (23 to 34) are assigned, the main control unit 41 determines whether the winning number is in the first numerical range or the second numerical value when the internal lottery result becomes a notification target combination. Numeric range Depending on whether a push order replay internal lottery result, since it is possible to determine whether the push order bell, can be simplified processing for setting the second internal winning command in internal winning command setting process.

  In addition, the main control unit 41 of the present embodiment has a first state (RT0, RT1, RT2) and a second state (for example, RT1 or RT2 as the first state, RT1 as the first state, It is possible to control to a plurality of gaming states (RT0 to 4, RB) including RT0 or RT2 for RT1 and RT0 or RT1 for RT2 as the first state. The types of push order replays as notification target roles determined in the internal lottery are different (in this embodiment, for example, in RT0, replay GRs 11 to 16 are lottery target roles, while replay GR1 to 6 and replay GR21 to 26 is not a lottery target, and in RT1, replays GR1 to GR6 are lottery targets, while replay GR11 to 16 and replay GRs 21 to 26 are not lottery targets. In RT2, the replay GRs 21 to 26 are the lottery target roles, while the replay GR1 to 6 and the replay GRs 11 to 16 are not the lottery target roles, but are the notification target roles that are the targets of the internal winning in the gaming state RT0-2. The type is different), and the winning number when the internal lottery result is the push order replay when the gaming state is the first state, and the internal lottery result is the push order replay when the gaming state is the second state. Since the winning numbers at the time are all assigned to the first numerical range (2 to 19), the internal lottery results are pushed in both the first state and the second state in the internal winning command setting process. A process for determining whether or not the replay is performed can be shared.

  Further, in the internal winning command setting process, the main control unit 41 according to the present embodiment responds to the internal lottery result when the internal lottery result is a role other than the notification target role or in a state where it is not controlled by the AT. When the second internal winning command including the winning numbers (0 to 20, 20 to 22 and 35 in the present embodiment) is set and the internal lottery result is the push order replay which is the notification target combination, When one winning number (2 in the present embodiment) included in the numerical range (2 to 19) is included and the internal lottery result is a push order bell that is a notification target role, the second numerical range (23 to 34) ), A second internal winning command including one winning number (23 in the present embodiment) is included, so that the internal lottery result is a notification target role in a state where it is not controlled by the AT. Is also subject to notification Since the second internal winning command including the winning number corresponding to the internal lottery result is transmitted even if the internal lottery is out of or no, the second internal winning regardless of whether or not the internal lottery result is a notification target role Processing to create and send commands can be shared.

  In the internal winning command setting process, the main control unit 41 according to the present embodiment determines whether the notification target combination is used when the internal lottery result becomes the notification target combination regardless of whether or not it is controlled by the AT. Although it is possible to specify that it has been won, it is configured to set the second internal winning command related to the general role so that it is not possible to specify a stop order that is advantageous to the player, but when it is not controlled by the AT When the internal lottery result becomes a notification target combination, the fact that the notification target combination has been won can be specified, but the second internal winning related to the general combination so that the stop order advantageous to the player cannot be specified While the command is set and the state is controlled by the AT, when the internal lottery result becomes the notification target combination, the winning number corresponding to the type of the notified notification target combination, for example, the push order When the replay GR 11 is won as a ray, the winning number is “8”. When the middle bell 1 is won as a push order bell, the second internal winning command including the winning number “27” is set to control the AT. In this state, the second internal winning command that can identify the type of the notified role to be notified may be transmitted to the sub-control unit 91. In such a configuration, in the state controlled by the AT, it is possible to specify a stop order advantageous for the player according to the type of the role to be notified from the winning number included in the second internal winning command. The control unit 91 can notify the stop order advantageous for the player by the navigation effect. Further, in such a configuration, in the state controlled by the AT, the winning number of the lottery subject in the internal lottery can be specified from the winning number included in the second internal winning command. For example, when the replay GR 21 is won, an effect suggesting the possibility that the red 7 replay included in the replay GR 21 is won can be performed.

  Further, in such a configuration, the main control unit 41 may be configured not to execute the push order command setting process and transmit the push order command, and is controlled by the AT by adopting such a configuration. In the state, from the winning number included in the second internal winning command, it is possible to specify the stop order advantageous for the player according to the type of the role to be notified, and the sub-control unit 91 side sets the stop order advantageous for the player. While being able to notify by a navigation effect, the load concerning transmission of the push order command by the main control part 41 can be reduced.

  The winning number for the push order replay and the winning number for the push order bell need only be set in a continuous numerical range, and the first numerical range in which the winning number for the push order replay is set and the push order. The second numerical value range in which the winning number of the bell is set may be continuous. Even in such a configuration, as in the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not the internal lottery result is a notification target combination, and the winning number used when performing predetermined control is the notification target combination. Since the determination can be made based on whether or not the value is within a predetermined numerical range assigned to the process, the process for transmitting the second internal winning command can be simplified.

  In the present embodiment, 1 to 35 are assigned as the winning numbers for the general combination, and the winning numbers for the push order replay that is the notification target combination are continuously set in the first numerical range (2 to 19). The winning number of the push order bell that is the notification target combination is continuously set in the second numerical range (23 to 34), and the winning numbers of the non-notifying target combination are the first numerical range and the second numerical range. However, it may be configured such that the winning numbers of all the non-notification target roles are continuously set in the third numerical value range. By adopting such a configuration, whether or not the internal lottery result is a notification target combination is within a predetermined numerical range assigned to the notification target combination. Therefore, it is possible to simplify the process when transmitting the second internal winning command, and determine whether the winning number assigned to the non-notifying subject combination is within a predetermined numerical range. The processing to be performed can be simplified.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the main control unit 41, in the internal winning command transmission process, regardless of the gaming state, the same type of notification target role group (in this embodiment, push order replay group, push order bell For each group, the same winning number for transmission (in this embodiment, “2” for the push order replay group and “23” uniformly for the push order group) is set. The second internal winning command including the credit winning number is transmitted to the sub-control unit 91. In the internal winning command transmission process, the group of notification target roles to which the same winning number for transmission is set is at least Regardless of whether or not it is controlled by the AT, when the internal lottery result becomes a notification target role, it can be specified that the notification target role is won, but the stop order advantageous to the player is specified. For a group of the same type of notification target combination that is a lottery target in one gaming state, a plurality of combinations are included so that each group includes one advantageous role for the player. It is good also as a structure which divides | segments into a group and sets the different winning number for transmission for every divided group. As a result, it is possible to specify on the sub-control unit 91 side whether the notification target combination belonging to any one of the plurality of groups has been won, and to execute an effect corresponding to the specified group. As such a configuration, for example, with respect to the push order replay of the present embodiment, the replay GRs 21 to 26 which are the lottery targets in the gaming state RT2 are used for the player (in this embodiment, the red 7 replay and the blue 7 In order to include one replay), the first group (replay GR21 to 23) and the second group (replay GR24 to 26) are divided into different transmissions for the first group and the second group, respectively. By configuring the credit winning number (for example, 2A, 2B), the sub-control unit 91 receives the second internal winning command including the transmission winning number indicating the first group when the gaming state is RT2. While receiving, it becomes possible to identify that the first group has been won and execute an effect suggesting the possibility of red 7 replay winning Receiving the second internal winning command including the winning number for transmission indicating the second group, it is specified that the second group is winning, and the effect suggesting the possibility of winning the blue 7 replay In other words, it is possible to execute an effect that further identifies a role advantageous to the player.

  Next, a display method of payout display in the present embodiment will be described. The payout display is a display showing a combination of symbols to be awarded, and a value given when the symbols are aligned along the winning line LN and won. In the present embodiment, when the sub-control unit 91 detects that the effect switch 56 is pressed for a long time (for example, pressed for 3 seconds or more), the sub-control unit 91 displays a payout on the liquid crystal display 51 (display means) that performs effect display. Display. Thus, in the present embodiment, when the effect switch 56 is pressed and held, the liquid crystal display 51 displays a payout display.

Further, combinations of the special combination, small combination, and re-playing combination that are read out as the lottery target combination for each gaming state are as shown in FIGS. 17 to 19, and when the gaming state is a bonus (BB, RB) The lottery target combination is different depending on the case other than the bonus (BB, RB). That is, the display result that is allowed to be derived varies depending on the gaming state. Further, the winning line in the slot machine 1 of this embodiment is only one winning line LN (middle stage line, see FIG. 1).

  32 to 34 are diagrams showing payout display when the gaming state is other than the bonus (BB, RB) in the present embodiment. FIG. 32 is a view showing a payout display for a special combination among winning combinations other than the bonuses (BB, RB) in the gaming state. In the example shown in the figure, it is shown that BIG BONUS (big bonus, BB) is awarded when a combination of “blue 7-blue 7-blue 7” is aligned on the winning line LN. In addition, it is shown that BIG BONUS ends with a payout exceeding 316 (it ends on the condition that 316 or more medals have been paid out) (value to be given is shown). Further, REGULAR BONUS (regular bonus, RR) is shown to be awarded when the combination of “blue 7-red 7-red 7” is aligned on the winning line LN. In addition, REGULAR BONUS is shown to end 6 times or finish in 12G (it will be completed on the condition that any of the roles have won 6 times or 12 games have been consumed). ing).

  Further, in this embodiment, the payout display (first screen) for the small combination 1 is performed by the operation (first operation) on the left side of the cross key 57 from the payout display (predetermined screen) for the special combination among the winning combinations. It is possible to switch to the payout display (second screen) of the replay 1 (regamer 1) by the operation on the right side of the cross key 57 (second operation). Thereby, the player can arbitrarily confirm the payout display. In the example shown in the figure, as a method for switching the payout display, the payout display of the small role 1 can be switched to by pressing the left side of the cross key 57 at the upper right of the payout display screen, and the right side of the cross key 57 is pressed. It is shown that it is possible to switch to the payout display of replay 1 (regamer 1).

Since there are many symbol combinations in the present embodiment, among the winning combinations other than the bonus (BB, RB) in the gaming state, the payout display of the small roles is seven payouts of the small roles 1 to 7. It is displayed divided into displays.

  FIG. 33A is a diagram showing a payout display for the small combination 1 when the gaming state is other than the bonus (BB, RB). In the illustrated example, “Replay a-Cherry a-Cherry a”, “Replay a-Cherry a-White 7”, “Replay a-Cherry a-BAR”, “Replay a-Cherry b-Cherry a” are shown in the winning line LN. ”,“ Replay a-Cherry b-White 7 ”, when a combination of small plays is awarded, eight medals are paid out (value given). FIG. 33B is a diagram showing a payout display for the small combination 7 when the gaming state is other than the bonus (BB, RB). In the example shown in the figure, when any combination of “watermelon-watermelon-watermelon” and “bell-watermelon-cherry b” is arranged on the winning line LN, a small role is won and five medals are paid out ( Value to be given). Note that the payout display of the small combinations 2 to 6 other than the bonus (BB, RB) in the gaming state is also displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 based on the symbol combination shown in FIG.

  Further, in this embodiment, the bonus is obtained by the operation (first operation) on the left side of the cross key 57 from the payout display (predetermined screen) of the small combination among the winning combinations other than the bonuses (BB, RB). It is possible to switch to the payout display (first screen), and to switch to the payout display (second screen) of replay 1 (replaying game 1) by the operation on the right side of the cross key 57 (second operation). . Thereby, the player can arbitrarily confirm the payout display.

  Further, in this embodiment, the payout display of the small combination when the gaming state is other than the bonus (BB, RB) is divided and displayed on seven screens of the small combination 1 to the small combination 7, so It is possible to switch to the payout display of the next number small combination by the operation on the side, and to switch to the payout display of the previous number small combination by the operation on the upper side of the cross key 57. For example, when the payout display of the small combination 1 is displayed when the gaming state is other than the bonus (BB, RB), the payout of the small combination 2 which is the payout display of the next number small combination by the operation below the cross key 57. The display can be switched to, and the operation of the upper side of the cross key 57 can be switched to the payout display of the small combination 7 which is the payout display of the small number of the previous number. Similarly, when the payout display of the small combination 2 other than the bonus (BB, RB) in the game state is displayed, the operation of the small number 3 of the small combination of the next number is displayed by the operation below the cross key 57. The display can be switched to the payout display, and the operation of the upper side of the cross key 57 can be switched to the payout display of the small combination 1 that is the payout display of the small number of the previous number.

  FIG. 34 is a diagram showing a payout display of replay (re-gamer) among winning combinations other than the bonus (BB, RB) in the gaming state. In addition, since there are many symbol combinations of the replaying combination in this embodiment, among the winning combinations other than the bonus (BB, RB) in the gaming state, the replay (replaying combination) payout display is replay 1 (replaying combination) 1) to replay 6 (re-gamer 6) are divided and displayed in six payout displays.

  FIG. 34A is a diagram showing a payout display for replay 1 (re-gamer 1) when the gaming state is other than bonus (BB, RB). In the illustrated example, “Replay a-Replay a-Replay a”, “Replay b-Replay a-Replay a”, “Bell-Replay a-Red 7”, “Bell-Replay a-Bell”, When any combination of “bell-replay a-replay a” is completed, a replay (replaying role) is won, and a replay game (replaying) is given (value to be given). Yes. FIG. 34 (B) is a diagram showing a payout display for replay 6 (re-gamer 6) when the gaming state is other than bonus (BB, RB). In the illustrated example, when any combination of “Bell-Blue 7-Replay a”, “Bell-Watermelon-Replay a”, or “Bell-Cherry a-Replay a” is arranged on the winning line LN (replay (replay)). It is shown that a replay game (re-game) is awarded (value to be given). Similarly, the payout display of replay 2 (replaying game 2) to replay 6 (replaying game 6) when the gaming state is other than bonus (BB, RB) is also based on the symbol combination shown in FIG. Displayed on the device 51.

  In the present embodiment, the left operation of the cross key 57 (first operation) from the payout display (predetermined screen) of the replay (re-gamer) among the winning combinations other than the bonus (BB, RB) in the gaming state. ) Can be switched to the bonus payout display (first screen), and can be switched to the payout display (second screen) of the small role 1 by the operation on the right side of the cross key 57 (second operation). Thereby, the player can arbitrarily confirm the payout display.

  Further, in this embodiment, the payout display of replay (regamer) other than the bonus (BB, RB) is 6 screens of replay1 (regamer1) to replay6 (replayer6). Therefore, it is possible to switch to the payout display of the next-number replay (replaying gamer) by operating the lower side of the cross key 57, and to replay (replay) the previous number by operating the upper side of the cross key 57 It is possible to switch to a payout display of (game player). For example, when the payout display for replay 1 (replaying game 1) other than the bonus (BB, RB) is displayed, the next number of replays (replaying game) is displayed by the operation below the cross key 57. The payout display can be switched to the replay 2 (replaying game 2) payout display, and the replay 6 (replaying game 6) is the payout display of the previous replay (replaying game) by operating the cross key 57. ) Can be switched to the payout display. Similarly, when the payout display of replay 2 (replaying game 2) other than the bonus (BB, RB) is displayed, the next number of replays (replaying game) is operated by the operation below the cross key 57.

It is possible to switch to the payout display of 1).

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 32 to 34, among the winning combinations, special combinations, small combinations, and replays (replaying combinations) are collectively displayed as payouts. For example, as shown in FIG. 32, only the special combination among the winning combinations is displayed together as a special combination payout display (bonus payout display). Further, as shown in FIG. 33, only the small combinations among the winning combinations are collectively displayed as a small combination payout display (dividend display for small combination 1 to payout display for small combination 7). Also, as shown in FIG. 34, among the winning combinations, only replay (replaying combination) is displayed as replay (replaying combination) dividend display (replay 1 (replaying combination 1) dividend display to replay 6 (replaying combination 6). )) (Dividend display). Thus, the player can recognize at a glance whether the special combination payout display, the small combination payout display, or the replay (re-gamer) payout display. Therefore, it is easy to distinguish the contents of the payout by displaying the special combination, the small combination, and the replay (replaying combination) among the winning combinations in a payout (displayed for each type of winning combination). can do.

  Further, in this embodiment, since there are many combinations of winning symbols, the payout display is divided into a plurality of screens as shown in FIGS. In addition, the payout display is divided and displayed on a plurality of screens. However, since the player can switch to another payout display screen by operating the cross key 57 as described above, the player can display all payout displays. Can be confirmed.

  In the present embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 does not switch to another payout display even if time has elapsed since the payout display was displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. That is, the content of the payout display screen divided and displayed on a plurality of screens does not change even if time elapses. For example, if the player switches to another payout display every time a predetermined time has elapsed since the payout display is displayed, the player may switch to another payout display before the player confirms the payout display before switching. In this case, the player cannot confirm the payout display before switching. However, in this embodiment, the content of the payout display screen divided and displayed on a plurality of screens does not change even if time elapses. Furthermore, the player can switch to another payout display screen by operating the cross key 57. Therefore, the player can appropriately confirm the payout display, and the convenience of the player can be improved.

  FIG. 35 is a view showing a payout display of a small combination that is a winning combination in a game state where bonuses (BB, RB). In the present embodiment, the winning combination when the gaming state is bonus (BB, RB) is only the small combination. Further, since there are a lot of symbol combinations in the present embodiment, the payout display of the small role that is a winning combination when the gaming state is a bonus (BB, RB) is displayed in two payout displays of the small role 1 and the small role 2. It is divided and displayed.

  FIG. 35A is a diagram showing a payout display for the small combination 1 when the gaming state is a bonus (BB, RB). In the example shown in the figure, “BONUS” is displayed at the top of the payout display to indicate that the gaming state is a payout display for the small combination 1 in the bonus (BB, RB). In the illustrated example, the winning line LN includes “Bell-Bell-Bell”, “Replay a-Bell-Red 7”, “Replay a-Bell-Replay a”, “Replay b-Bell-Red 7”, “ When any combination of “replay b-bell-replay a” is completed, it is shown that a small role is won and eight medals are paid out (value to be given). FIG. 35B is a diagram showing a payout display for the small combination 2 when the gaming state is a bonus (BB, RB). In the example shown in the drawing, “BONUS” is displayed at the top of the payout display to indicate that the gaming state is the payout display of the small combination 2 in the bonus (BB, RB). Further, in the example shown in the figure, when any combination of “watermelon-watermelon-watermelon” and “bell-watermelon-cherry b” is arranged on the winning line LN, a small role is won and five medals are paid out. (Value given) is shown.

  Further, in this embodiment, the payout display of the small combination when the gaming state is the bonus (BB, RB) is divided and displayed on the two screens of small combination 1 and small combination 2, so that the lower side of the cross key 57 It is possible to switch to the payout display of the small number with the next number by the operation. For example, when the payout display of the small combination 1 is displayed when the gaming state is the bonus (BB, RB), the payout display of the small combination 2 which is the payout display of the next number small combination by the operation below the cross key 57. You can switch to Similarly, when the payout display for the small combination 2 is displayed, it is possible to switch to the payout display for the small combination 1 which is the payout display for the next number of the small combination by an operation below the cross key 57.

  Next, the bonus confirmation effect in the present embodiment will be described. For example, when a predetermined small role is won, the sub-control unit 91 according to the present embodiment executes a bonus confirmation effect with a predetermined probability. FIG. 36 is a diagram illustrating an effect example of the bonus confirmation effect in the present embodiment. When executing the bonus confirmation effect, the sub-control unit 91 displays “Press the button!” On the liquid crystal display 51 as shown in FIG. Thereafter, when the effect switch 56 is pressed for a short time, the sub-control unit 91 displays a different image on the liquid crystal display 51 depending on whether the big bonus or the regular bonus is won (executes a specific effect). To do).

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 36A, the sub control unit 91 displays “Press the button!” On the liquid crystal display 51, and then the effect switch 56 is short-pressed (for example, within 2 seconds). ), When either the big bonus or the regular bonus is won, the liquid crystal display 51 displays “BONUS confirmed!” As shown in FIG. Further, as shown in FIG. 36A, the sub-control unit 91 displays “Press the button!” On the liquid crystal display 51, and then when the effect switch 56 is pressed for a short time, the big bonus and the regular bonus are displayed. If neither of these is won, “unfortunate” is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 as shown in FIG.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 36A, when “Press the button!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51, the player short-presses the effect switch 56 (operation means) (operates in a predetermined manner). When either the big bonus or the regular bonus is won, “BONUS confirmed!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 as shown in FIG. 36B (a specific effect is performed). In addition, as shown in FIG. 36A, when the message “Press the button!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51, the player short-presses the effect switch 56 (operation means) (operates in a predetermined manner). When neither the big bonus nor the regular bonus is won, “unfortunate” is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 as shown in FIG. 36C (a specific effect is performed).

  Thus, the player can recognize whether the big bonus or the regular bonus is won or whether the big bonus or the regular bonus is won. Therefore, the interest of the game can be improved by executing the bonus confirmation effect.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the payout display is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 by pressing the effect switch 56 for a long time. In addition, when “Press the button!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51, the effect switch 56 is pressed for a short time, whereby “BONUS confirmed!” Or “Sorry” is specified on the liquid crystal display 51. An effect is displayed. As described above, since the operation for displaying the payout display (operation in the specific mode) is different from the operation for displaying the specific effect (operation in the predetermined mode), it is possible to prevent the payout display from being erroneously performed. can do.

  The sub-control unit 91 ends the payout display when the start switch 7 is operated while the payout display is being displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. The operation for ending the payout display is not limited to the operation of the start switch 7, and may be an arbitrary operation. For example, the sub-control unit 91 may end the payout display when the MAXBET switch 6 is operated while displaying the payout display on the liquid crystal display 51. Thus, the operation for displaying the payout display on the liquid crystal display 51 (long pressing of the effect switch 56) and the operation for ending the payout display (operation of the start switch 7) are different operations. Thus, it is possible to prevent the payout display from being ended by mistake.

  The sub-control unit 91 ends the payout display when a predetermined time (for example, 5 minutes) has elapsed since the payout display is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. The predetermined time is not limited to 5 minutes, and may be an arbitrary time. Further, the sub-control unit 91 may cause the liquid crystal display 51 to display a demonstration screen after terminating the payout display. FIG. 37 is a diagram showing an example of a demonstration screen in the present embodiment. In the illustrated example, characters are displayed on the demonstration screen.

  The sub-control unit 91 extends the predetermined time when the effect switch 56 (operation unit) or the cross key 57 (operation unit) is operated while the payout display is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. For example, when the effect switch 56 and the cross key 57 are operated while the payout display is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51, the sub control unit 91 extends the predetermined time by 5 minutes. The extended time is not limited to 5 minutes and may be any time. Thereby, the display time is secured so that the payout display does not end unintentionally.

  In addition, as described above, in the present embodiment, the lottery target combination is different when the gaming state is a bonus (BB, RB) and when it is other than the bonus (BB, RB). Therefore, when the sub-control unit 91 detects that the effect switch 56 has been pressed for a long time when the gaming state is other than the bonus (BB, RB), the sub-control unit 91 displays the effect on the liquid crystal display 51 (display means). Any one of payout displays (for example, payout displays shown in FIGS. 32 to 34) other than the bonus (BB, RB) in the gaming state is displayed as the initial screen. Further, when the sub-control unit 91 detects that the effect switch 56 has been pressed for a long time when the game state is a bonus (BB, RB), the sub-control unit 91 displays the game on the liquid crystal display 51 (display means) that performs effect display. One of the payout displays (for example, the payout display shown in FIG. 35) when the state is the bonus (BB, RB) is displayed as the initial screen. That is, the initial screen of the payout display screen is made different depending on the gaming state.

  For example, when the sub-control unit 91 detects that the effect switch 56 is pressed and held when the gaming state is other than the bonus (BB, RB), the sub-control unit 91 causes the liquid crystal display 51 (display means) that displays the effect to be displayed. Of the payout displays when the gaming state is other than the bonus (BB, RB), the special player payout display (FIG. 32) is displayed as the initial screen. The payout display to be displayed as the initial screen when the game state is other than the bonus (BB, RB) is not limited to the special player payout display (FIG. 32), and the payout when the game state is other than the bonus (BB, RB). Any payout display may be used.

  Further, for example, when the sub control unit 91 detects that the effect switch 56 has been pressed for a long time when the gaming state is a bonus (BB, RB), the sub control unit 91 causes the liquid crystal display 51 (display means) that performs effect display. Among the payout displays when the game state is bonus (BB, RB), the payout display of the small combination 1 (FIG. 35A) is displayed as the initial screen. Note that the payout display to be displayed as the initial screen when the gaming state is other than the bonus (BB, RB) is not limited to the payout display of the small role 1 (FIG. 35A), and the gaming state is the bonus (BB, RB). As long as the payout is displayed in (), any payout may be displayed.

  Thereby, the player can appropriately confirm the payout display according to the gaming state, and the convenience of the player can be improved.

In addition, a state control information transmitting unit that transmits a plurality of types of control state commands (state control information) that can specify the control state of the main control unit 41 to the sub control unit 91 is included.

  In addition, the plurality of types of control state commands transmitted by the state control information transmitting unit at one timing are control states that do not change between the first timing (at the start of the game) and the second timing (at the end of the game) In the control state command 2 (first state control information) that can specify a stop order that is advantageous to the player), the first timing (at the start of the game), and the second timing (at the end of the game) And a control state command 1 (second state control information) that can specify a control state that can change (for example, a gaming state or the like).

  In addition, the state control information transmitting unit may transmit a plurality of types of control state commands in the control state command batch setting process (common control) at any timing among the plurality of timings.

  Thereby, since these plural types of state control information are transmitted by common control at any timing among the plural timings, while the sub control unit 91 side grasps the control state of the main control unit 41 in detail, The program capacity when the main control unit 41 transmits the state control information can be reduced.

[Second Embodiment]
Next, a second embodiment will be described.

  38 to 39 are diagrams showing payout display when the gaming state is other than the bonus (BB, RB) in the present embodiment. FIG. 38 is a diagram showing a special combination payout display among winning combinations other than the bonuses (BB, RB) in the gaming state. In the example shown in the figure, it is shown that BIG BONUS (big bonus, BB) is awarded when a combination of “blue 7-blue 7-blue 7” is aligned on the winning line LN. In addition, it is shown that BIG BONUS ends with a payout exceeding 316 (it ends on the condition that 316 or more medals have been paid out) (value to be given is shown). Further, REGULAR BONUS (regular bonus, RR) is shown to be awarded when the combination of “blue 7-red 7-red 7” is aligned on the winning line LN. In addition, REGULAR BONUS is shown to end 6 times or finish in 12G (it will be completed on the condition that any of the roles have won 6 times or 12 games have been consumed). ing).

  Further, in this embodiment, the payout display (first screen) for the small combination 1 is performed by the operation (first operation) on the left side of the cross key 57 from the payout display (predetermined screen) for the special combination among the winning combinations. It is possible to switch to the payout display (second screen) of the replay 1 (regamer 1) by the operation on the right side of the cross key 57 (second operation). Thereby, the player can arbitrarily confirm the payout display. In the example shown in the figure, as a method for switching the payout display, the payout display of the small role 1 can be switched to by pressing the left side of the cross key 57 at the upper right of the payout display screen, and the right side of the cross key 57 is pressed. It is shown that it is possible to switch to the payout display of replay 1 (regamer 1).

  FIG. 39 is a view showing a payout display of a small combination among winning combinations other than the bonus (BB, RB) in the gaming state. Since there are many symbol combinations in the present embodiment, among the winning combinations other than the bonus (BB, RB) in the gaming state, the payout display of the small roles is seven payouts of the small roles 1 to 7. It is displayed divided into displays.

  FIG. 39A is a diagram showing a payout display for the small combination 1 when the gaming state is other than the bonus (BB, RB). In the illustrated example, “Replay a-Cherry a-Cherry a”, “Replay a-Cherry a-White 7”, “Replay a-Cherry a-BAR”, “Replay a-Cherry b-Cherry a” are shown in the winning line LN. ”,“ Replay a-Cherry b-White 7 ”, and“ Replay a-Cherry b-BAR ”are combined, and a small role is won, and eight medals are paid out (given) Value). In this way, in a small combination (hereinafter, also referred to as “eight-piece combination” in this embodiment) where eight medals are paid out, if “replay a-cherry a” is aligned on the reels 2L and 2C. Even if any of the three types of specific symbols, “white 7”, “cherry a”, or “BAR” is stopped, the small role is won. Similarly, if “Replay a-Cherry b” is aligned on the reels 2L and 2C, any one of the three specific symbols “Right 7”, “Cherry a” or “BAR” is selected on the reel 2R. Even if you stop, the small role will win. In the illustrated example, a combination symbol display combining a part of two types of specific symbols (a combination of a part of white 7 and a part of cherry a in the reel 2R in the figure) and a symbol alone are displayed. The symbol combination in which a winning occurs is displayed using normal symbol display (replay a, cherry a, cherry b, BAR on reel 2R in reel 2L and reel 2C in the figure). In the combination symbol display, two types of specific symbols “white 7” and “cherry a” are separated by diagonal lines (slashes), and a part of each is combined.

  FIG. 39B is a diagram showing a payout display for the small combination 7 when the gaming state is other than the bonus (BB, RB). In the example shown in the figure, when any combination of “watermelon-watermelon-watermelon” and “bell-watermelon-cherry b” is arranged on the winning line LN, a small role is won and five medals are paid out ( Value to be given). Also, when any combination of “Cherry a-bell-replay a”, “Red 7-bell-replay a”, and “BAR-bell-replay a” is arranged on the winning line LN, a small role is won, It shows that one medal is paid out (value to be given). In this way, in the small combination (hereinafter, also referred to as “one-piece combination” in the present embodiment) in which one medal is paid out, if the reel 2C and the reel 2R are aligned with “bell-replay a”, Even if any of the three types of specific symbols “Cherry a”, “Red 7”, or “BAR” stops on the reel 2L, the small role is won. In the illustrated example, a combination symbol display combining a part of two kinds of specific symbols (a combination of a part of red 7 and a part of BAR in the reel 2L in the figure), and a normal one displaying a symbol alone. A symbol combination in which a winning occurs is displayed using symbol display (cherry a on reel 2L, bell on reel 2C and reel 2R, replay a) in the diagram. In the combination symbol display, two types of specific symbols “white 7” and “cherry a” are separated by diagonal lines (slashes), and a part of each is combined.

  Note that the payout display of the small combinations 2 to 6 other than the bonus (BB, RB) in the gaming state is also displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 based on the symbol combination shown in FIG.

  Further, in this embodiment, the bonus is obtained by the operation (first operation) on the left side of the cross key 57 from the payout display (predetermined screen) of the small combination among the winning combinations other than the bonuses (BB, RB). It is possible to switch to the payout display (first screen), and to switch to the payout display (second screen) of replay 1 (replaying game 1) by the operation on the right side of the cross key 57 (second operation). . Thereby, the player can arbitrarily confirm the payout display.

  Further, in this embodiment, the payout display of the small combination when the gaming state is other than the bonus (BB, RB) is divided and displayed on seven screens of the small combination 1 to the small combination 7, so It is possible to switch to the payout display of the next number small combination by the operation on the side, and to switch to the payout display of the previous number small combination by the operation on the upper side of the cross key 57. For example, when the payout display of the small combination 1 is displayed when the gaming state is other than the bonus (BB, RB), the payout of the small combination 2 which is the payout display of the next number small combination by the operation below the cross key 57. The display can be switched to, and the operation of the upper side of the cross key 57 can be switched to the payout display of the small combination 7 which is the payout display of the small number of the previous number. Similarly, when the payout display of the small combination 2 other than the bonus (BB, RB) in the game state is displayed, the operation of the small number 3 of the small combination of the next number is displayed by the operation below the cross key 57. The display can be switched to the payout display, and the operation of the upper side of the cross key 57 can be switched to the payout display of the small combination 1 that is the payout display of the small number of the previous number.

  In the payout display of FIG. 39, the combination symbol display size is larger than the normal symbol display size for both the eight-piece combination and the one-piece combination. Thereby, the visibility of the symbol combination in the payout display can be enhanced while the size of the area used for the payout display is moderate.

  In the payout display of FIG. 39, a combination of two types of specific symbols of “white 7” and “cherry a” is combined in the combination symbol display of 8 winning combinations, and “red 7” is combined in the combination symbol display of 1 winning combination. ”And“ BAR ”are partly combined. The size of a part of the specific symbols in the combination symbol display is larger than ½ of the size when one specific symbol is displayed alone in the payout display on the liquid crystal display 51. . Thereby, the visibility of the symbol combination in the payout display can be enhanced while the size of the area used for the payout display is moderate.

  Also, in the payout display of FIG. 39, “white 7” in the combination symbol display of 8 sheets has a characteristic portion colored in white unlike 7 of other colors, and “cherry a” is different from cherry b in leaf. It has a characteristic part in which the number of sheets is two. In combination symbol display, a part of each specific symbol is combined so as to include each characteristic part. Similarly, “Red 7” in the combination symbol display of one piece has a characteristic portion colored in red unlike the other 7, and “BAR” is marked with BAR unlike the other symbols. Has a characteristic part. In combination symbol display, a part of each specific symbol is combined so as to include each characteristic part. Thereby, the visibility of the symbol combination in the payout display can be enhanced while the size of the area used for the payout display is moderate.

  Also, in the payout display of FIG. 39, a symbol display (including both a combination symbol display and a normal symbol display) is superimposed and displayed on the background of the shaded line by the horizontal line. Each symbol display in the payout display has a white border that can be distinguished from the background. Further, a white border similar to the symbol display is also attached to the diagonal lines of the combination symbol display. This makes it easy to identify parts of the symbols.

  In the payout display of FIG. 39, the combination symbol display and the symbol combination other than the reel are displayed using the combination symbol display so as not to overlap. Thereby, the visibility of combination symbol display can be secured.

  In the payout display of FIG. 39, it is also possible to use a combination symbol display by combining a part of symbols on the vertical axis or the horizontal axis. In this case, part of the symbols to be combined can be displayed in full width. For example, red 7 and BAR are partitioned by the horizontal axis and a part of each is displayed, and each is displayed in full width. Thereby, the visibility of combination symbol display can be secured.

  Further, in the payout display of FIGS. 38 and 39, the symbol combinations are displayed so that the symbol displays of each reel do not overlap each other. Thereby, the distinguishability of the symbol combination is enhanced, and it is possible to easily recognize the symbol combination that specifies the type of winning.

  38 and 39, “red 7”, “blue 7”, “white 7”, “replay a”, “cherry a”, “cherry b”, and “BAR” are displayed in the payout display. The shape of each reel shown in FIG. For this reason, in each symbol display, the ratio of the size of each reel on the vertical and horizontal axes is the same. Thereby, the discriminability of the symbol combination display is improved, and the symbol combination display can be easily recognized. The symbol in the payout display may not be the same shape as the reel symbol, and may be similar (substantially the same shape) as long as the symbol identification is not impaired.

  In the payout display of FIGS. 38 and 39, “red 7”, “blue 7”, “white 7”, “replay a”, “cherry a”, “cherry b”, “cherry b”, “ The size of “BAR” is different. Specifically, “Red 7”, “Blue 7”, and “White 7” are the largest, followed by “BAR”, followed by “Replay a”, “Cherry a”, and “Cherry b”. It is the smallest. Thereby, it is possible to appropriately distinguish the types of winning a prize.

  Also, in the payout display of FIGS. 38 and 39, a symbol display (including both a combination symbol display and a normal symbol display) is superimposed and displayed on the background shaded by horizontal lines. Each symbol display in the payout display has a white border that can be distinguished from the background. Thereby, the distinguishability of the symbol combination is enhanced, and it is possible to easily recognize the symbol combination that specifies the type of winning.

  Also, in the payout display of FIGS. 38 and 39, a symbol display (including both a combination symbol display and a normal symbol display) is superimposed and displayed on the background shaded by horizontal lines. In this embodiment, the payout display is displayed by the liquid crystal display 51, but the background of the payout display is a still image. Thereby, the distinguishability of the symbol combination is enhanced, and it is possible to easily recognize the symbol combination that specifies the type of winning.

  Also, in the payout display of FIGS. 38 and 39, a symbol display (including both a combination symbol display and a normal symbol display) is superimposed and displayed on the background shaded by horizontal lines. In the reels 2L, 2C, 2R, the background of the design is plain. Therefore, the payout display background and the reel background are different. Thereby, the design of the payout display can be improved.

  Also, in the payout display of FIGS. 38 and 39, a symbol display (including both a combination symbol display and a normal symbol display) is superimposed and displayed on the background shaded by horizontal lines. Each symbol display in the payout display has a white border that can be distinguished from the background. Further, the number of payouts (“8”, “5”, “1” in FIG. 39) and characters indicating the operation mode of the cross key 57 (“small role 1”, “replay 1” in FIG. 38, FIG. 39). “Small role 1”, “small role 2”, “small role 6”, “small role 7”, “bonus”, “replay 1”), characters indicating the type of role (“bonus” in FIG. 38, FIG. 39, “Small 1”, “Small 7”), and other characters (“Switch”, “BIG BONUS ends with 316 payouts”, “REGULAR BONUS ends 6 times or 12G”) are also white Border is attached. This makes it easy to identify the number of payouts and other information.

  Also, in the payout display of FIGS. 38 and 39, even when the payout display is switched, the background of each payout display is a shaded background with horizontal lines and is a common background. Thereby, a player can distinguish the kind of winning a prize appropriately.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 39, in the case of the eight-piece combination, even if any of the three types of specific symbols, “white 7”, “cherry a”, or “BAR”, stops on the reel 2R, Won the prize. However, when “white 7”, “cherry a”, and “BAR” on the reel 2R are displayed in combination symbols, the visibility of the symbol combination decreases. Therefore, all three types of symbols are not displayed as combined symbols, and “White 7”, “Cherry a”, and “BAR” among “White 7” and “Cherry a” are used to win eight winning combinations. With the first display for displaying the combination and the second display for displaying the symbol combination for winning the eight-piece combination using “BAR” other than “White 7” and “Cherry a”, the winning of the eight-piece combination is obtained. The generated symbol combinations are displayed. The same applies to “Replay a-Cherry b-Cherry a”, “Replay a-Cherry b-White 7”, and “Replay a-Cherry b-BAR”, which are symbol combinations that generate a winning combination of eight sheets. . The same applies to symbol combinations in which a single winning combination is generated. Thereby, the visibility of the symbol combination can be enhanced while the size of the area used for the payout display is moderate.

  Further, a common payout display (“8 sheets” in FIG. 39A and “1 sheet” in FIG. 39B) is performed for the first display and the second display. Thereby, the payout display for the symbol combination can be simplified.

  In addition, it is also possible to make the same number of types of symbols divided between the first display and the second display. For example, when the symbol combination in which a winning combination of a small role where eight medals are paid out occurs is common to the first reel and the second reel and there are four types of symbols on the third reel (for example, “Replay a-Cherry b- “Cherry a”, “Replay a-Cherry b-White 7”, “Replay a-Cherry b-BAR”, “Replay a-Cherry b-Bell”) (for example, “Replay a- The first display of “cherry b-cherry a / white 7” and the second display of “replay a-cherry b-BAR / bell” can be divided. As a result, the combination of symbols and the distinguishability of characters can be enhanced, and the combination of symbols can be easily recognized.

[Modification 1 of the second embodiment]
As a modification of the present embodiment, the symbol display in the payout display can be made larger than the symbols of the first to third reels. Furthermore, the symbol display in the payout display can be made larger than the smallest symbol of the first to third reels.

  In the payout display in FIG. 40, for example, BIG BONUS (big bonus, BB) is shown to win when the combination of “blue 7-blue 7-blue 7” is aligned on the winning line LN. Further, REGULAR BONUS (regular bonus, RR) is shown to be awarded when the combination of “blue 7-red 7-red 7” is aligned on the winning line LN. The symbols in the payout display are larger than “blue 7”, “red 7” and “white 7” which are the largest symbols among the symbols arranged on the reels 2L, 2C, 2R. That is, it is larger than any of the symbols of the reels 2L, 2C, 2R. In addition, it is larger than the smallest symbols ("cherry a" and "cherry b") on the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R. As a result, the combination of symbols and the distinguishability of characters can be enhanced, and the combination of symbols can be easily recognized.
